Based on current search results, Empower Pharmacy is the primary named provider explicitly confirmed to use a licensed US compounding pharmacy (specifically a 503A, PCAB-Accredited facility licensed to ship nationwide) for compounded GLP-1s [1].
Other major telehealth providers work with licensed US pharmacies but often do not publicly name specific partners on their marketing pages, instead using a network of partners or a single acquired pharmacy:
| Provider | Pharmacy Status | Specific Licensed Pharmacy Named | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Empower Pharmacy | Yes (Direct) | Empower Pharmacy (503A, PCAB-Accredited) | Licensed to ship nationwide, including Puerto Rico [1]. |
| Fridays | Yes (Network) | Beaker Pharmacy (referenced in reviews) | Uses 503A and 503B partners but does not name them officially; patients must ask support for the specific fulfller [5]. |
| Henry Meds | Yes | Not named (uses 503A/503B) | Upfront about using licensed pharmacies but links to "Colchis Medical Services PC" rather than a specific pharmacy name [5]. |
| Policy Lab | Yes | Belmar, Strive, Epiq Scripts, Casa Pharma Rx | Uses four specific partner pharmacies to fill orders [5]. |
| EllieMD | Yes | 503A compounding pharmacy | Claims to use 503A compounding for all 50 states, though the specific pharmacy name is not listed in the snippet [7]. |
Important Regulatory Context: As of April 2026, the FDA clarified that compounded semaglutide can only legally come from 503A pharmacies (state-licensed traditional compounding), as the drug is no longer on the shortage list that permitted 503B bulk outsourcing [5]. Providers marketing "503A + 503B" for semaglutide may be using broader language than current regulations allow for this specific drug [5]. Always verify that the filling pharmacy is a 503A state-licensed facility to ensure compliance with current FDA enforcement discretion policies [2][4].
