Important Regulatory Note:
Lipo-C is a compounded injectable supplement and is not FDA-approved. It is prepared by licensed compounding pharmacies and prescribed off-label under the guidance of a healthcare provider. These formulations have not been evaluated by the FDA for safety, efficacy, or manufacturing standards.

Intended Use:
Lipo-C injections are typically used to support metabolism, energy production, fat burning, and liver detoxification. They are often included in medical weight loss or anti-aging programs and may help optimize the body’s ability to metabolize fat through lipotropic agents and vitamin support.

Typical Ingredients:
Lipo-C formulations vary but commonly include:

• Methionine
• Inositol
• Choline
• Vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin or methylcobalamin)
  Other ingredients may include L-carnitine or B-complex vitamins.
  
  

Contraindications:
Do not use Lipo-C injections if:

• You are allergic to any component of the formulation (e.g., methionine, inositol, choline, or B12)
• You have Leber’s disease (a hereditary eye disorder) or a known sensitivity to cyanocobalamin
• You are pregnant or breastfeeding unless cleared by your provider
• You have severe liver or kidney disease not managed by a specialist
  
  

Warnings & Serious Risks:

• Allergic reactions: Rare but may include itching, rash, swelling, or anaphylaxis
• B12 overdose in susceptible individuals: May cause acne-like skin breakouts, dizziness, or nervousness
• Methionine toxicity (rare): Excessive dosing may increase homocysteine levels, impacting cardiovascular health
• Inositol sensitivity: High doses may cause gastrointestinal upset or dizziness
  
  

Common Side Effects:

• Mild pain, redness, or swelling at injection site
• Headache
• Nausea
• Lightheadedness
• Temporary fatigue or flushing

These are generally mild and resolve on their own.

Drug Interactions:

• May interact with levodopa, methotrexate, or chloramphenicol
• B12 absorption may be impaired in individuals taking proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) or metformin
• Always disclose all medications and supplements to your provider

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding:
Not recommended without provider supervision due to limited safety data on specific ingredient combinations in pregnant or breastfeeding populations.

Administration:
Inject intramuscularly (IM) or subcutaneously (SubQ) as directed by your provider. Rotate injection sites to avoid irritation. Do not exceed the prescribed frequency or dose.

Storage:
Store refrigerated (36°F to 46°F / 2°C to 8°C) unless otherwise directed by your pharmacy. Protect from light. Do not freeze.

Emergency Situations:
Seek immediate care for any signs of allergic reaction, rapid heartbeat, or unusual symptoms after injection. Call 911 in the event of a severe or life-threatening response.
