Compounded semaglutide is an alternative to brand name GLP-1 medications, such as Wegovy and Ozempic, when these commercial medications are listed on the FDA’s drug shortage list. This post explains our partnership and provides details about what you can expect moving forward.
What is compounded semaglutide?
Compounding refers to the process of combining or altering two or more drugs to create a personalized medication that is tailored to the needs of an individual patient. It is a common practice designed to help individual patients receive the medications they need.
Semaglutide is the active ingredient in brand name GLP-1 medications Wegovy and Ozempic. Because these medications are currently on the FDA drug shortage list, licensed compounding pharmacies are able to offer compounded semaglutide in order to expand patient access. Compounded medications are not FDA approved.
How does it work if I choose to move forward?
If you choose to move forward, your medication will ship directly to you. You will receive your medication along with instructions on how to store and take your medication properly and safely. It is important to read these instructions carefully before using your medication.
As with any medication, there are always health risks and potential side effects. It is important to consult with your physician before taking your medication.
