Weighing a semaglutide care offer
Identify the pharmacy behind the offer.
Before you accept the care offer, get the name of the pharmacy. Check the record yourself rather than relying on a logo on the offer page.
Ask who makes and supplies it
- What is the pharmacy called in full?
- If the medicine is made to order, who prepares it?
- How can I ask that pharmacy questions?
Keep in mind The FDA, the US medicines agency, warns that people getting medicines made to order online may not know the actual maker.
Check the state pharmacy record
- Open the FDA state-lookup page below.
- Choose your state and search for the named pharmacy.
- Match the name and read the licence status.
Keep in mind Pharmacy licences come from state pharmacy boards, which are separate from doctor licensing boards.
The FDA advised against using an online pharmacy that is absent from your state's list of licensed pharmacies. This advice was recorded on September 17, 2026.
Most states require a pharmacy elsewhere to hold permission in your state before shipping to you, as checked on September 26, 2026.
Ask what a badge actually proves
- Does the badge show a licence, an outside quality check or just a listing with the FDA?
- Can I check the underlying record?
Keep in mind Accreditation, an outside check of standards, is separate from a licence.
FDA registration means a business has been entered in the agency's records. As of September 26, 2026, that listing did not mean approval of the business or its medicine.
A pharmacy's licence entry by itself cannot confirm that it dispenses every medicine correctly.
