Compounded Semaglutide is a customized medication designed to meet the specific needs of patients, as determined by their healthcare provider. Unlike FDA-approved versions that come in standard forms, compounding allows for:
- Customized Forms: Creating liquid versions for those who cannot take pills.
- Adjusted Dosages: Tailoring dosages based on individual requirements.
- Availability During Shortages: Replicating FDA-approved drugs that are in short supply, ensuring continuous access to necessary medications.
Compounded medications are prepared by licensed compounding facilities that adhere to both FDA and state regulations, including stringent quality standards. When compounded in accordance with federal laws, these medications are not subject to FDA approval and do not undergo the same safety, efficacy, or manufacturing reviews as commercially available drugs.
At Eve, healthcare providers have the option to prescribe compounded semaglutide, utilizing the same active ingredient found in Ozempic® and Wegovy®, to better serve the unique needs of each patient.
