Important safety information
Read before starting care
GLP-1 medications are not appropriate for everyone. Patients should share complete and accurate health information during the online assessment, including medical history, current medications, allergies, pregnancy or breastfeeding status, prior medication reactions, and relevant personal or family health history.
Possible side effects may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, abdominal discomfort, appetite changes, or other symptoms. Serious side effects can occur. Patients should read all safety information, follow provider instructions, and seek medical care when needed.
Compounded medications are not FDA-approved and have not been evaluated by the FDA for safety, effectiveness, or quality. Compounded medications should be used only when prescribed by a licensed medical provider and when clinically appropriate for an individual patient’s needs.
“Compounded drugs are not FDA-approved. This means that FDA does not verify the safety, effectiveness or quality of compounded drugs before they are marketed.” — FDA
