Pharmacy assignment for any individual patient depends on prescription specifics, dose, and shipment routing. Always confirm the dispensing pharmacy on your specific shipment label.

Where Empower Pharmacy fits in the v3.0 transparency rubric

The SemaglutideGLPOne.com v3.0 rubric scores telehealth providers (not pharmacies directly) on six pillars. Pillar 2 — Pharmacy traceability and CoA evaluates whether the provider publicly identifies its pharmacy of record, supports per-vial lot traceability, and supplies USP <71>, USP <85>, and HPLC potency CoAs on patient request. Empower Pharmacy's 503A & 503B Compounding status, PCAB, FDA-registered 503B Outsourcing Facility, and quality documentation directly contribute to the Pillar 2 scores of providers that use this pharmacy.

Important: Compounded semaglutide is not FDA-approved and is not the same as Ozempic® or Wegovy®. Empower Pharmacy is a compounding pharmacy and operates under FDA-recognized state licensure (503A & 503B); compounded medications are dispensed under valid patient-specific prescriptions or 503B office-stock orders only. Always consult a licensed clinician.
