Regulatory status

Not FDA-approved as a weight-loss product; provided through compounding pharmacies. The lipotropic combination lacks FDA approval for fat loss.

Safety

Typically injection-site reactions, transient GI symptoms, or flushing; compounded product sterility/quality concerns. Weight-loss efficacy unproven.

Evidence
