The FDA Cracking Down on Compounded Weight Loss Drugs – Here’s What It Means for Telehealth Companies and Consumers
After years of weight loss drug shortages, the FDA is saying there’s now an adequate supply for most medications and they will be prohibiting like-for-like compounded versions.
Millions of people are taking compounded weight loss drugs. Now, they're about to disappear.
Compounding pharmacies will have to stop producing copycats of tirzepatide, the active ingredient in the blockbuster weight loss drugs Mounjaro and Zepbound, in a matter of days. That’s because a federal judge has ruled that compounding pharmacies can’t keep making copies of the drug now that it’s no longer in shortage.
Compound versions of some weight loss drugs to be restricted
Zepbound contains the same active ingredient, tirzepatide, as Mounjaro, which is also made by Lilly and is FDA-approved to treat Type 2 diabetes. Some doctors also prescribe Mounjaro "off-label" for weight loss, as is permissible by the FDA.
Compound versions of weight loss drugs will no longer be available, FDA rules
Compounded versions of popular drugs used for weight loss including Wegovy and Zepbound will soon no longer be available after a decision by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The agency has ordered compounding pharmacies to stop making compound versions of GLP-1 drugs now that the drugs are no longer in short supply.
