A 54-year-old woman from North Carolina, Leslie Gammon, was hospitalized after experiencing severe side effects from a GLP-1 medication prescribed through a telehealth service. Gammon began using the medication during menopause to aid in weight loss but reported persistent vomiting after increasing her dosage as instructed by her provider. Dr. Fatima Syed, an associate professor at Duke University, noted that compounded GLP-1 drugs are not FDA-reviewed, unlike their brand-name counterparts. After injecting a lower dose than prescribed, Gammon suffered from an overdose, leading to a three-day hospital stay. She expressed concern over the prescription and acknowledged her own responsibility in understanding the medication. Gammon has since ceased using GLP-1 drugs and is seeking a response from the telehealth company regarding her hospital bills.
