Key standards
We prefer primary sources: FDA guidance, prescribing information, provider pricing pages, pharmacy standards, and clinical literature.
Compounded tirzepatide and compounded semaglutide are not FDA-approved as finished drugs. They may be prescribed only when a licensed provider determines they are clinically appropriate and legally permissible for an individual patient. Brand-name medications such as Mounjaro, Zepbound, Ozempic, and Wegovy are FDA-approved products and should not be treated as identical to compounded medications.
