Compounded meds ≠ brand-name meds.
Here’s the truth - coming from us - who have no allegiance or financial incentives to promote either.
Brand-name GLP-1s are made under strict regulations that ensure consistency, safety, and potency.
Compounded versions are not.
Because these drugs are still under patent, compounding pharmacies don’t have access to the actual molecule. They’re making a lookalike - which isn't the same thing as a generic.
That doesn’t mean all compounded meds are dangerous, but they’re not held to the same standard. And that’s something people deserve to understand before injecting them in their bodies.
🤞Yes, there may be a true generic semaglutide on the horizon in Canada - but it’s not here yet.
