FDA issued a warning letter to directmeds.com, Inc. dba DirectMeds (Bluffdale, UT) in September 2025 after reviewing their website and finding that marketing claims for compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide falsely implied these products are equivalent to FDA-approved brand-name drugs. The claims were deemed false or misleading under FDCA sections 502(a) and 502(bb), rendering the products misbranded. FDA demanded the company cease using the offending language immediately and provide a written corrective response within 15 working days, warning that failure to comply could result in seizure or injunction.

If you've looked into brand-name versions of semaglutide, you know the cost can be steep – especially without insurance. That's where buying compounded semaglutide online can make a big difference. Compounded medications are created by licensed compounding pharmacies using the same active ingredients.
Compounded semaglutide contains the same active ingredient as branded semaglutide.
Don't give up hope if brand-name Mounjaro is out of reach due to cost. You may be able to get compounded tirzepatide online, which is an effective and budget-friendly alternative. Compounded formulations use the same active ingredient as the brand-name drug, customized by licensed compounding pharmacies to meet your needs.
Required actions (3)
You should take immediate action to address any violations (including, for example, ceasing and desisting from using the language cited above that misbrands the product).
Within fifteen (15) working days of receipt of this letter, please provide a written response to the Office of Compounding Quality and Compliance (OCQC) within the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER)'s Office of Compliance describing the specific steps you have taken to address any violations.
Failure to adequately address any violations may result in legal action without further notice, including, without limitation, seizure and injunction.
