While compounded GLP-1 medications provide a cost-effective alternative, they are not typically covered by insurance. Unlike non-compounded 'name brand' drugs such as Ozempic and Mounjaro, compounded medications offer a more budget-friendly option for uninsured individuals or those whose insurance does not cover other GLP-1 drugs.
