My compounded semaglutide provider shut down. Where should I move my treatment?

Options for Continuing Your Semaglutide Treatment

Here are your best options right now:

FDA-Approved Brand Name Options

• Wegovy (for weight loss) or Ozempic (for diabetes) - the original Novo Nordisk products. Ask your doctor about manufacturer savings cards that can reduce costs significantly.

Telehealth Platforms Still Offering Semaglutide

• Hims & Hers - offers branded semaglutide and has been transparent about adapting to FDA guidance
• Noom Med - combines medication with behavioral coaching
• Ro (Body) - offers weight management programs with GLP-1 support
• LifeMD - provides ongoing medical supervision

Important Things to Consider

• The FDA has ended the shortage designation for semaglutide, meaning most compounded versions are no longer legally available
• Prioritize providers that use licensed physicians for oversight
• Confirm they're prescribing FDA-approved products going forward
• Check if your insurance covers Wegovy - coverage has been expanding

Practical Next Steps

1. Contact your current doctor or a new telehealth provider
2. Ask about manufacturer patient assistance programs if cost is a concern
3. Bring your dosing history to ensure continuity
