Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a generic version of Ozempic?
No — Ozempic (semaglutide) is still under patent. Compounded semaglutide may be available during FDA shortage periods at significantly lower cost.
What is a cheaper alternative to Ozempic for diabetes?
Metformin, SGLT2 inhibitors (if generic available), and older GLP-1 agonists may be considered with your doctor. Compounded semaglutide is a cost option during shortages.
How can I get compounded semaglutide through Script Unlock?
Script Unlock connects patients with licensed compounding pharmacies. During shortage periods, compounded semaglutide may be available at a fraction of brand Ozempic pricing.
