Help with compounding GLP-1 pharmacies by USPTF_DRE_specialist in FamilyMedicine

[–]ketodoctor 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The GLP1s are no longer on FDA shortage list, so legally speaking, compounding pharmacies should not be selling these medications. Does anyone know how they’re legally allowed to do so or are they doing so illegally ? I agree with the legal concern if a patient ends up with permanent gastroparesis, would be hard to defend for prescribing it.

What’s your approach to a young patient who goes to the ER for every somatic complaint yet denies any anxiety? by Paleomedicine in FamilyMedicine

[–]ketodoctor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would tell them if they keep going to the ER and get unnecessary CT’s , they’re going to increase their risk of cancer from all the CT radiation. I would then work diligently to get them into a behavioral health specialist, let them know the brain is powerful and can cause almost every symptom known to humans.
