The End of Compounded Tirzepatide: What You Need to Know and How to Transition

The End of Compounded Tirzepatide: What You Need to Know

With the FDA’s recent clarification on compounding policies and the stabilization of the national GLP-1 supply, the compounded tirzepatide era is coming to a close. Whether you’re already using compounded tirzepatide or considering alternatives, this guide will help you navigate the changes and explore your options. Read on to discover the latest updates, pricing extensions, and oral alternatives that can keep your weight loss journey on track.

Understanding the FDA’s Recent Policy Clarification

The FDA recently clarified policies regarding compounded medications as the national supply of GLP-1 receptor agonists, including tirzepatide, begins to stabilize. These changes stem from the agency’s effort to ensure patient safety and regulate compounding practices. Read the full FDA statement here.

Tirzepatide, commonly compounded for weight loss during its drug shortage, is no longer on the FDA’s drug shortage list. View the FDA’s drug shortage resolution notice here. This change means compounded tirzepatide will be phased out in compliance with federal guidelines.
