Lipo-C Injection

Lipo-C Injection

Lipo-C (often formulated as a variation or enhancement of MIC) combines lipotropic compounds such as Methionine, Inositol, Choline, and additional supportive ingredients like L-Carnitine (commonly used together in injectable form to support fat metabolism and energy production). Lipo-C injections are compounded by MediVera Compounding Pharmacy™ based on prescriptions from licensed healthcare providers to meet individual patient needs when a commercially manufactured product is unavailable or unsuitable.

We prepare Lipo-C formulations in accordance with USP guidelines and using high-quality active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) from FDA-registered suppliers.

Lipo-C Injection FAQ

Lipo-C is a compounded injectable formulation combining lipotropic agents (such as methionine, choline, and carnitine) along with other components (e.g., dexpanthenol as a source of pantothenic acid).

These ingredients play roles in various metabolic processes:

  • Methionine: An essential amino acid involved in protein synthesis and the production of other compounds.
  • Choline: An essential nutrient that supports lipid transport and liver function.
  • Carnitine: Derived from amino acids and involved in fatty acid transport for energy production.
  • Dexpanthenol: A form of pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) that contributes to coenzyme A synthesis.

In compounding, Lipo-C may be prepared as a sterile injectable when a licensed healthcare provider determines a patient-specific need not met by commercially available products (e.g., custom strength, dosage form, or allergen considerations) and issues a valid prescription.

The ingredients of Lipo-C are available in oral supplement form, but some providers may prescribe compounded Lipo-C injections when they determine that an injectable route is more appropriate for an individual patient’s needs. Injection allows for more absorption than in the gastrointestinal tract. The decision of what form to use should always be made by a healthcare provider.

Compounded Lipo-C may be administered by subcutaneous or intramuscular injection. The dosing schedule is typically once or twice a week, as recommended by your healthcare provider.

Most insurance plans do not cover compounded medications made from bulk drug substances, including compounded Lipo-C. Patients should confirm coverage directly with their insurance provider.

Possible side effects of Lipo-C include:

  • Injection site discomfort, swelling, redness, or nodules
  • Nausea
  • Diarrhea
  • Dizziness
  • Fishy body odor
  • Headache

Contact your prescriber if you notice persistent or severe reactions, especially at the injection site.

Compounded Lipo-C should be stored in the fridge from 36°F to 46°F.

Lipo-C preparations generally have a beyond-use date of about 30 days from the date dispensed. Always check your prescription label for the exact date.

Small needles are used for administration. Some patients may experience mild discomfort at the injection site, though tolerance varies by individual.

Response to compounded Lipo-C varies among patients. Your healthcare provider will monitor progress and make any necessary adjustments to therapy.
