Lipo Injection (Methionine / Choline Chloride) (30 mL Vial)

Lipo Injections are injectable treatments often used for fat loss or body contouring. They typically contain a combination of amino acids, vitamins, and lipotropic compounds like phosphatidylcholine, inositol, and methionine, which are believed to support fat breakdown. These injections are often marketed as weight loss aids, although their effectiveness is debated.

Mechanism of Action
The active ingredients help mobilize fat stores and enhance liver function, which aids in the natural elimination of fat. The compounds also help improve metabolism and detoxification.

Interactions
Diuretics may increase the risk of dehydration

Adverse Reactions / Side Effects
Common: Swelling, redness, bruising at the injection site, nausea
Serious: Liver issues, allergic reactions, or infection at the injection site

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding
Pregnancy: Not recommended
Breastfeeding: Consult a doctor before use
