FDA warnings about adverse reactions to GLP1s due to common errors

The discussion is about misdosing compounded medications and how this leads to adverse events. Ultimately, compliance is about being able to stay on a program for the long term benefits of weight loss, while managing the short term side effects. Not following protocol, or inexperienced providers, or errors in self medication can lead to challenges, even hospitalization in some cases (300+ reported cases). So, if you're going to use GLP1s do it safely, and with under the guidance of a professional. Do not go to medspas that promise low prices, only to supply you with badly dosed vials that are incorrectly administered.
