Content current as of July 2026; updated when guidance or availability changes.
Not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding (same semaglutide pregnancy profile as Wegovy). Discontinue at least 2 months before planned pregnancy due to long half-life. If you become pregnant on compounded semaglutide, stop the medication and contact your prescriber promptly. The 2026 narrowing of compounding legality means many patients have already transitioned to branded — this is an additional reason if planning pregnancy.
