Medvi vs Skinny.Rx

Regulatory noticeRegulatory note (verified August 22, 2026): On February 20, 2026 the FDA issued MEDVi, LLC a warning letter (MARCS-CMS 721455) citing misbranding under sections 502(a) and 502(bb) of the FD&C Act. Reviewing medvi.io in December 2025, the FDA said labels bearing "MEDVi" implied MEDVi compounds the drugs when it does not, and that "Same active ingredient as Wegovy and Ozempic" and "Same active ingredient as Mounjaro and Zepbound" implied an FDA approval compounded drugs do not have. We found no close-out letter, so the matter appears open. MEDVi states medvi.io is affiliate-operated rather than company-operated; we could not verify that, and the letter is addressed to MEDVi, LLC. Read the FDA letter

Regulatory noticeRegulatory note (verified August 22, 2026): Skinny.Rx operates as SkinnyRx, but the legal entity is Lean Rx, Inc., and that is the name on FDA warning letter MARCS-CMS 717989, dated February 20, 2026. Following a December 2025 review of skinnyrx.com, the agency objected to the "SkinnyRx" name on pictured labels, saying it implies SkinnyRx compounds the drugs itself, and to three marketing lines, including "Get access to the same active ingredient as name-brand GLP-1 medications" and "It contains the same active ingredient as FDA-approved medications." Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide are not FDA-approved, so the FDA read those lines as implying an approval that does not exist and classed the products as misbranded. No close-out letter is posted; read the matter as unresolved. Read the FDA letter
