Important safety information
Glutathione injection is a compounded medication. Compounded medications are not FDA approved, and the FDA does not review them for safety, effectiveness or quality. There is no FDA-approved glutathione injection, and glutathione injections have not been tested in large randomized clinical trials.
On August 27, 2026, the FDA warned compounders not to use dietary supplement grade glutathione to make injectable drugs. It reported at least 30 patients with fever, chills, pain, dizziness, signs of shock and sepsis-like symptoms after IV glutathione, some of whom were hospitalized.

Soreness, redness or bruising can happen where you inject. Tell your provider about every medication and supplement you take, asthma, any liver or kidney condition, any past reaction to an injection, and if you are pregnant, breastfeeding or planning to become pregnant. Get medical help right away for fever or chills after an injection, trouble breathing, or swelling of your face, lips or throat. Use a new sterile needle and syringe each time and put used needles in a sharps container.
