Important Caveats
⚠️ The FDA has declared the semaglutide shortage over, meaning compounding of semaglutide specifically faces legal uncertainty as of 2025. Tirzepatide compounding is also being challenged.
⚠️ Quality varies significantly between compounding pharmacies.
I'd strongly recommend consulting your own doctor and checking current FDA guidance before starting any compounded GLP-1 program, as the regulatory landscape is actively shifting.
