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 + Compounding Pharmacy Combos
Hims & Hers
- Large, established telehealth platform
- Transparent about compounding sources
- Competitive pricing with subscription options
Ro (Body Program)
- Strong medical oversight
- Clear provider communication
- Uses 503B compounding pharmacies (higher regulatory standard)
Henry Meds
- Known for affordability
- Straightforward process
- Popular for semaglutide access
LifeMD / Rex MD
- Established telehealth infrastructure
- Good patient support
Key Things to Look For
- 503B vs 503A pharmacies - 503B facilities have stricter FDA oversight
- Physician involvement - real prescribers, not rubber stamps
- Third-party testing - some programs verify potency/purity
Important Caveats
⚠️ The FDA has declared semaglutide and tirzepatide no longer in shortage, which may affect compounding legality going forward - check current status before committing
⚠️ Always verify the compounding pharmacy's accreditation (PCAB accreditation is a good sign)
