Colchis Medical Services PC

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].

Specific compounded GLP‑1 providers that use licensed U.S. pharmacies include Empower Pharmacy, OrderlyMeds, Henry Meds (via Adonis Health Inc.), and Fridays (though Fridays does not name all partners publicly). Here’s a breakdown of who they are and how they operate: Provider Licensed U.S. Pharmacy Partners Notes Empower Pharmacy Operates its own 503A PCAB‑accredited compounding pharmacy (licensed in multiple states) Ships nationwide, including Puerto Rico; offers compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide [1] OrderlyMeds Works exclusively with U.S.-based licensed pharmacies: SmartPharmaRx, Casa, PerfectRx/PerfectionRx All pharmacies are state‑licensed 503A facilities; provides cold‑chain shipping [6] Henry Meds (Adonis Health Inc.) Uses 503A and 503B compounding pharmacies (specific partners not named on marketing pages) One of the most transparent providers; mentions its medical group (Colchis Medical Services PC) [3] Fridays Uses 503A and 503B certified compounding pharmacies; customer reviews mention Beaker Pharmacy as a partner Does not name all partners publicly; patients can ask support which pharmacy will fill their prescription [3] Important regulatory context Compounded GLP‑1s (semaglutide, tirzepatide) are not FDA‑approved and are only legally allowed when the commercially available version is in a verified shortage [2]. As of May 2025, most grace periods for compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide injections have ended; shortages are now resolved, so regular compounding of “essentially copies” of FDA‑approved drugs is no longer permitted except for specific medical needs (e.g., non‑standard doses or forms) [5]. Compounded semaglutide can currently only come from 503A pharmacies, and a single 503A pharmacy may fill no more than four prescriptions per patient per calendar month [3]. If you’re considering a compounded GLP‑1, confirm with the provider: Whether they have a specific medical justification for compounding (e.g., unique dose, allergen removal). Which licensed U.S. pharmacy will fill your prescription. Whether they comply with the current 4‑prescription/month limit for 503A compounding of semaglutide. For the most reliable option with a fully licensed U.S. pharmacy under your control, Empower Pharmacy and OrderlyMeds are strong choices because they explicitly name or operate their own licensed facilities and emphasize state compliance.
