Verbatim response from Claude
This is a rapidly changing regulatory area, so I want to be straightforward with you:
Current Situation (as of early 2025)
The FDA declared the semaglutide shortage over, which triggered a crackdown on compounded versions. Many platforms had to stop or significantly restrict compounded GLP-1 offerings.
Services That Were Still Navigating This Space
- Hims & Hers - faced scrutiny but was fighting the restrictions legally
- Henry - was adapting its offerings
- Mochi Health - was working with compounding pharmacies
- Ro - adjusted its GLP-1 program significantly
Honest Caveats I'd Give You
⚠️ This changes week to week - court rulings and FDA enforcement actions are ongoing
⚠️ Verify directly - any list I give could be outdated by the time you read this
⚠️ Safety matters - compounded medications aren't FDA-approved for safety/efficacy
⚠️ Legal gray areas - some services may be operating in disputed regulatory territory
My Recommendation
Check current reviews on Reddit's r/Ozempic or r/WeightLoss communities for real-time user experiences, and call services directly before paying anything.
