CANFIELD A Canfield nurse has been indicted for allegedly distributing drugs not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

According to a Mahoning County Grand Jury Report, Elizabeth Zinni, owner of the Zinni Family Practice in Canfield, was indicted on two counts of sale or use of drugs not approved by the FDA, a fifth-degree felony.

According to the indictment one alleged distribution happened in April of 2025 and a second allegedly happened in June.

This indictment comes after Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost sent a warning to Zinni Family Practice, warning it to stop making false or misleading claims on its compounded variations of Semaglutide and Trizepatide.

Semaglutide and Trizepatide are active ingredients in name-brand medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, Zepbound and Mounjaro. 

In a press release from April of 2025, Yost alleged that Zinni Family Practice incorrectly suggested that these compounded versions are approved by the FDA and just as safe as the name-brand versions.

At that time, Zinni released a statement to 21 News stating that the fact that these compounded drugs are not FDA-approved is "clearly communicated" to Zinni Family Practice's patients, and that the drugs are dispensed by a licensed 503A compounding pharmacy.

It is unclear if this indictment is connected to that warning.

21 News has reached out to the Zinni Family Practice regarding the indictment, and we're waiting to hear back.
