Is compounded semaglutide the same as Ozempic? No. Compounded semaglutide is a personalized compounded medication prepared by a licensed pharmacy; Ozempic and Wegovy are FDA-approved brand-name products manufactured by Novo Nordisk. Compounded semaglutide is a different product: it is prepared by a compounding pharmacy, can differ in dose form and excipients, and is not FDA-approved.
