Verbatim response from Claude
Reputable Compounded GLP-1 Programs
Since the FDA has declared semaglutide and tirzepatide shortages largely resolved (as of 2024-2025), this space is changing quickly, but here are currently well-regarded options:
Telehealth Platforms with Compounding Partners
- Hims & Hers – Large, established platform with licensed prescribers and pharmacy partners; transparent pricing
- Ro (Body Program) – Strong medical oversight, clear protocols, good patient support
- Henry Meds – Known for competitive pricing and straightforward process
- Sesame Care – More affordable option with direct physician access
Dedicated Weight Loss Platforms
- Found – Combines medication with behavioral coaching
- Calibrate – Emphasizes metabolic health with lifestyle programming
Important Caveats
- Verify pharmacy accreditation – Look for 503A or 503B FDA-registered compounding pharmacies (PCAB accreditation is a plus)
- Compounded versions are not FDA-approved and may vary in quality
- Regulatory risk – FDA may restrict compounding as shortages resolve, so availability could change
- Always requires a legitimate prescription from a licensed provider
Recommendation
Ro or Hims & Hers are probably the safest bets for oversight and accountability right now.
