Why Your Injectable Semaglutide May Be Pink or Red

Why Your Injectable Semaglutide May Be Pink or Red

  1. Our partner pharmacies add a small amount of Vitamin B12 (Cyanocobalamin) to your compounded injectable Semaglutide
  2. Cyanocobalamin naturally contains cobalt, which gives the medication its pink to reddish tint.
  3. This color is expected and completely normal. It does not impact the safety, stability, or effectiveness of your medication.
If you're interested in learning more about the B12 included in your medication, you can also review our Vitamin B12 information article, which explains why it’s added and what to expect.
