Semaglutide, the active medication in Ozempic, works by making you feel full sooner and having that feeling last longer. No longer will you want to eat a full sandwich or three slices of pizza. You will find that you are done after half a sandwich or one slice. It’s that simple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At Bala Better Health, we get our semaglutide from a US-based, state-supervised compounding pharmacy which is referred to as an \u201coutsourcing facility\u201d. They are safe and well regulated but the government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Drug Quality and Security Act, of 2013, section 503B, in the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act established and regulates “outsourcing facilities”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
An outsourcing facility is overseen and inspected by the FDA, along with state regulators.
Compounding pharmacies must comply with section 503B and all current good manufacturing practice (CGMP) requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As a shorthand, we refer to the with Semaglutide as “generic”. Often, ‘generic’ in the context of pharmaceuticals refers to a drug that is being manufactured after a name-brand drug has lost its patent protection. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
That\u2019s certainly not the case here. We refer to it as a ‘generic’ because:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
An alternative way of saying the medication is not a name brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is less confusing; nearly everyone is familiar with using ibuprofen in place of Motrin\u2122<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It has the same active ingredient whether it was created at a compounding pharmacy or at a large pharmaceutical company..<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Because the Semaglutide is in short supply, it was placed on the “FDA Shortage List”. This allows the compounding pharmacies permission to duplicate a commercially-sold medication and supply it to licensed physicians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The short answer is that we do not know. This will be determined by the FDA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
