FDA cracking down on spa use of fat-melting injections
The Food and Drug Administration is cracking down on fat-melting injections used in spas across the U.S., saying the drugs have not been proven safe or effective. That’s kinda funny considering all of the drugs they are ok with that harm people, but that’s another story.
Lipodissolve injections are a popular nonsurgical alternative to liposuction. They are used to dissolve small fat deposits around the legs, arms and belly. The FDA said Wednesday thatthe drugs have not been cleared by federal scientists, as required by law, so they issued warning letters to a half-dozen spas that offer the injections, citing them for making unsubstantiated claims about lipodissolve therapy.
“The claims made for your lipodissolve products are false and misleading in that they are not supported by substantial evidence or substantial clinical experience,” states a letter to All About You Medspa in Madison, Ind.
Such is our FDA. I agree with them about this, don’t get me wrong. It’s just that they are hypocrites. They have their favorites who they are in bed with, no matter how many people get hurt, while they will go after others who they are not in bed with. Some consistency would actually save lives from the from that kill us regularly.
