§ GLP-1 & Weight Loss
Compounded Semaglutide
A non-FDA-approved semaglutide prepared by a licensed 503A or 503B compounding pharmacy. Legal only while Wegovy/Ozempic remains on the FDA drug shortage list.
Fact-checked 12 May 2026Plain-English Reference
Compounded semaglutide is a customized formulation made by a compounding pharmacy (503A or 503B) and is not reviewed by the FDA for safety, efficacy, or quality. Its availability has historically depended on FDA shortage status — when Wegovy and Ozempic exited shortage, the legal pathway for compounded semaglutide narrowed considerably. Compounded does not mean illegal, but it is materially different from FDA-approved Wegovy.
