GLP-1 gave me a pulmonary embolism and Nuform won’t take accountability
Nuform blocked my account on Facebook after I commented on a post regarding GLP-1 and I am going to post what I had to say here and everywhere I possibly can. Nuform should not be giving people compounded semaglutide. It is not even FDA approved and it’s caused severe problems for many people, such as myself. Let me say it’s not JUST Nuform that is doing this, there are a lot of online companies that are doing it and it’s really scary. Compounded semaglutide is NOT Ozempic or any of the other name brand FDA approved medications. They will tell you that it is, but it is NOT. I am reviewing on here because I got the compounded semaglutide from Nuform directly. After five weeks of injections I experienced excruciating pain and was rushed to the emergency room. I was diagnosed with a pulmonary embolism (blood clot in my lung) and it has really took a toll on my life. After I was diagnosed and reached out to Nuform I was told by Alex who works for Nuform that the provider said I was fine to continue the injections knowing my condition and knowing it is not FDA approved. I have experienced so much pain, stress, and anxiety from the pulmonary embolism I developed after taking compounded semaglutide. Nuform refunded me for what I paid for the GLP-1 but that doesn’t compensate me for what I am having to endure. I am a mother to five kids and I have to be healthy and okay for them. This situation has been such a nightmare for me. I have to take Eliquis now and my lifestyle had to change drastically. For anyone that is considering compounded semaglutide, please do your own research and don’t just take the word of an online company. Even doctors will tell you that it’s not safe. My doctor told me to stop the injections immediately and Nuform health told me to continue. I am absolutely appalled that they don’t care about the safety and health of people like they claim. They might have other services that help people, but the GLP-1 does more harm than good. Think of it this way, if it sounds too good to be true, then it is. These online companies sell it cheap for a reason. And people are buying it because it sounds like a good deal. It’s not the same thing as the real FDA approved drugs and people need to know this. I will make sure I continue to share my experience in any way I can and these companies needs to take accountability.
