Ask what was approved

• Ask for the exact finished product and the condition named in its label.
• Ask to see the label, the official document describing that product and its uses.
• Keep claims about the clinic apart from claims about the medicine.

FDA approval means the agency has reviewed evidence for a specific product and a named use.

Semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy) is an example with US approvals recorded on September 26, 2026; the products do not all share the same uses.

• If someone points to a drug code, ask where the product approval is recorded.
• If someone points to a facility registration, ask what that registration actually establishes.

A National Drug Code is an identifying number in FDA’s drug list. A listing there gives you no proof of product approval, as checked September 26, 2026.

A facility’s FDA registration also does not confer approval on its products, under the position recorded September 26, 2026.

An office offering health care does not receive FDA approval.

• Ask the person proposing the medicine to write down its name and the reason for using it.
• If the terms keep changing during the answer, ask for them again in everyday words.
