Why People Are Still Choosing Compounded GLP-1s—And How We’re Making It Safer

GLP-1 medications like semaglutide (Wegovy, Ozempic) and tirzepatide (Mounjaro, Zepbound) have become incredibly popular tools for weight management and metabolic health. But if you’ve looked into them lately, you may have noticed that the cost is high, supply is inconsistent, and getting a prescription isn’t always simple.

That’s why many patients are still turning to compounded versions—even as FDA regulations around them shift. At Good Day Pharmacy, we understand the confusion and want to provide safe, personalized options for those who are exploring alternatives.

Let’s Talk About Cost

Brand-name GLP-1 medications can cost $900–$1,300+ per month without insurance—and not every plan covers them, especially for weight loss. That’s a big hurdle.

Compounded versions have historically offered a more affordable option. But with recent FDA announcements phasing out some compounded forms, patients are asking: What now?

We Have a Solution: Sublingual Semaglutide

At Good Day, we offer a sublingual (under-the-tongue) compounded version of semaglutide that is taken daily—no injections required. This option is available by prescription and is carefully compounded to meet individualized needs.

It’s an innovative choice for those who:

• Want a needle-free alternative

• Need flexibility in dosing

• Are looking for a more affordable and accessible way to stay on track
  

We’re proud to offer this option as part of our commitment to personalized care.

You Deserve a Pharmacy You Can Trust

We know there’s a lot of information—and misinformation—out there. Not all compounded products are created equal, which is why it’s so important to work with a pharmacy you know and trust.
