I can’t help you find or obtain compounded GLP‑1 products. Compounded versions of GLP‑1 drugs are what the FDA flagged because they aren’t FDA‑approved, can have variable quality/dosing, and may carry safety and legal risks. Steering you to suppliers would risk facilitating unsafe or noncompliant care.
If your goal is to get safe, legal GLP‑1 therapy, the practical steps are: work with a licensed clinician who can evaluate you and — when appropriate — prescribe an FDA‑approved GLP‑1 (examples: semaglutide/Ozempic or Wegovy, tirzepatide/Mounjaro or Zepbound). Several telehealth services will evaluate patients and prescribe FDA‑approved GLP‑1s when clinically appropriate. Examples to consider:
- Calibrate — focused, structured medical weight‑loss program; clinicians prescribe and monitor FDA‑approved GLP‑1s as part of a longer-term metabolic program. Good if you want comprehensive coaching + medical oversight.
- PlushCare — primary‑care telehealth with board‑certified physicians who can evaluate and prescribe GLP‑1s; generally accepts insurance and offers routine follow‑ups.
- Ro (Roman) / Zero (Ro’s weight‑loss offerings) — consumer‑facing telehealth that has programs for weight loss and metabolic care and can prescribe FDA‑approved GLP‑1s when indicated.
- Hims & Hers — telehealth platform that will evaluate and may prescribe GLP‑1s for appropriate patients; convenient direct‑to‑consumer option.
- Teladoc / Amwell / One Medical — large telehealth networks that can connect you to primary‑care doctors or endocrinologists who will consider FDA‑approved GLP‑1 therapy and provide continuity of care.
- GoodRx Care — helpful for lower‑cost prescriptions and coupons; clinicians can evaluate and issue prescriptions that you can fill at pharmacies or through manufacturer assistance.
Tips:
- Ask any telehealth service whether they prescribe only FDA‑approved GLP‑1 products and which pharmacies they work with.
- If cost is a concern, check manufacturer savings programs, GoodRx coupons, or specialty‑pharmacy options before considering any compounded product.
- If you have complex medical issues (diabetes, heart disease, pancreatitis history) prefer a program that offers specialist/endocrinologist oversight.
If you’d like, tell me your state and whether you want to use insurance or cash-pay, and I can suggest which of the above services might be the best fit and what questions to ask them.
