Many users find branded GLP-1s are not affordable and turn to lower cost sources, such as getting semaglutide made up by a compounding pharmacy (often requesting additions to the formula such as vitamin B12) a practice that is not recommended by the US FDA.13 This may decrease as the first generic versions of GLP-1 drugs become available, which started to get FDA approval in late 2024
As a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist approved by the FDA for chronic weight management, semaglutide (marketed as Wegovy for obesity) represents a long-term treatment approach rather than a short-term solution
Here, a distinction must be made: peptides approved as medicines: for example, insulin or GLP-1peptides (for diabetes and obesity)
This can turn mild, manageable nausea into severe, dehydrating vomiting
