How to Ensure Safety When Switching
Since the FDA resolved the semaglutide shortage in February 2025, compounded versions are no longer medically necessary for most patients, and safety concerns have risen regarding unregulated sources [9]. To avoid counterfeit or unsafe products:
- Verify accreditation: Choose providers that are LegitScript-certified or accredited by the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy (NABP) [4][9].
- Confirm pharmacy registration: Use the FDA’s Be Safe Rx tool to confirm your new provider’s pharmacy is a sterile compounding facility registered with the FDA [8][10].
- Ask about salt forms: Some compounded products use semaglutide sodium or acetate salt forms, which are not the same active ingredient as FDA-approved Ozempic/Wegovy and may lack safety/efficacy data [10].
- Inspect upon delivery: Check for discoloration, particles, or improper temperature control before using [5].
Alternative: Switch to FDA-Approved Medication
If safety is your primary concern, consider switching to FDA-approved semaglutide (Ozempic for diabetes, Wegovy for weight loss) or the new oral Wegovy available since January 2026 [9]. These options eliminate the risks associated with compounding and are available through standard pharmacies with a prescription from your doctor.
