Which phrases sound stronger than they are?
Sales pages often show seals or phrases such as “FDA registered.” Look at exactly what is registered: a registered business, a licensed person and an approved medicine are three different things.
What does the phrase leave unanswered?
“Generic”
A copy of which approved brand?
As of September 2026, approved generics that are allowed to be sold exist for liraglutide, but not for semaglutide or tirzepatide.
“Made by a pharmacy”
Which pharmacy and which state record?
A pharmacy-made compound is not turned into an approved product by the pharmacy's own registration.
What is the quick test for a claim?
Ask what official record would prove it, then search that record yourself. For a claim about a clinician, search the person's name on the state medical board website. For a claim about a pharmacy, search its name on the state board of pharmacy website. For a claim about a medicine, search the product name on DailyMed, the government library of official medicine labels.
If the only proof is a seal or logo on the same sales page, the check is not finished.
