Wegovy® and Ozempic® are FDA-approved brand-name medicines containing semaglutide. Zepbound® and Mounjaro® are FDA-approved brand-name medicines containing tirzepatide. Compounded semaglutide and compounded tirzepatide may be prepared by a licensed pharmacy pursuant to an individual prescription; they are not generic versions of those brand medicines and are not represented as bioequivalent, clinically equivalent, or interchangeable. Open Water Rx is a telehealth platform; independent licensed providers make all clinical decisions and will recommend the best option for your health profile.

Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide are prescribed when an independent, licensed medical provider determines it is clinically appropriate for the individual patient, for example, when a patient requires a specific dosage strength, formulation, or delivery method not available in the commercially manufactured product, or when the patient has a documented clinical need the branded product cannot meet. Compounding is not offered simply as a lower-cost alternative to Wegovy®, Ozempic®, Zepbound®, or Mounjaro®. Under FDA regulations, compounding is only legally permissible when there is a valid individual clinical reason. Your prescribing provider makes this determination independently, based solely on your health profile, not on cost or convenience. They are prepared by independent, licensed compounding pharmacies operating under Section 503A of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. Open Water Rx does not manufacture, compound, or dispense medications.
