The U.S. Attorney's Office has charged a Pittsburgh-area wellness counselor with mislabeling medication meant for cows and giving it to her weight loss patients.

Nicole Millen is not a licensed medical professional. Authorities say she operated two weight loss clinics in the Pittsburgh area: Renu Medical and Weight Loss and Choice Restorative Medicine.

Court documents allege that between February 2022 and May 2023, Millen prescribed her patients the drug Chorulon.

Chorulon is used to treat cystic ovaries in cows and is not approved for human use.

Millen and her employees allegedly ordered the drug from a retailer in Illinois
