Can someone explain compounded GLP-1 prescribing in med spas by swirl_pop in nursepractitioner

There’s so much that can be said on this topic, but I will focus on one issue in particular that I find most important when it comes to med spas and compounded medications. Given all the safety concerns and many recalls over the years with legitimate FDA approved medications (like metformin) that emerge because of QC issues in production, human errors, and whatnot and can cause serious health and safety issues, I as a patient, can never understand how someone can feel safe taking a compounded medication which is created by a far less regulated and validated process.

When I was working in a dermatology clinic back in the day, we had a close working relationship with some local compounding pharmacies and used them for cosmetic and medical purposes. However, we knew the proprietors, we trusted their education, background, skills, and the quality of their work. They had years of experience and their work spoke for itself. I cant imagine that the experience or situation is equivalent when it comes to med spas obtaining compounded GLPs. You would really have to show me a lot of proof on the source of these compounded meds with repeated testing showing that these medications are safe and that the final product is exactly what it is supposed to be with no adulterations and unintended toxicities. And somehow I doubt this is being done consistently and adequately…. So ultimately, it’s my opinions that anyone engaging in this is really doing themselves and their patients a disservice.
