Is compounded semaglutide legitimate?

Compounded semaglutide is prepared by a licensed compounding pharmacy and prescribed by a licensed clinician, but it is not an FDA-approved finished product and has not been through the FDA's approval review. That is a real distinction from Wegovy or Ozempic, and it is the main thing to understand before starting. 111 of the 591 providers we track carry LegitScript certification, a third-party check that a telehealth pharmacy operates within the rules.
