The FDA recently announced that semaglutide and tirzepatide—the active ingredients in popular weight loss and diabetes drugs like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Zepbound—are no longer in shortage. Because of this, compounding pharmacies will soon have to stop making and selling these medications.

However, many pharmacies disagree. A group representing compounding pharmacies has filed a lawsuit against the FDA, arguing that the shortage is not truly over. They claim that patients still struggle to get these medications and that stopping compounding pharmacies from making them will only make things worse.

Can You Still Get Compounded Semaglutide and Tirzepatide?

Even though the FDA has removed these drugs from the shortage list, there is a 60 to 90-day grace period before the new rule fully takes effect. During this time, compounding pharmacies can continue making the medications.

ME Wellness & MedSpa works with a trusted pharmacy that is part of the lawsuit against the FDA. As long as the lawsuit is ongoing, our pharmacy will still be able to make these medications, allowing our clients to continue their treatments without disruption.

What This Means for You?

Semaglutide and tirzepatide are in high demand because they are effective for weight loss and managing type 2 diabetes. In fact, prescriptions for semaglutide increased by 442% in the past year, which is why many people have had trouble getting it.

The FDA believes that drug manufacturers can now meet demand, but some patients are still struggling to find these medications. Compounding pharmacies have helped by making affordable alternatives.

The lawsuit’s outcome is still unknown. However, ME Wellness & MedSpa is staying updated and will continue working with our pharmacy to ensure our clients get the medications they need.
