Korea Allows 3-Month Supply of Overseas Weight-Loss Drugs
The Korean government now permits people who have legally purchased weight-loss drugs overseas to bring up to three months' supply into the country, Yonhap reports. This comes as one in 10 Korean adults used or was prescribed obesity drugs such as Wegovy and Mounjaro in the past year, with younger generations reporting higher usage and one-third of respondents saying they would use such drugs, according to the Korea Times. The Ministry of Food and Drug Safety has also issued a safety alert over a rare vision-loss risk linked to GLP-1 obesity drugs, while Hanmi Pharmaceutical's domestically developed treatment has entered the market, challenging global rivals on price, Business Korea reports.
