Administering specific injectable compounds, with the goal of supporting weight management, in a non-clinical setting constitutes the practice explored herein. This usually involves subcutaneous or intramuscular injections. An example would be the self-administration of a compounded medication intended to promote fat loss.
The appeal of this practice lies in the potential for convenience and cost savings. Historically, weight management strategies have been clinic-based. The option to administer treatments in a private residence can provide a sense of control. However, accessibility needs to be carefully weighed against the potential risks associated with non-professional administration and unregulated compounding practices.
