Compounded medications are safe when sourced from reputable pharmacies.

  • FDA-registered 503A and 503B compounding pharmacies

  • Facilities that undergo regular inspections

  • Pharmacies that follow strict sterility and potency standards

  • FDA-approved API manufacturers


Compounded Medication Disclaimer (NEW โ€“ as you requested):

Mevo Health partners with licensed U.S. pharmacies that operate in FDA-registered, FDA-inspected 503A and 503B compounding facilities.

However, itโ€™s important to understand:

  • Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide are not FDA-approved medications

  • They are custom-made formulations prepared in FDA-registered facilities that follow strict quality, sterility, and potency standards.

Compounding is used when commercially branded medications are in shortage or when a customized formulation is medically appropriate.

Your provider will determine which medication, dose, and formulation is right for you
