From the other side of the consultation, briefly.

Price comparison for compounded supply across sources I've used:

SourceMonthly CostTypePurity Verified
Brand (Ozempic)$949FDA-approvedN/A (pharma)
503B Compounding$179cGMP compoundedYes (in-house)
503A Compounding$99Patient-specificVaries
Research peptide$64Not for human useOften Janoshik

I use the 503B option — best balance of quality, cost, and legality. The brand price is insane but insurance can help if you qualify.

This is exactly what I could not find anywhere else. Taking it to my next appointment.

From the other side of the consultation, briefly.

Regarding compounded supply compounding legality: compounding pharmacies can legally produce semaglutide and tirzepatide while these drugs remain on the FDA shortage list. If/when the shortage resolves, the legal landscape may change.

Stay informed. The FDA shortage list is updated regularly. Current status as of my last check: semaglutide shortage ongoing, tirzepatide partially resolved. This directly impacts compounding availability.

Second this. I had assumed I was the exception until I read this.
