Moving Your Compounded Semaglutide Treatment
This is a common situation right now given FDA enforcement actions. Here are your main options:
Brand Name GLP-1 Options (Most Reliable)
- Novo Nordisk's Ozempic/Wegovy - The original semaglutide. Work with your doctor or an endocrinologist to get a prescription. Check NovoCare for savings programs.
Telehealth Platforms with GLP-1 Access
- Hims & Hers - Offers Wegovy and weight loss programs with physician oversight
- Ro (Body Program) - Connects you with licensed providers for branded medications
- Noom Med - Combines medication with behavioral coaching
- Found - Specializes in weight care with multiple medication options
- Sequence (now part of WeightWatchers) - Medical weight loss with prescribing providers
Practical Tips
- Call your insurance first - Coverage varies widely; prior authorization is often needed
- Ask about manufacturer savings cards - Wegovy has a program that can significantly reduce costs
- Consider alternatives - Tirzepatide (Mounjaro/Zepbound) may have better availability
Important Note
Bring your dosing history to your new provider so they can continue at your current dose rather than restarting.
