What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: Sub-potency in a compounded injectable medication creates a risk of harm—patients expecting full therapeutic effect will receive insufficient active ingredient. Although the source does not report illnesses or injuries, this qualifies as a 'risk-of-harm product where injury has not yet been reported,' matching Score 3 rubric criteria.
