Compounded Semaglutide
Semaglutide prepared by a compounding pharmacy rather than the manufacturer — customizable, but never FDA-approved.
Compounded semaglutide is prepared for an individual patient by a state-licensed compounding pharmacy — for example at a customized dose or in a tablet form — rather than manufactured by Novo Nordisk. Compounded drugs are legal when properly prescribed, but they are not FDA-approved, the FDA does not review them for safety, effectiveness, or quality, and they are not brand-equivalent.
The category spans a wide quality spectrum: transparent programs disclose compounded status plainly, use pharmacies held to USP standards, and require genuine prescriber evaluation, while bad actors sell mystery vials under brand-adjacent names. The patient checklist is simple — clear disclosure, identifiable pharmacy, real doctor — and any seller failing it deserves a hard pass. Our compounded tablet program and its disclosures are laid out in full on the product page.
This glossary entry is general information, not medical advice, and is written to be consistent with FDA prescribing information and primary trial publications as of its last review. Always consult a licensed healthcare provider for personal medical decisions.
