The Ministry of Food and Drug Safety said it will block the entry of the recently released GLP-1 obesity treatment "Wigobi" into Korea through direct overseas purchases.
The Ministry of Food and Drug Safety said that obesity treatment should be taken according to the doctor's prescription and pharmacist's guidance, and that it was difficult to confirm the authenticity of the drug if purchased directly from overseas, and there was a concern of misuse.
The Ministry of Food and Drug Safety also explained that it has set Hugo Bee, Saxenda, and diet pills as prohibited search terms for major online shopping malls and requested monitoring cooperation.
In addition, he added that from the 15th when Hugo Bee was released, 12 online violation posts were detected and taken action from yesterday.
