Medication options
Push Health is a marketplace; medications are prescribed by independent licensed clinicians and fulfilled by retail or compounding pharmacies of patient's choice.
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. Push 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 | Varies by prescriber (marketplace model) |
| Regulatory model | Not specified |
| Disclosure | Not publicly disclosed |
Push 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?
Push Health is a prescriber marketplace, not a single-pharmacy program. Individual prescribers direct compounding orders; no single compounder applies at the platform level.
