Compounded semaglutide is not without its risks. It is not FDA approved, and in fact, the FDA has warned about shady pharmacies taking shortcuts in production. “Patients should be aware that some products sold as ‘semaglutide’ may not contain the same active ingredient as FDA-approved semaglutide products and may be the salt formulations. Products containing these salts, such as semaglutide sodium and semaglutide acetate, have not been shown to be safe and effective.” FDA Source: https://www.fda.gov/drugs/postmarket-drug-safety-information-patients-and-providers/medications-containing-semaglutide-marketed-type-2-diabetes-or-weight-loss

ABOUT ME: My name is Shelly and I’m a 49-year-old web geek that jumped off the deep end into the makeup and beauty world. I’ve got normal to dry skin, fine lines, and hyperpigmentation caused by sun damage. Cameo appearances by my rescue cats Daffy, Ziva, and Charlie (all girls). Rest in peace, my pretty girl Polly 2014 – 2024.
I purchase most products shown on my channel myself. Occasionally I receive PR, products that were gifted to me with no obligations to review them, which I state verbally when applicable. I was not paid by any product provider to make this video. Paid product placements will always be indicated in writing and verbally; I rarely do them. All opinions are honest and my own.
