[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Compounded means the active ingredient (like semaglutide) is mixed with other fillers, but it’s not the trademarked mixture of Ozempic or Wegovy. Kind of like generic vs name brand. It is like 75% cheaper.[/quote] That is not what generic vs. name brand is. Generic is the EXACT SAME formulation.[/quote] This is a myth -- generics are not exactly the same. My doctor once refused to allow a generic version of the medication he wanted to prescribe for me because of the huge problems with the generic not being exactly the same. The brand name cost a lot more, but he said the generic version of it "kept him up at night." [/quote] I was under the impression that Compounded semaglutide is a little more than just a brand/generic difference. Pharmacies are adding other stuff to the compounded injections—b12, various salts bonded to the semaglutide that may change the way it works in the body. [/quote]
