The FDA explains on its website that when a drug is in shortage, compounding pharmacies may be able to prepare a compounded version if they meet certain Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act requirements. As of May 2023, Ozempic and Wegovy are both listed on the FDA’s Drug Shortages list, and as a result, Houston-based Empower Pharmacy began offering compounded GLP ones.
