Compounded medications are not FDA-approved, are not evaluated by the FDA for safety, effectiveness or quality, and are not equivalent to the branded drug beyond sharing an active ingredient. GLP-1 medications commonly cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea and constipation, and carry risks including pancreatitis, gallbladder disease and kidney injury; they are contraindicated in people with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or MEN 2, and should not be used in pregnancy, when trying to conceive, or while breastfeeding. Prescribing is subject to clinician approval and is never guaranteed. Individual results vary and no outcome is promised.
