Yes. Semaglutide in every form, including compounded semaglutide, is a prescription medication in the United States. A licensed pharmacy can prepare it only after receiving a valid prescription from a licensed provider who has evaluated you.
What this means for you
A website that ships semaglutide with no provider evaluation is not operating as a pharmacy, and what arrives is unregulated. Vials labeled for research use are not made for people. The prescription requirement exists because someone with a license has to review your medical history, your current medications and whether a GLP-1 medication is reasonable for you, and then stay available for follow-up.
How it works at Biotech Lifestyle
You complete an online medical intake, a provider licensed in your state reviews it and meets with you if required, and a prescription is written only if the provider decides it is appropriate. We serve patients only in states where our providers and pharmacies are licensed.
