Same Drug, Different Labels
Ozempic (for diabetes), Wegovy (for weight loss) and compounded semaglutide are all semaglutide. The differences are the approved use, the top dose, and the price. Switching is a dose match, not a restart.
How a Switch Works
The provider matches your current weekly dose and keeps the schedule. No washout, no loading. If you were on Ozempic at 1 mg, you continue at 1 mg of whichever product comes next.
Why People Switch
Insurance stopped covering it, a shortage, or the price. Compounded semaglutide through Zen IV Spa is $249 a month, prescribed after a $50 video consultation and labs drawn at home.
When Not To
If you had a bad reaction, switching labels will not fix it; the provider may move you to tirzepatide instead.
Common Questions
Will I regain weight during the switch?+
Not if the dose is matched. There is no gap.
Is compounded semaglutide the same?+
Same active ingredient from an FDA-registered 503A pharmacy; it is not FDA-approved as a product, and we say so.
Can I switch to tirzepatide instead?+
Yes, with a dose conversion the provider sets.
