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 October 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.

Is MEDVi legit?LillyDirect (Eli Lilly) vs MEDVi: common questions
Is LillyDirect (Eli Lilly) or MEDVi cheaper for GLP-1 medication?
They do not sell the same product here, so neither is cheaper for the same medication. Only LillyDirect (Eli Lilly): Foundayo pill from $149/mo; Zepbound injection $299-$449/28 days; Trulicity injection from $389/28 days; Mounjaro injection from $499/28 days. Only MEDVi: Compounded semaglutide injection $199/mo; Compounded tirzepatide injection $299/mo. Both sell tirzepatide, as different products: Zepbound injection and Mounjaro injection at LillyDirect (Eli Lilly), compounded tirzepatide injection at MEDVi. A compounded product is not a cheaper version of an FDA-approved brand; it is a different, unapproved product.
Do LillyDirect (Eli Lilly) and MEDVi sell FDA-approved GLP-1s or compounded versions?
What each sells here: LillyDirect (Eli Lilly), FDA-approved brand-name GLP-1s only; MEDVi, compounded GLP-1s only. Compounded GLP-1s are not FDA-approved. The FDA does not review compounded drugs for safety, effectiveness or quality.
