During supply shortages, and as an alternative to FDA-approved branded products, where your provider determines GLP-1 medications are appropriate, and where available depending on your state, your provider may prescribe a compounded drug. Compounded drugs prescribed by Alpha Providers are prepared by a licensed sterile compounding manufacturer and fulfilled by Alpha's partner pharmacy, in compliance with state law.

Zepbound(TM) and Wegovy(TM) are brand name medications that are FDA-approved for weight loss. Ozempic(TM) is a brand name, FDA-approved for type 2 diabetes treatment, but may be prescribed off-label for weight loss at a healthcare provider’s discretion.
