Brand-name GLP-1s such as Wegovy, Zepbound and Ozempic are FDA-approved products. Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide are prepared by compounding pharmacies and are not FDA-approved; FDA does not evaluate them for safety, efficacy or quality. Embody, for example, states this next to its prices.

No. Compounded drugs are not FDA-approved. FDA's Feb 2026 warning letter to Strut Health objected to website claims that implied compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide were the same as FDA-approved brands.
