Important Patient Notice: Changes to Compounded GLP-1 Medications

July 6, 2025

​

Recent FDA enforcement actions now prohibit U.S. pharmacies from dispensing compounded injectable tirzepatide and semaglutide. As a result, these versions are no longer available through Proximity (PRX) Wellness or any other legally operating pharmacy.

What This Means for You

If you previously used …Next Steps

Compounded tirzepatide• Schedule a follow-up with your PRX provider to discuss transitioning to an FDA-approved brand (e.g., Mounjaro®).

Compounded semaglutide• Schedule a follow-up to discuss FDA-approved options such as Wegovy® (weight-loss) or Ozempic® (diabetes / off-label weight-loss).

​

Good News for Patients With Insurance

PRX providers can prescribe the branded, FDA-approved versions (Mounjaro, Wegovy, Ozempic).
Because every insurance plan is different:

1. Contact your insurer and ask:

   • Is [Mounjaro / Wegovy / Ozempic] covered under my plan?

   • What tier or prior-authorization requirements apply?

2. Bring any coverage details to your telemedicine visit so we can select the most cost-effective treatment.

Tip: Many insurers now require a prior authorization letter. We’ll handle the paperwork once you provide your plan information.

 

Uninsured or Out-of-Network?

If branded GLP-1 pricing is a barrier, don’t worry. We can:

• Discuss alternative evidence-based medications (e.g., liraglutide)

• Enroll you in manufacturer savings programs when available

• Create a personalized nutrition, fitness, and behavioral-coaching plan
