Yes. Any licensed prescriber, including a physician, nurse practitioner or physician assistant acting within their state's rules, can write a prescription for compounded semaglutide and send it to a compounding pharmacy if they judge it appropriate for you. Many primary care offices choose not to, which is one reason telehealth clinics exist.
What this means for you
Your own doctor may be unfamiliar with compounding pharmacies, may prefer brand products or may not want to manage the follow-up. It is reasonable to ask. A telehealth clinic does the same thing with providers who focus on this care. Either way, the prescriber is responsible for the evaluation and for monitoring you, and your primary care doctor should know what you are taking.
