⚠️ Counterfeit Weight Loss Injections ⚠️
I’m sharing this post to raise awareness about the rise in counterfeit weight loss medications currently circulating.
Unfortunately, I’ve seen patients fall victim to this. These medications should only ever be prescribed by a qualified prescribing healthcare professional following a proper consultation. They should never be supplied “out the back” of a salon or by someone who is not medically licensed.
If someone is offering to sell or administer these injections and they are not a prescribing healthcare professional, please ask yourself:
How did they obtain this medication?
Prescription-only medicines cannot legally be sold on. If someone has obtained it under their own name and is selling it to you, that is illegal. In many cases, these products are counterfeit, sourced from unregulated and unsafe suppliers, and sold on for profit.
A lot of these pens look legitimate and have the exact branding as the original but these medications are not licensed, safe, or what they claim to be. I have personally seen patients become unwell and require hospital treatment after using counterfeit pens.
For clarity, I do not prescribe weight loss medications - this post is purely about patient safety and awareness.
Your health is not worth the risk. If you are considering weight loss treatment, please speak to a qualified medical professional.
