Switching from Wegovy to Compounded Semaglutide (2026 Guide)
Complete Guide & Evidence (2026)
How to switch from brand Wegovy to compounded semaglutide. Dosing, safety considerations, and what to look for in a compounding pharmacy.
What is Compounded Semaglutide?
Compounded semaglutide is the same active molecule as Wegovy and Ozempic, but prepared by licensed compounding pharmacies. Due to ongoing Wegovy shortages, the FDA has allowed compounding pharmacies to produce semaglutide.
Compounded versions are significantly cheaper (often $150-400/month vs $1,000+ for brand) but come with trade-offs in quality assurance and consistency.
Important: Compounded medications are NOT FDA-approved. Quality varies by pharmacy. Always use a reputable 503A or 503B compounding pharmacy.
