Medication options
Compounded medication from named 503A pharmacy partner; branded Wegovy through NovoCare DTC or insurance routing where applicable.
The FDA officially removed semaglutide from the drug-shortage list in February 2025, which narrowed the legal basis for routine 503A compounding of exact-copy semaglutide. Lemonaid Health addresses this by using a personalized-formulation model (the compound includes an additional active ingredient like vitamin B12) which is legally distinct from the FDA-approved product. The active GLP-1 molecule is the same; the regulatory framing is different. Some state pharmacy boards have tightened oversight in 2025-2026. For the full background see our compounded vs FDA-approved breakdown.

Where it's compounded
| Pharmacy | Not publicly disclosed |
| Regulatory model | 503B (FDA-registered outsourcing facility, batch production) |
| Disclosure | Not publicly disclosed |
Lemonaid Health does not publicly name the pharmacy that compounds its GLP-1 medications. This is a transparency gap, not a statement about medication safety. Questions worth asking any program: is the pharmacy a named 503A or 503B facility, is it US-licensed, does it carry independent accreditation (PCAB, NABP), and does it provide sterility and potency testing results on request?
Program status uncertain as of 2026-06: parent 23andMe filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy in March 2025 and Lemonaid Health was excluded from the Regeneron acquisition deal. 503B model was their 2024 language; current operating status unverified.
