Your Safety, Our Priority
Clear, honest information about your treatment, how it works, and what to keep in mind along the way.
At Momentum Health 360, real care means being clear and honest with you about your treatment, how it works, and what to keep in mind along the way. We’ve written this page in plain language so you can feel informed and confident every step of the way. Your provider is always here to answer questions, and so is our care team.
Compounded medications
Understanding Compounded Medications
Some of the treatments offered through Momentum Health 360 are compounded medications. Compounding is a long-established and legal part of pharmacy practice: a state-licensed compounding pharmacy prepares a medication based on a prescription written specifically for you by a licensed provider.
Because they are prepared this way, compounded medications are not FDA-approved. This means the FDA has not reviewed these particular formulations for safety, effectiveness, or quality the way it reviews mass-produced, brand-name drugs. It does not mean the medication is unregulated. The pharmacies we work with are licensed and overseen by their state boards of pharmacy, and every prescription is reviewed and issued by a licensed provider.
What this means for you: you’re never on your own. A licensed provider reviews your health history before anything is prescribed, and if a treatment isn’t the right fit for you, they’ll tell you. That’s the whole point of having real clinicians involved.
Safety information
Important Safety Information
Every medication, brand-name or compounded, has benefits and things to be aware of. The information below is here so you and your provider can make the safest choice together. During your consultation, your provider will review anything that applies to you personally, and you can reach our care team anytime with questions.
GLP-1 medications (Semaglutide, Tirzepatide, Liraglutide)
These medications support appetite regulation and metabolic health, and they’re prescribed only after a provider confirms they’re appropriate for you.
Boxed warning (thyroid): These medications carry a boxed warning, the FDA’s most prominent type of warning, about a possible risk of thyroid tumors, including a form of thyroid cancer, based on animal studies. As a precaution, they are not recommended if you or a close family member has had medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) or a condition called Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2). Your provider will ask about this during screening.
Most common effects: The most common side effects are digestive: nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, or stomach discomfort. For most people these are mild and tend to ease over time as the body adjusts, especially when starting at a low dose.
Less common but important: Contact a provider or seek care if you experience severe or lasting stomach pain (possible pancreatitis), gallbladder symptoms, signs of dehydration, or, if you also take other diabetes medications, symptoms of low blood sugar.
Pregnancy & breastfeeding: These medications are not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Let your provider know if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.
Methylene Blue
Methylene blue can interact with antidepressants (SSRIs and SNRIs) and other medicines or supplements that affect serotonin, which can lead to a serious reaction called serotonin syndrome. It’s important to tell your provider about every medication and supplement you take.
It is also not suitable for people with G6PD deficiency or during pregnancy. Your provider screens for this at intake.
Low-Dose Naltrexone (LDN)
LDN works on the body’s opioid receptors. If you take opioid pain medication, you should not start LDN without telling your provider, as it can reduce pain relief or cause withdrawal symptoms. Your provider will ask about this before prescribing.
Low-dose use of naltrexone is considered off-label, meaning it’s prescribed based on clinical judgment rather than a specific FDA-approved use at this dose.
Spironolactone
Spironolactone should not be used during pregnancy.
It can raise potassium levels, so tell your provider if you take blood pressure medications (ACE inhibitors or ARBs), potassium supplements, or regular anti-inflammatory painkillers (NSAIDs). Your provider may recommend simple monitoring.
For all treatments
This page does not list every possible side effect or interaction. The safest thing you can do is share your full health history, medications, and supplements with your provider. That’s exactly what allows them to personalize your care and flag anything before it becomes a concern.
