Compounded GLP-1s in Ohio
Most of this site is about what things cost. This page is about what a pharmacy in Ohio is allowed to make. The state's Board of Pharmacy put dates on when compounding semaglutide and tirzepatide had to stop, and named two peptides that were never allowed in the first place.
Every source on this page was read in September 2026. Each one is dated below with the date printed on the document itself.What changed, and what the document says
| Point | Status | What the source says |
|---|---|---|
| What the guidance is | Context | Not a new rule. The board is restating law that already applied, which is why it has dates attached rather than a comment period.
The Ohio Board of Pharmacy — Date Issued: 7/17/2025 |
| Salt forms | Not covered | The semaglutide sodium and semaglutide acetate you see advertised are not the ingredient in the approved drugs, and the board says so directly.

| Retatrutide and cagrilintide | Not covered | Not a timing question. These two cannot be compounded, and existing stock had to go.

Which of these companies serve Ohio?
Of the 28 companies we grade, 4 publish a list of the states they are licensed in. We checked 23 more and found no such list on any page we read; 1 we have not checked either way.
3 of those lists name Ohio: Gala Health, Care Bare Rx and Vita Bella. That is a licensure claim each company makes about itself, not something we checked with a state board.
A published list is a starting point, not a guarantee. If availability decides your choice, ask before you pay and get the answer in writing.
If you're paying cash instead
None of the above changes what a telehealth seller charges you. These are the graded reviews worth reading first from here:
- AgelessRx — Sells compounded semaglutide and microdosed tirzepatide. Worth reading alongside what Ohio's board says can be compounded.
- Alan Meds — Compounded semaglutide with a published month-to-month price, which is rarer than it should be.
- Zealthy — Compounded semaglutide, advertised at one price and billed at another from month two.
Our grading method and how we verify a price explain what those letters mean.
