Why Millions Are Trying FDA-Authorized Alternatives to Big Pharma’s Weight Loss Drugs
Dry industry officials estimate that several large compounding pharmacies are provisioning up to 2 million American patients with regular doses of semaglutide, the scientific name for Novo Nordisk’s Wegovy, Ozempic, and Rybelsus formulations, or tirzepatide, the active ingredient in Eli Lilly’s Zepbound and Mounjaro.
