Today's episode is dedicated to addressing a controversial topic - compound pharmacies and GLP-1 medications. The lack of availability and affordability of medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro has become a growing concern. In light of this, The Plus SideZ has invited specialists to educate the community on compounding pharmacies. There is not enough information available on this topic, and our community is in dire need of guidance. Join us as we speak with Dr. Daniel Rosen, Dr. Myra Ahmad, and Dr. Adam Ripley to explore the ins and outs of GLP-1 compounding pharmacies.
Our doctors have provided answers to some common questions regarding compound GLP-1 medications. They have addressed concerns about the safety of these medications and whether compound pharmacies are regulated. They have also explained that not all compound pharmacies are created equal and have highlighted some red flags that patients should look out for. Additionally, our doctors have addressed concerns about where compound pharmacies are sourcing drugs like Semaglutide or Tirzepatide, especially since retail brand manufacturers like Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk have stated that they are not providing these medications to them.
