[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I hope this is ok to share here, but I am basically tearful with jealousy at all the posters whose insurances are covering it even though they don’t have “medical conditions”. I am overweight- I should be under 150 for a BMI of 25, and I’m 170. I have no other health problems. I CANNOT lose the weight and I’ve actually gained 10lb this past year when I stopped being hyper vigilant about calories and weighing myself daily. I am struggling so much and have so much self loathing for my lack of “willpower” or whatever it is that’s causing this. But I cannot afford a thousand dollars a month. I can’t even afford 550 a month like one of the posters.

I just want to take this drug and reduce my insane appetite and lose this weight and be healthy and feel good. I am so angry and sad.[/quote]

I have compassion for you. I think this medication is very effective for so many people and it really should be available for people who need it (not the vanity 20 lbs). I think  you can get semaglutide easily at many medspas and/or online rx that will send it to a compounding pharmacy. Is it legit? yes, although not name brand. Is it safe? Probably if you know where it was compounded. Is it legal? It is, for the moment.  I think its still more expensive than an insurance copay but might be a few hundred bucks a month. There are also people buying it from chinese suppliers directly--I would not do that, although I would also imagine that the compounding pharms are doing that (but maybe they have vetted, tested sources).

Absolutely not legal to compound semaglutide. The below is from the North Carolina Board of Pharmacy, but does a very good job of outlining currently applicable federal law here, which is what compounders are using. No-FDA approved semgalutide bulk is available for compounding. Several states have sent out these notices, they will all do so before much longer. The pharmacy compounding association has also posted notice that it should not be compounded. No reputable compounder will engage in providing compounding this drug. If you pursue this drug from a shady facility, understand the bulk ingredient is not FDA-approved, did not come from an FDA-registered manufacturing facility, and has no studies supporting its safety or stability for compounding for this use.
