[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can get compounded semaglutide from most medspas now.[/quote]

NP—here is one

BUT….this is compounded semaglutide. It is not generic Ozempic/Wegovy.  Generics you can buy with a script from CVS.  The pharmacy at CVS does not carry compounded semaglutide.

A compound pharmacy makes the medication using the ingredients—like a baker would make a cake.  Compounds are not regulated by the FDA so you really don’t know what exactly you are injecting into yourself when you buy a compound.  You are trusting the compounding pharmacy but there is no oversight.

Semaglutide is still under patent.  Novo Norodisk isn’t selling semaglutide as an ingredient to compounding pharmacies.  So you have to ask where are these compounding pharmacies buying their semaglutide and what exactly is in it. [/quote]

This is...illegal. They are not compounding with semaglutide base. They are compounding with research-grade semaglutide salts. FDA has recently been very clear that there is no legal basis for compounding using semaglutide salts. Most state boards of pharmacy are beginning to issue notices that they do not consider this practice legal compounding. [/quote]
