How to choose
If price is your priority
Look at the cheapest 10 above. Lavender Sky Health ($78/mo) is the cheapest verified program. At those price points, you're typically getting medication-only with minimal clinician interaction. That's fine if you have a stable dose and just need refills.
If clinical oversight is your priority
Filter for ClearScore 75+. These programs include scheduled clinician check-ins, ongoing dose titration support, and metabolic lab work in some cases. Expect to pay $200 to $350/mo.
If you want labs included
Several top-ranked programs include baseline metabolic labs (A1C, lipid panel, liver function). This is genuinely useful if you don't have a primary care physician monitoring you. Programs explicitly including labs: Ro, Found Health, and others.
Compounded vs brand: 2026 status
The FDA shortage ended in February 2025, and the broad shortage-based path for routine copies ended after the enforcement grace periods. Compounded semaglutide is not FDA-approved or a generic. Limited patient-specific compounding may still occur when applicable federal and state requirements are met.
Differences vs brand:
- Price: compounded is $78 to $349/mo, vs Wegovy at $499 to $1,300/mo and Ozempic at $900 to $1,000/mo cash-pay
- Form: compounded is typically vial + syringe; brand is auto-injector pen
- Additional ingredients: many compounded versions include B12 or glycine. Not in brand
- Insurance: brand is sometimes covered. Compounded is virtually never covered

FAQ
Is compounded semaglutide legal in 2026?
Compounded semaglutide is not FDA-approved and is not a generic substitute for Wegovy or Ozempic. After the FDA ended the semaglutide shortage in February 2025, routine copies lost the shortage-based exemption. A licensed prescriber and pharmacy must determine whether a patient-specific compounded drug satisfies federal and state requirements.
How much does compounded semaglutide cost in 2026?
Compounded semaglutide ranges $78 to $349/mo across 70 programs we track. Median price is $199/mo. Cheapest are owner-operated compounding pharmacies. Most expensive include lab work, coaching, or premium service tiers.
How is compounded semaglutide different from Wegovy or Ozempic?
Wegovy and Ozempic are FDA-approved Novo Nordisk products. Compounded semaglutide is not FDA-approved, has not been reviewed as bioequivalent, and should not be described as the same as or a generic version of either brand. Formulation, ingredients, testing, and oversight can differ.
How do I verify a compounding pharmacy is legitimate?
Three checks. First, verify state pharmacy license through your state board of pharmacy. Second, ask for a Certificate of Analysis (COA) for the batch you receive. Third, verify the compounding facility is registered with the FDA (503A state-licensed, or 503B FDA-registered outsourcing facility).
What happened to compounded GLP-1 after the FDA shortage ended?
The FDA declared the semaglutide shortage resolved in February 2025 and the enforcement grace periods ended in 2025. The broad shortage-based path for routine copies ended. Limited patient-specific compounding can still occur when applicable requirements are met, but it is not an FDA-approved substitute.
