The Food and Drug Administration is cracking down on websites that claim to sell the underlying chemicals of popular diabetes and obesity drugs like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Zepbound, saying that the websites are selling unapproved and misbranded drug products.

The regulator this week posted warning letters that it sent to two websites, Synthetix Inc. DBA Helix Chemical Supply and US Chem Labs. Though those websites say their chemicals are “for research use” and “not for human consumption,” the FDA said it found evidence on their pages showing that their products are indeed intended for human use, such as information about dosing and claims about the clinical benefits of the products.

The two websites did not immediately respond to requests for comment. The FDA said they have 15 working days to respond and detail the steps they’ve taken to address any violations.
