Topic poll · all networksWho's most responsible for sterility issues in recalled GLP-1 shots?
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.
