Shed is fully committed to supporting your weight-loss journey. We continue to offer a range of effective weight-loss medications and are excited to launch alternative options to help you reach your goals. Here’s how Shed is managing the FDA’s recent communication regarding access to Compounded Semaglutide Injections:
What’s Happening with Compounded Semaglutide?
As of today, your medication subscription, including dosage and pricing, will remain unchanged for at minimum the next 90 days. This is happening, because the FDA recently updated the status of semaglutide on the shortage list as “resolved.” Comparable to the removal of tirzepatide from the shortage list, there is currently legal action against the FDA. We anticipate that semaglutide will continue to be available while this legal action takes place.
Your Treatment Options
We understand how important your health is and are here to help you transition smoothly to other proven weight-loss medications in the meantime. Here are other weight-loss medication options:
- Injectable Compounded Tirzepatide: Similar to semaglutide, compounded tirzepatide will provide you with similar benefits and results with an easy, once-weekly injection.
- Semaglutide Liquid Drops: Enjoy the benefits of GLP-1 medication without needles, thanks to our compounded oral semaglutide.
- Tirzepatide Liquid Drops: Enjoy the benefits of tirzepatide without needles, thanks to our compounded oral tirzepatide. These will continue to be available indefinitely and are a great alternative to injectable tirzepatide.
- Name-Brand Medications: We now offer name-brand medications including Mounjaro®, Wegovy®, and Ozempic®.
As always, we promote a holistic approach to weight loss in order to better encourage long-lasting wellness. This means incorporating healthy nutritional, physical, mental, and sleep habits to nurture a lifetime of longevity. These habits, taught and supported in our available Health Coaching program, in conjunction with weight-loss medication, can aid those looking to reach their health goals.

How to Switch Your Treatment
Please note you do not need to transition from your compounded semaglutide injections today. We do encourage you to consider what your preference will be. Switching is simple and we’re here to help every step of the way. There are two simple ways to go about this:
- Schedule a follow-up visit with a licensed provider from your Patient Portal. Navigate to the “Schedule” tab along the top menu and book a time to discuss a program change.
- Reach out to the Care Team by emailing support@shedrx.com or texting them at 833-658-7433 to request a program change.
FAQs:
Why is semaglutide being phased out?
The FDA has updated guidelines which impact the availability of compounded semaglutide. All companies that currently offer compounded semaglutide are being required to phase out the availability of the drug to their consumers.
Will I still get results with other options?
Yes! You may anticipate similar results with alternative options.
How long do I have to make the switch?
We would encourage you to explore our alternative medication options within the next 2-3 months to ensure the continuity of your care.
