Verbatim response from Claude
Reputable Compounded GLP-1 Programs
Here are some well-regarded options, keeping in mind this space changes quickly due to FDA regulations:
Telehealth Platforms with Compounded Semaglutide/Tirzepatide
Hims & Hers
- Large, established telehealth company with medical oversight
- Transparent about compounding pharmacy partnerships
Ro (Body Program)
- Strong medical infrastructure and licensed provider network
- Clear pricing and clinical protocols
LifeMD / RexMD
- Board-certified physician oversight
- Has navigated regulatory changes actively
Noom Med
- Combines behavioral coaching with medication
- More holistic approach
Important Considerations
⚠️ Regulatory status matters - The FDA has indicated semaglutide shortages are resolved, which affects legal compounding status. Tirzepatide's status has been more contested.
✅ Look for programs that:
- Use 503B-registered outsourcing facilities (higher standard than 503A)
- Require actual physician consultations
- Are transparent about their compounding pharmacy source
- Offer ongoing monitoring
My Honest Take
Brand-name options (Ozempic, Wegovy, Zepbound) through insurance are preferable if accessible. Compounded versions carry more regulatory uncertainty right now.
