Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am presently using compounded Semaglutide obtained from an online pharmacy for weight loss. I commenced this treatment three months ago and have successfully lost 25 pounds. However, I am now experiencing unusual symptoms, including intense stomach pain, persistent nausea, and some alterations in my vision. My local pharmacy has informed me that they are unable to verify the quality of the compound. My BMI remains at 41, and I am eager to continue my weight loss journey, but these side effects are concerning. What steps should I take?
Kindly help.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I read your query and can understand your concern.
Severe abdominal discomfort, ongoing nausea, and alterations in vision are alarming symptoms that may be associated with compounded Semaglutide. The quality and reliability of compounded medications can fluctuate, particularly when obtained from online pharmacies.
It is advisable to discontinue the medication right away and seek guidance from a healthcare professional at your earliest convenience. They can assess your symptoms, rule out any serious complications, and explore safer and more dependable weight loss alternatives.
I hope this information helps you.
Thank you.
