US residents can buy medicines abroad the FDA link says personal importation is allowed as long as the medicines are FDA approved and are not being imported for commercial purposes. Now in the context of the original post maybe generic versions of Ozempic won't technically be FDA approved yet if the company that produces it has to wait for the US patent to expire.

The FDA approved version may be significantly cheaper to compete with the generic brands.

I also wonder if only the "active ingredients" need to be FDA approved, and the packaging is irrelevant?
