Posted 2 April 2024 AM

The regulator tested the product labelled Semaglutide 2.64mg/mL, L-carnitine 100mg/mL B12 .05mg/mL solution for SC injection 3 and found the vials contain ten times the amount of vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin) labelled and the content of L-carnitine, was estimated at 0.5-0.7mg/mL, well below the labelled 100mg/mL.
