Abstract

Unscrupulous manufacturers provide consumers with ways to circumvent access controls by purchasing drug products outside the legitimate prescription drug supply chain. Manufacturers are selling vials containing semaglutide and tirzepatide to consumers without a prescription for “research purposes only” and/or “not for human consumption,” but frequently without the supplies and knowledge they would need to dissolve the active ingredient, draw it up into a syringe, and inject it into the body. Avoiding prescribers allows consumer access to products where the risk may outweigh the benefits and quality standards may not be met. It also makes it difficult to prevent drug interactions or perform adequate patient monitoring and follow-up.
绕过处方医生和药剂师:出于研究目的 "在线购买塞马鲁肽和替西帕肽
不法制造商为消费者提供了在合法处方药供应链之外购买药品以规避准入控制的途径。制造商在没有处方的情况下,以 "仅供研究 "和/或 "非人用 "为由向消费者出售含有塞马鲁肽和替齐帕肽的小瓶装药物,但消费者往往没有溶解活性成分、将其注入注射器并注射到体内所需的用品和知识。避开处方医生的做法使消费者有机会获得风险可能大于益处、质量标准可能不达标的产品。这种做法也很难防止药物相互作用或对患者进行适当的监测和跟踪。
