Compounded GLP-1 Regulatory News

Where the rulebook stands:

503B exclusion comment window closes; no final rule yet

The FDA's April 30 proposal to permanently exclude semaglutide, tirzepatide, and liraglutide from the 503B bulks list reached the end of its extended comment period in early August. Finalization would foreclose bulk compounding even in a future shortage; patient-specific 503A prescribing is unaffected.

Monitored category — items publish only when newsworthy and sourced.

The regulation category tracks FDA, FTC, state pharmacy board, and court developments affecting compounded GLP-1 access. Each item names the agency, the action, the date, and the affected products, and links the official notice rather than secondary coverage.

Category page indexable; items gated. An item appears here only with a primary source and an event date. We would rather show nothing than manufacture freshness.
