Important information about compounded medications.
Last updated: September 27, 2026
Compounded medications are not FDA-approved. The FDA does not verify the safety, effectiveness, or quality of compounded drugs before they are marketed.
Compounded medications are prescribed only when a licensed provider determines they are medically appropriate for an individual patient. They are prepared by a licensed pharmacy in accordance with applicable state and federal law.
GLP-1 medications may cause side effects including nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, and in rare cases pancreatitis, gallbladder problems, or thyroid C-cell tumors. Discuss your medical history with your provider. Results vary.
