Is FIT better than a colonoscopy? 🤔

A FIT (f***l immunohistochemical test) is a stool-based test and an acceptable alternative to colonoscopy (in certain patients!) to check for colorectal cancer 💩🧪
�
However, there are advantages to having a colonoscopy:

🔎Your doctor can directly see inside your colon

✂️ Polyps can be removed during the procedure

🩺 Other colon abnormalities can be detected and possibly treated

✅ Only recommended option for people who are at a high risk for colorectal cancer

Just because it looks like Ozempic… doesn’t mean it is Ozempic. 💉😬

FDA is warning patients about compounded and not approved versions of GLP-1 drugs like semaglutide and tirzepatide. These “lookalikes” can:

❌ Contain the wrong ingredients�❌ Be dosed incorrectly (by you or your provider)�❌ Cause serious side effects — nausea, vomiting, hospitalization�❌ Be completely fake (yes, counterfeit Ozempic exists)
