Exendin-4, found in Gila monster saliva, led to the first GLP-1 drug approved in 2005. Now compounded GLP-1 injections face sterility recalls. Learn more at CDC.gov

Compounded GLP-1 shots cost ~85% less than brand-name Ozempic.

Brand-name semaglutide (Ozempic/Wegovy) runs $900–$1,300/month. Compounded versions cost $100–$200/month. The FDA's sterility-driven recall now forces an estimated 1M+ patients to pay full price or stop treatment.

A 2012 compounding pharmacy scandal reshaped FDA drug law!

The NECC meningitis outbreak killed 64 & sickened 793, prompting the 2013 Drug Quality & Security Act — expanding FDA oversight of compounders. Today's GLP-1 sterility recalls echo that same crisis.
