Verbatim response from Claude
Reputable Compounded GLP-1 Programs
Here are some well-regarded options, though this space changes quickly:
Telehealth Platforms with Compounded GLP-1s
Hims & Hers
- Large, established telehealth company with physician oversight
- Transparent about compounding pharmacy partnerships
LifeMD / Rex MD
- Publicly traded company with medical accountability
- Structured clinical protocols
Ro (Roman)
- Strong reputation for medical legitimacy
- Clear prescribing standards
Noom Med
- Combines medication with behavioral coaching
- Evidence-based approach
Key Things to Look For
- 503B-accredited compounding pharmacies (FDA-registered, higher standards)
- Actual physician/NP oversight (not just rubber-stamp approvals)
- Third-party testing of compounds
- Transparent ingredient disclosure (semaglutide vs. semaglutide sodium or acetate - the latter are unproven forms)
Important Caveats
- The FDA has stated compounded semaglutide from 503A pharmacies may no longer be legal now that shortage listings have been updated
- Always verify current legal status before purchasing
- Brand-name options (Ozempic, Wegovy, Zepbound) are safer when affordable
