Is Lipodissolve FDA approved?
The FDA has not approved lipodissolve as a treatment for the removal of excess fat. However, the FDA approves drugs and devices, not procedures. The American Society of Aesthetic Lipodissolve maintains that there is no FDA approval requirement relative to phosphatidylcholine for two reasons. One, it is a “supplement” and as such has been used for years for liver health, cholesterol and other possible benefits. Supplements do not require FDA approval and can be administered by injection,(as are vitamins and minerals) Second, in Lipodissolve, the ingredients are mixed by a compounding pharmacist upon a physician’s order for specific patients, which does not require FDA approval (FDA Modernization Act Section 503a Compounding Pharmacy).
