[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The compound version is just as regulated as the original.  I have personally taken both and the results are the same.  The only difference is you can actually get the compound version.[/quote]
That’s incorrect:

[i]Compounded medications are usually created using the active ingredients in drugs. In Ozempic’s and Wegovy’s case, that's semaglutide.

But compounded drugs — while they contain FDA-approved ingredients — are not themselves approved by the FDA, meaning they are not regulated, monitored or tested by the agency, said Benjamin Jolley, a pharmacist and owner of Jolley’s Compounding Pharmacy in Salt Lake City. [/i]

[i]Are compounded drugs approved by FDA?

Compounded drugs are not FDA-approved. This means that FDA does not verify the safety, effectiveness or quality of compounded drugs before they are marketed. Consumers and health care professionals rely on FDA’s drug approval process for verification of safety, effectiveness and quality.

What are the risks associated with compounded drugs?

Compounded drugs should only be used in patients whose medical needs cannot be met by an FDA-approved drug. Unnecessary use of compounded drugs may expose patients to potentially serious health risks. For example, poor compounding practices can result in serious drug quality problems, such as contamination or a drug that contains too much or too little active ingredient. This can lead to serious patient injury and death.[/i]
