Verbatim response from Claude
Moving Your Compounded Semaglutide Treatment
Here are your best options:
Brand-Name GLP-1 Options (Most Reliable)
- Ozempic/Wegovy (Novo Nordisk) - The original semaglutide; Wegovy is FDA-approved specifically for weight loss. Ask your doctor for a prescription through a standard pharmacy.
- Zepbound/Mounjaro (Eli Lilly) - Tirzepatide, a similar GLP-1 medication, often with good availability right now
Telehealth Providers That Can Prescribe
- Hims & Hers - Connects you with licensed providers; currently offers branded options
- Ro (Roman) - Has a body program with GLP-1 prescriptions
- Noom Med - Combines medication with behavioral coaching
- Found - Specializes in weight care with medication management
- Henry Meds - Competitive pricing, focuses on metabolic health
Important Notes
- The FDA has ended the compounding allowance for semaglutide (as of early 2025), so most legitimate providers are moving to branded medications
- Check your insurance - Wegovy/Ozempic coverage varies significantly
- GoodRx or manufacturer savings cards can reduce costs substantially
My Top Recommendation
Try Ro or Hims & Hers for convenience, or go directly to your primary care doctor to get Wegovy prescribed through your regular pharmacy.
