If you’ve heard about recent changes in compounded weight loss medications, you’re not alone. The FDA has tightened restrictions on the compounding of semaglutide — the popular GLP-1 medication that’s helped thousands lose weight and improve blood sugar control.
But that doesn’t mean your options are gone.
At J & J Wellness Collective, we now offer sublingual semaglutide drops — a safe, needle-free alternative that may be the right fit for you.
Let’s break down what this change means and how the sublingual form compares to injections.
Why the FDA Banned Compounded Semaglutide
In 2024, the FDA clarified that semaglutide sodium and semaglutide acetate (two versions often used in compounded meds) are not allowed to be compounded under federal guidelines, since branded semaglutide (Ozempic®, Wegovy®) is commercially available.
That meant many wellness clinics and compounding pharmacies had to stop offering compounded injections.
What Are Sublingual Semaglutide Drops?
Sublingual semaglutide is taken by placing a liquid dose under your tongue — no needles, no hassle. It’s still designed to activate GLP-1 receptors in the body, which:
- Regulates appetite
- Slows stomach emptying
- Stabilizes blood sugar
- Promotes steady weight loss
Are Sublingual Drops Effective?
The short answer? Emerging studies and real-world use show promise.
While sublingual delivery is relatively new compared to injections, it’s designed to bypass the digestive system and enter the bloodstream more directly. Patients have reported:
- Noticeable appetite suppression
- Gradual and sustainable weight loss
- Fewer digestive side effects
Of course, results vary, and some patients may respond better to injections. But if you’re needle-shy or unable to get access to injectable semaglutide, this is a strong alternative worth exploring.
