Compounded semaglutide is a custom-prepared version of the GLP-1 receptor agonist semaglutide, made by licensed compounding pharmacies. It contains the same active ingredient found in brand-name medications like Ozempic and Wegovy, but is prepared in specialized dosage forms or strengths to meet specific clinical needs.
Unlike mass-manufactured drugs, compounded semaglutide is prepared on a per-patient basis by 503A or 503B compounding pharmacies under federal and state regulations. It is prescribed when a patient has a documented clinical need that cannot be met by the commercially available product.
Common reasons patients are prescribed compounded semaglutide:
When prescribed for a legitimate clinical need, compounded semaglutide typically costs between $149 and $399 per month. Below is a general overview of semaglutide pricing.
| Medication | Type | Monthly Cost | Rx Required |
|---|---|---|---|
| Compounded Semaglutide | Compounded | $149 – $399 | Yes |
| Ozempic (brand) | FDA-Approved | ~$998 | Yes |
| Wegovy (brand) | FDA-Approved | ~$1,349 | Yes |

Dissolved under the tongue for absorption. A needle-free alternative growing in popularity for patients who prefer not to inject.
