Bottom Line

Compare Compounded Semaglutide and Wegovy on the all-in maintenance cost and pharmacy transparency, not the headline starter price. Confirm both before deciding, and check clinical fit with a prescriber.

Compounded semaglutide is not FDA-approved as a finished drug product. Compounded medications may be prescribed only when clinically appropriate and must be evaluated by a licensed prescriber. Branded medications such as Wegovy and Ozempic are FDA-approved products; compounded semaglutide is different and should not be described as FDA-approved, “generic Wegovy,” or “generic Ozempic.”
