Who qualifies

Every GLP-1 medication sold in the US needs a prescription. A prescriber writes it for a use the label approves:

Victoza: With diet and exercise, it lowers blood sugar for adults and children aged 10 and older with type 2 diabetes.
Victoza: Adults with type 2 diabetes and heart disease face a smaller chance of heart attack, stroke, or death linked to the heart.
Saxenda: With diet and activity, it helps adults and children aged 12 and older with obesity (over 60 kg) lose weight, then keep that weight off over the long term.

Scam signals

No prescription needed: sellers that skip the prescription are not licensed US pharmacies.
Compounded sold as the brand: compounded drugs carry no FDA approval, so Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro or Zepbound is not among them.
Claims that a drug is identical to the brand: FDA issued 30 warning letters to telehealth companies about misleading claims.
The FTC acted against one program over monthly pricing that leaves out the drug. See the NextMed review.
