Several Northeast Ohio Med Spas Get Blasted by Ohio Attorney General
Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost announced Wednesday he sent letters to 14 medical spas, many in Northeast Ohio, warning them to stop making false or misleading claims about their versions of popular weight-loss drugs.
With the popularity of FDA approved drugs such as Ozempic, Wegovy, Zepbound and Mounjaro, several health spas are offering compounds of the active ingredient in those drugs to customers.
According to Yost, compound drugs like semaglutide and/or tirzepatide have not been tested and approved by the FDA, and some spas are advertising them as just as safe and effective.
