- Several of our products come as a powder form with another bottle with sterile water. Please read the directions provided in the prescription for exact details. However, generally several MLs of sterile water will be drawn out of the sterile water vial and injected into the powder vial. The powder will dissolve quickly. Gently stir the vial few times to ensure full resolution of powder and wait at least 10 mins prior to injection.
- Most products will be needed to be refrigerated.
- IM: (Intra-Muscular) means you are injecting into the muscle. Pick an area that is highly muscular such as thigh, buttocks, or deltoids (shoulders) to inject. These needles are generally longer to reach into the muscle
- SQ: (subcutaneous) means you are injecting just under the skin, into fat. Find a fatty area or loose skin likely around the stomach region to inject. These needles tend to be smaller.
Before injection, make sure you thoroughly clean the area of the skin that will be injected along with the top of the vial where you are drawing medicine from.
Potentially the site of injecting can become inflamed for the day – a very common side effect. Welts are common. Please be cognizant of moving site injections around not to developing scarring at one location.
- Glutathione and NAD+ have published reports on improving post-viral symptoms. Injected these medications will get you back to your baseline quicker.
- Glutathione also has antioxidative properties to improve your immune system to help prevent catching these viruses.
- High doses can lead to pancreatitis – nausea, vomiting, severe abdominal pain should be evaluated by a physician immediately and medications should be stopped
- Hypoglycemia potential can occur – please avoid other diabetic medications and heavy use of alcohol
- Semaglutide can also cause muscle loss while helping with fat loss. It is imperative when you start dropping food intake that the protein intake remains high. Continue with your workout regimen of weights and cardio as well. Dropping muscle mass will lead to decrease in basal metabolism and that can stunt overall health.
Most common side effect is a histamine-like reaction including: lightheadedness, palpitations, flushing, and nausea. This is usually self-limited and will resolve very shortly.
Products
Below are some common questions about our product's processes. For more FAQ questions pertaining to specific products, please visit the product page's.
Most of our medications are made by compounding pharmacies when we submit your order/prescription. This usually takes the pharmacies 5-10 business days before they dispense the prescriptions. Once they do, then they create a shipping label. The moment the shipping label is created, you will receive tracking information directly from UPS/FedEd/USPS.
Contact us at cs@getfitmed.comand we can set up a telemedicine conference or a phone call.
We only require a membership for our Hormone Replacement Therapies. All other products can be purchased without it. However, we recommend having a membership or doing a consultation with our staff to better serve your health needs and maximize your results.
- Alcohol should be kept in complete moderation as it is detrimental to health in larger doses.
- Semaglutide especially is susceptible to alcohol intake. Quicker intoxications and alcohol aversions are common. More serious complications can include hypoglycemia and pancreatitis (both Semaglutide and alcohol can cause these alone, combining them increases the chances). If possible, avoid alcohol while on Semaglutide.
- We do not treat anyone under the age of 18 and we do not treat anyone pregnant or breastfeeding.
- Hormone replacement therapy is more exclusive and extensive medical history is first obtained to determine who can qualify.
- People with sulfa allergies should be careful, and potentially avoid glutathione injections.
- If any allergic reactions do occur – symptoms include but not limited to flushing, hives, nausea/vomiting, lightheadedness, swelling, throat itchiness – please stop the offending agent. Immediately take Benadryl if available and contact your nearest medical support.
