This letter is to advise you that the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) reviewed your website content at the internet address https://healthymale.com in August 2025 and has observed that your website offers various compounded drug products, including tirzepatide.1 As described below, your claims concerning compounded tirzepatide products are false or misleading under sections 502(a) and 502(bb) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FDCA) [21 U.S.C. §§ 352(a) and 352(bb)], resulting in products being introduced or delivered for introduction into interstate commerce in violation of section 301(a) of the FDCA [21 U.S.C. § 331(a)].
Under section 502(a) of the FDCA [21 U.S.C. § 352(a)] a drug is misbranded if its labeling is false or misleading in any particular. Furthermore, under section 502(bb) of the FDCA [21 U.S.C. § 352(bb)], a compounded drug is misbranded if its advertising or promotion is false or misleading in any particular.
• “Clinically shown to support 15-22% average body weight reduction.”• “Clinically proven medications and compounds for sustainable weight management”• “Clinically proven to deliver sustainable results….”
Compounded drug products are not FDA-approved. Your claims imply that your products are the same as an FDA-approved product when they are not. As a result, these claims are false or misleading and your products are therefore misbranded under sections 502(a) and 502(bb) of the FDCA [21 U.S.C. §§ 352(a) and (bb)].
The introduction or delivery for introduction into interstate commerce of these misbranded products is a prohibited act under section 301(a) of the FDCA [21 U.S.C. § 331(a)]. The claims identified in this letter put you on notice of our concerns but do not represent an exhaustive list of misbranding violations.2
For the reasons discussed above, your compounded tirzepatide products are misbranded drugs under sections 502(a) and 502(bb) of the FDCA [21 U.S.C. §§ 352(a) and 352(bb)], introduced or delivered for introduction into interstate commerce in violation of section 301(a) of the FDCA [21 U.S.C. § 331(a)]. Please be advised, the receipt in interstate commerce of misbranded drugs, and the delivery or proffered delivery thereof, is also a violation of section 301(c) of the FDCA [21 U.S.C. § 331(c)].
As previously stated, the violations cited in this letter are not intended to be an all-inclusive statement of violations that may exist in connection with your products. You are responsible for investigating and determining the causes of any violations and for preventing their recurrence or the occurrence of other violations. It is your responsibility to ensure that your operations comply with all requirements of federal law, including FDA regulations.
You should take immediate action to address any violations (including, for example, ceasing and desisting from using the language cited above that misbrands the product). Failure to adequately address any violations may result in legal action without further notice, including, without limitation, seizure and injunction.

What FDA warning letters mean
A warning letter is FDA's principal means of telling a company that the agency considers something it's doing — a marketing claim, a manufacturing practice, a labeling choice — to violate the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. Companies typically have 15 working days to respond.
A warning letter is not a recall, a criminal charge, or a finding that the company has broken the law. It is the start of a regulatory conversation. FDA may issue a close-out letter once it is satisfied that the company has corrected the cited issues.
For compounded GLP-1 telehealth providers, the most common citations involve unapproved new drug claims, misbranding, and the use of bulk drug substances not on FDA's approved list under FDCA sections 503A and 503B.

Editorial Disclaimer
FDA warning letters are public regulatory communications and do not, on their own, indicate that a company has done anything illegal. Companies often respond to warning letters with corrective action, and many letters are eventually closed out. The full text of this letter is available on fda.gov via the link above.
