The FDA does not verify the effectiveness or safety of compounded drugs, and these compounds are not FDA-approved. There are also no FDA-approved generic versions of these drugs.<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/2.jpeg-1-2.jpg\"><br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While the FDA is not specific about the adverse effects it\u2019s concerned about, they revealed that they have received adverse event reports. They also explain that compounded versions of Ozempic and Wegovy may contain a salt form of semaglutide, such as semaglutide sodium or semaglutide acetate.\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/2.jpeg-1-2.jpg\"><br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These salt forms contain different active ingredients compared to the drug\u2019s pure form, and \u201cthey have not been found to be safe and effective.\u201d Patients who are purchasing compounded semaglutide or \u201coff-brand\u201d versions due to the drug shortage could be at risk of unexpected side effects.\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/2.jpeg-1-2.jpg\"><br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Are Ozempic and Wegovy Safe for You?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite the reports regarding compounded semaglutide, the FDA continues to consider the pure form of semaglutide safe and effective for certain groups of people.\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/2.jpeg-1-2.jpg\"><br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Consult with your doctor to see if a prescription for Ozempic or Wegovny is right for you. Be sure to fill your prescriptions only with reputable, state-licensed pharmacies. Purchasing semaglutide from an unregulated source could result in your receiving a compounded form of the drug, which could put you at risk of adverse effects.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What Should I Do If I\u2019m Taking a Compounded Version of Semaglutide?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are unsure if you\u2019re taking a compounded version of semaglutide, ask the\u00a0 pharmacist where you filled the prescription. If you obtained semaglutide from a source without a prescription, there\u2019s a good chance that the drug is a compounded version.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Be aware of the differences between the pure form of Ozempic and Wegovy vs a compounded version. Report any side effects to your healthcare provider. Avoid any future purchases of products purporting to be semaglutide that can be purchased without a prescription.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Patients experiencing unexpected side effects after taking Ozempic or Wegovy are encouraged to report their symptoms to the FDA\u2019s <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.accessdata.fda.gov\/scripts\/medwatch\/index.cfm\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">MedWatch Adverse Event Reporting<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you don\u2019t have a prescription for Ozempic or Wegovy, talk to your doctor to see if it\u2019s a good option for you. Your healthcare provider can write a prescription for you to fill at a reputable pharmacy and avoid the potential risks associated with compounded drugs.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Side Effects and Risks of Semaglutide<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As with any prescription medication, even the FDA-approved versions of semaglutide carry some risks of side effects.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nausea<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vomiting<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Diarrhea<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Constipation<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stomach pain<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vivid dreams<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hair loss<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hypoglycemia<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Allergic reactions<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gallbladder disease<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kidney damage<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pancreatitis (rare)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Less-serious side effects typically disappear within a few weeks.
