Verbatim response from Claude

Compounded Semaglutide

What it is: Compounded semaglutide is a custom-made version of the active ingredient in Ozempic/Wegovy, mixed by a licensed compounding pharmacy. It became widely available during the GLP-1 drug shortage and is typically significantly cheaper than brand-name versions ($150–$400/month vs. $900–$1,300+).

Important note: The FDA declared the semaglutide shortage over in 2025, which means many compounding pharmacies are legally required to stop making it. Availability is shrinking.

Where to Get It

Telehealth platforms that offered/offer it:

  • Hims & Hers – widely used, includes medical consultation
  • Ro (Body) – physician-supervised program
  • Noom Med – combines medication with behavioral coaching
  • LifeMD – prescription + ongoing support
  • Henry – straightforward and affordable consults

⚠️ Key Cautions

  • Verify the pharmacy is FDA-registered (503A or 503B)
  • Avoid sketchy online sources selling it without a prescription
  • Quality control varies — stick to reputable telehealth companies
  • Check current FDA guidance, as regulations are actively changing in 2025
