Jan. 16, 2024 – A Nashville pharmacy that created a knockoff version of popular weight loss drugs like Ozempic and Mounjaro was forced to shut down after its chief operating officer died by suicide, ACA Pharmacy generated millions of dollars in the first half of last year as it capitalized on the craze surrounding weight loss drugs by making a generic version of appetite suppressants like Ozempic, Mounjaro and Wegovy.
But the pharmacy’s rapid growth led it to hire dozens of pharmacists and technicians who had little to no experience working in a pharmacy, according to The Washington Post.
ACA staffers, one of which worked at a fast food restaurants before they were hired as a technician, openly used the generic medications on themselves without a prescription.
Patients reported that they were sent the wrong prescriptions while others said they received medications that were intended for someone else.
