The FDA declared the tirzepatide (December 2024) and semaglutide (February 2025) shortages resolved, ending the exemption that let pharmacies mass-produce compounded copies, and the 503A/503B enforcement-discretion grace periods ended in 2025. The FDA is now actively enforcing (warning letters and takedowns, including a September 2026 warning letter to Empower Pharmacy, a large compounder, over products it called essentially copies of approved semaglutide and tirzepatide), and in 2026 proposed permanently excluding semaglutide, tirzepatide, and liraglutide from the 503B bulks list (the public comment period, extended 30 days, closed July 30, 2026; a final decision is pending). Liraglutide is different: it is still on the FDA drug shortage list (brand Victoza and Saxenda in limited supply, generics available, as of September 2026). Compounded GLP-1s are not FDA-approved and are now generally limited to narrow, patient-specific 503A prescriptions, so broad low-cost availability has largely wound down. They also carry safety risks the branded products do not: FDA adverse-event reports, at least one sterility recall (ProRx, October 2025), and counterfeit product found in the US supply chain, so a low price is not a low-risk signal. Prices and availability below may lag these changes; confirm current terms with the provider.

Only current quotes that state their supply period are ranked; the right pill and dose are a prescriber's decision.
Are GLP-1 pills cheaper than injections?
At the starting dose, FDA-approved pills start at $149 per 30 days and injections at $213 per 30 days (Wegovy pen at Amazon Pharmacy ($199/28 days); Ozempic pen at NovoCare (Novo Nordisk) ($199/fill initially, offer through Dec 31, 2026); Wegovy pen (standard doses 0.25-2.4 mg) at NovoCare (Novo Nordisk) ($199/fill initially, offer through Dec 31, 2026)). At the top published dose, pills start at $299 per 30 days and injections at $374 per 30 days. Pills and injections are different products with their own doses and trial results.
Which GLP-1 pills are FDA-approved, and for what?
Ozempic tablets (semaglutide, Novo Nordisk): Adults with type 2 diabetes: glucose control and cardiovascular risk reduction in those at high risk. The tablet label does not include the injection's kidney indication. Wegovy pill (semaglutide, Novo Nordisk): Weight management and cardiovascular risk reduction in eligible adults. The tablet is not labeled for MASH or pediatric use. Rybelsus (semaglutide, Novo Nordisk): Adults with type 2 diabetes: glucose control and cardiovascular risk reduction in those at high risk. Rybelsus and Ozempic tablets are not substitutable milligram for milligram. Foundayo (orforglipron, Eli Lilly): Weight management in adults with obesity, or overweight with a weight-related condition.
How much weight loss did GLP-1 pills show in trials?
Wegovy pill: in OASIS 4, 25 mg daily (Wegovy tablet) showed a mean body-weight change of -13.6% at 64 wks. Foundayo: in ATTAIN-1, 17.2 mg daily (Foundayo; 36 mg capsule-equivalent in ATTAIN-1) showed a mean body-weight change of -11.2% at 72 wks. These come from separate trials, not a head-to-head comparison, and are averages; individual results vary.
Are compounded GLP-1 tablets the same as FDA-approved pills?
No. SkinnyRx advertises compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide tablets (semaglutide tablets: $149 first month; tirzepatide tablets: $199 first month). Compounded drugs are not FDA-approved, and the FDA does not review them for safety, effectiveness or quality before they are marketed. Compounded semaglutide prices
