The FDA has warned the public of the dangers associated with the use of injectable glutathione for skin lightening. | NAMercadoINQ

Further, the FDA noted that if the treatment is done by a non-medical practitioner in a non-sterile facility, it may result in the transmission of infectious agents such as HIV and Hepatitis B and C.

“Also of concern is the possibility of Stevens Johnson Syndrome. Injectable glutathione is sometimes paired with intravenous Vitamin C. Vitamin C injection may form kidney stones if the urine is acidic. Large doses of Vitamin C have resulted in hemodialysis in patients with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency,” the FDA said.

“Given that glutathione affects the production of melanin — there are theoretical concerns about the long term skin cancer risk,” it added.
