[quote=Anonymous]The ones out of stock are the name brands (wegovy; zepbound).  For these, any doc can write a prescription and you can theoretically pick it up at CVS, etc.  But mostly (completely) out of stock right now.

For the compounded versions (theoretically the same stuff but made by compounding pharmacies rather than the main pharma companies, just google 'semaglutide' and you'll get a ton of options.  These are typically websites that connect you with a doctor for a prescription, and that prescription goes to a compounding pharmacy.  The doctor should require you to do labwork in advance of a prescription.  If you've done it recently through your regular doc, you can submit it to them for their review.

I've done both.  Was on zepbound til I couldn't find it in stock, so went the compounding approach--I'm hoping only for a month while I'm on a waiting list for Zepbound refill.  (I didn't want to have a big gap in taking it and then need to start again on the lowest dose.).

The doc you get through the online service (like Brightmeds or whatever) is theoretically going to be as careful as your regular doc.  But I'm skeptical, so personally would recommend you okay everything and have. a real conversation with your real doc.  They can also do your labwork.  And then just use the online doc as a convenient way to connect to the compounders...  (For a lot of these websites, the online doc is included in the advertised price.).  If you buy this way, they send the medicine to your home in overnight mail.  [/quote]
