Feedback on the state of compounded Medications in the Weight Loss industry

Updated over 2 months ago

Compounded medications may still be available through JourneyMeds when a medical provider determines they are medically appropriate. JourneyMeds is actively monitoring regulatory developments related to compounded GLP-1 medications, and at this time, there are no changes to the services offered or the availability of medications as a result of the FDA's rulings. While recent changes have impacted the availability of certain compounded GLP-1 medications, compounding remains an option for creating personalized treatments tailored to individual needs.

Why Compounding May Be Used:

• Custom dosing to match individual tolerance and goals
• Alternative ingredients or forms for better compatibility
• Personalized formulations to support specific health objectives

Our Safety Standards:

We only work with state-regulated compounding pharmacies that adhere to strict regulatory standards, including:

• Regular facility inspections
• Potency, sterility, and stability testing
• 503A-accreditation with independent third-party testing
• Pharmaceutical-grade ingredients (never research grade)
• Base form active ingredients

Additionally, JourneyMeds is committed to transparent communication and will proactively notify patients of any adjustments to services or policies in response to future regulatory updates.

For Microdosing & Longevity:​Compounded medications are especially valuable for our microdosing programs since name-brand medications are locked into strict dosing schedules without flexibility. Our compounded formulations allow us to customize doses for gentle, steady support of energy, focus, sleep, and metabolic health.This approach ensures you receive safe, effective, personalized treatment while maintaining the highest quality standards.
