What FDA cited
FDA's letter of February 20, 2026 cites MEDVi for false or misleading claims about the drugs it sells, under the subject line "False & Misleading Claims/Misbranded". The GLP-1 drugs it names: semaglutide and tirzepatide.
The compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide products displayed on your website identify “MEDVi” on the pictured label, suggesting MEDVi is the compounder of those drugs when in fact it is not. Accordingly, the representations on your website that MEDVi is the compounder of these drug products are false or misleading, and the products are therefore misbranded under sections 502(a) and 502(bb) of the FDCA [21 U.S.C. §§ 352(a) and (bb)].
How this letter sits against the other 159
Our reading, from the 160 letters on this register — not part of the FDA’s document.
The FDA issued 30 of the 160 letters on this register on the same day, February 20, 2026. This company was part of a sweep rather than singled out. That does not make the letter less serious, but it does mean the agency was acting against a practice across the market, not against one seller's conduct alone.
MEDVi is in this register and still selling: our record has it from $99 a month. A warning letter discloses a problem; it does not remove a seller from the market, and it has not removed this one.
A warning letter is the agency putting a company on notice, not a court finding and not a ban. What it is worth to you is in what it alleges, so read the original on fda.gov rather than the fact that one exists.
For how this charge fits the wider run of GLP-1 letters: What the FDA's GLP-1 warning letters say about this market.
FDA’s letter of February 20, 2026 to Newman Clinic also cites its recipient for false or misleading claims about the drugs it sells.
What FDA warning letters mean
It is the agency writing to a company to say it believes something that company is doing breaks the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act — usually a claim on a website, a labeling choice, or how a drug is being made. The company has about fifteen working days to write back.
Read carefully what it is not. It is not a recall, not a criminal charge, and not a court deciding anyone broke the law. It is the regulator opening a file. Companies frequently answer a letter, fix what was cited, and carry on trading, and when FDA accepts that it can issue a close-out letter. We do not track close-outs, so the presence of a letter on this page tells you what FDA said on one date — not where the matter stands today. Ask the company; they will usually tell you, and how they answer is informative in itself.
Across this market the same three citations recur: claiming a compounded product is equivalent to an approved one, labeling that misleads, and compounding from bulk substances FDA has not cleared under sections 503A and 503B. If you are reading a letter here, it is probably one of those.

Editorial Disclaimer
This is a public communication from a regulator, and by itself it settles nothing about whether the company broke any law. Corrective action is a common response, and a fair number of letters end in a close-out. Read the whole thing on fda.gov through the link above rather than taking our excerpt as the full picture.
