Reputable Compounded GLP-1 Programs
Here are some well-regarded options, keeping in mind this space changes quickly due to FDA regulations:
Telehealth Platforms with Compounded GLP-1s

Important Caveats to Consider
- FDA status: The FDA has declared the semaglutide shortage over, meaning compounded semaglutide is in a legal gray area as of 2024-2025. Tirzepatide compounding rules also continue to evolve
- Verify the pharmacy: Look for 503B outsourcing facilities or 503A pharmacies with good standing
- Avoid sketchy online sellers offering GLP-1s without a real prescriber consultation
My Honest Recommendation
Consult your primary care doctor or an obesity medicine specialist first — they can prescribe brand-name versions and help navigate insurance coverage, which is often the safest route.
