The Brief
- After May 22, compounding pharmacies can no longer make and sell semaglutide injections.
- They were initially allowed to because the FDA declared a shortage, but that period has ended.
- At Melrose Pharmacy in Phoenix, the news isn’t welcome because it’s a popular drug.
PHOENIX – Compounding pharmacies will no longer be allowed to create semaglutide injections, a generic and cheaper version of Ozempic and Wegovy.
This comes after a judge rejected a bid by these pharmacies to keep selling the mixture.
