Speaking through a crackly intercom beneath a flickering roast-beef sign, representatives of SlimShotz Express MedSpa & Muffler Repair assured prospective telehealth patients Thursday that their unmarked vials of pinkish liquid were “basically the same” as the medication a pharmacy would dispense.
“Pull up to Window 2,” said founder Kyle DeVries, rinsing a Margaritaville blender. “$199. Venmo my cousin.”
Asked by a customer whether the compounding pharmacy was a state-licensed 503A facility, DeVries said it was “a facility.”
Asked whether the product was made from verified base semaglutide or a salt form, DeVries said it was “the good kind.”
Asked whether a third-party Certificate of Analysis was available, DeVries said it was in the back, then said the back was closed, then offered a free side of curly fries.
“If it stings a little,” he added, “that’s the B-12.”
At press time the customer had driven off without ordering, and DeVries had confirmed to the next car that the previous patient had been “a hater.”
