[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] No, it is not. The active agent is supposed to be chemically the same, but carriers, fillers, colors, etc., can be different. It is not uncommon for generics to have different release/absorbtion rates and/or different side effects. By way of example, I had experience with the name brand of a particular medicine and found that the generic switched to was actually more effective. On the other hand, there is an antibiotic that has no side effects for me in name brand, but every generic I have tried has had significant gastric side effects. [/quote]
