When most individuals embark on a weight loss journey, the primary motivation is often to enhance their overall health, which can indeed lead to an improved quality of life and increased longevity. However, with the recent emergence of safe and effective medications designed to aid in weight loss and enhance cardiac, metabolic, and kidney health, a concerning trend has developed. Patients are being misled by advertisements on local advertising groups and unverified websites, prompting them to purchase purported GLP-1 injections from non-medical individuals and distributors. Please exercise caution, as these products are counterfeit and may contain untested molecules not even available in the USA yet. Moreover, these substances have not undergone testing or approval by SAPRA, the South African medical board responsible for registering medicines. Consequently, patients have no assurance regarding the composition, dosage, or efficacy of these products. In reality, they are risking their lives in an attempt to improve their health. It is essential to note that authentic, tested, and safe medications can only be accessed through a legitimate prescription from a medical doctor, dispensed by a licensed pharmacy.
If you want to loose weight safely, visit your doctor! (Below some info on some of this illegal injections)
