Frequently Asked Questions
What is compounded semaglutide?
Compounded semaglutide is a version made by compounding pharmacies during FDA-declared drug shortages. It contains the same active ingredient but is not FDA-approved as a finished product. It is typically much cheaper than brand-name Wegovy or Ozempic.
Is compounded semaglutide safe?
When sourced from licensed 503A or 503B compounding pharmacies, compounded semaglutide undergoes quality testing. However, it lacks the full FDA approval process of brand medications. The FDA has warned about risks from unregulated sources. Always verify your pharmacy's credentials.
