flag Chinese suppliers shift from making unauthorized weight-loss drugs to developing legitimate generics.

flag Chinese suppliers, once key providers of cut-price weight-loss drugs to the US gray market, are now shifting to making legitimate generics. flag This change follows US regulatory crackdowns on compounding pharmacies and a drop in raw ingredient shipments. flag Previously, these suppliers provided enough semaglutide and tirzepatide to produce over a billion unauthorized doses. flag Now, shipments of these ingredients from China have fallen dramatically, with semaglutide down 90% and tirzepatide down 34%. flag At least eight Chinese companies are now developing their own generics as patents expire in markets like Canada and Brazil.
