Moving Your Compounded Semaglutide Treatment
This is a common situation right now given FDA enforcement actions. Here are your best options:
Branded GLP-1 Medications (Most Reliable)
- Novo Nordisk's Ozempic/Wegovy - The original semaglutide; work with your doctor or an endocrinologist to get a prescription
- Eli Lilly's Zepbound/Mounjaro (tirzepatide) - Many find it equally or more effective
Telehealth Platforms
- Hims & Hers - Offers branded semaglutide options and has adapted to the compound restrictions
- Ro (Body) - Connects you with licensed providers and branded medications
- Calibrate - Focuses on metabolic health with GLP-1 prescriptions
- Found - Telehealth with obesity medicine specialists
Direct Healthcare Options

- Obesity medicine specialists - Search via the Obesity Medicine Association directory
Practical Tips
- Check insurance coverage first - Wegovy is increasingly covered
