Compounded GLP-1 Providers Using Licensed US Pharmacies
Here are some well-known providers that work with FDA-registered, state-licensed US compounding pharmacies:
Telehealth + Pharmacy Partners
- Hims & Hers – Uses licensed compounding pharmacies; offers semaglutide compounds with physician oversight
- Ro (Body Program) – Partners with 503B outsourcing facilities, which have higher FDA oversight standards
- Mochi Health – Works with licensed US compounding pharmacies; focuses on obesity medicine
- LifeMD / RexMD – Uses licensed US pharmacies for compounded semaglutide
- Sequence (now WeightWatchers Clinic) – Connects patients with licensed prescribers and pharmacies
Important Distinctions to Know
- 503A pharmacies – Patient-specific compounding, licensed by states
- 503B outsourcing facilities – Higher FDA oversight, can produce larger batches; generally considered the gold standard for safety
Tips When Choosing
- Ask specifically if they use a 503B facility
- Verify the pharmacy's license through your state board of pharmacy
- Confirm the active ingredient is semaglutide or tirzepatide (not just "peptides")
⚠️ Note: The FDA has raised concerns about some compounded GLP-1s. Always verify current regulations, as the landscape changes frequently.
