FDA warns about lipodissolve productclaims

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is alerting consumers about false and misleading claims being made about products used in lipodissolve injections, also known as injection lipolysis, lipozap, lipotherapy and mesotherapy. The FDA states that these products are not approved by FDA for fat removal. In April 2010, FDA announced it had sent warning letters to six medical spas in the United States for making false or misleading statements on their web sites about drugs used in the procedure or for otherwise misbranding lipodissolve products. The spas made various unsupported claims about lipodissolve, such as assertions that the products are safe and effective, have an outstanding safety record, and are superior to other fat-loss procedures, including liposuction. Some of the letters indicate companies have made claims that lipodissolve can be used to treat certain medical conditions such as male breast enlargement, lipomas, excess fat deposits and surgical deformities. The companies were told that failure to promptly correct the violations may result in legal action. In addition, FDA has issued an import alert against two web sites marketing lipodissolve products, zipmed.net and mesoone.com, to prevent the importation and distribution of unapproved lipodissolve drug products into the United States. Importing and distributing unapproved drug products is a violation of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act. Health care professionals may report serious side effects with the use of lipodissolve products to FDA’s MedWatch Adverse Event Reporting Program online.
