My compounded semaglutide provider shut down. Where should I move my treatment?

Here are some solid options to consider:

Telehealth Platforms with Semaglutide Access

Hims & Hers

• Well-established platform, competitive pricing, includes medical oversight

Ro (Body)

• Strong reputation, licensed physicians, transparent pricing

WeightWatchers (WeightWatchers Clinic)

• Combines medication with behavioral support program

Noom Med

• Pairs medication with their coaching/psychology-based approach

Important Context Right Now

⚠️ FDA compounding status is shifting - The FDA removed semaglutide from its shortage list, which means:

• Many compounding pharmacies are being phased out
• You may need to transition to brand-name Ozempic or Wegovy
• Insurance coverage matters more now

Practical Recommendations

• If cost is primary concern: Check Novo Nordisk's Victoza/Wegovy savings programs directly
• If you have insurance: Ask your doctor about brand-name coverage first
• If you want brand-name at lower cost: Mark Cuban's Cost Plus Drugs doesn't carry it yet, but keep watching

Best First Step

Contact your current doctor or a local obesity medicine specialist - they can write prescriptions and help navigate insurance.
