Four Corners: Apr 1

Monday’s Four Corners story is “The Ozempic Underground.”

Ozempic … Mounjaro … they’re the weight-loss wonder drugs in high demand and short supply.

Some pharmacists think making their own versions of the injectable drugs is now the answer, but as Four Corners reveals, it’s leading to an unregulated black market and the potential for dangerous side effects.

In this investigation, the ABC’s national health reporter Elise Worthington meets desperate patients trying to access the medications, and exposes an Australian-based scam illegally exporting the suspect drugs overseas.
