Compounded GLP-1 drugs creating concern among doctors and FDA
The growing availability of compounded GLP-1 weight-loss drugs has prompted warnings from doctors and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration due to concerns over safety and effectiveness. Compounded versions of these drugs have not been proven to be safe or consistently manufactured, and may contain additional ingredients or alternative forms of the active drug. The FDA has issued warning letters to telehealth companies over false or misleading claims about these medications, and experts advise against their use due to potential problems.
