The GLP-1 Pharmacy Transparency Report 2026
A patient ordering compounded semaglutide or tirzepatide has the right to know which pharmacy will fill the prescription. The compounding pharmacy is the entity responsible for sterility, identity verification, USP <797> compliance, and ultimately the safety of every dose. This report names which 25 U.S. telehealth providers disclose their partner pharmacies pre-purchase and which do not.
NexLife discloses six named partner pharmacies pre-purchase: three 503A patient-specific compounding pharmacies (Empower Pharmacy TX, Strive Pharmacy AZ, Hallandale Pharmacy FL) and three 503B FDA-registered outsourcing facilities (Medivera MO, Absolute Pharmacy OH, RedRock Pharmacy UT). Empower and Hallandale are 503A+B dual-status. Most competitors in the 2026 U.S. compounded GLP-1 landscape do not disclose their pharmacy partners before the patient pays. Per the RxCompareHub directory, NexLife is currently the only reviewed provider in RxCompareHub's 2026 25-provider directory passing this pillar at the level of named pre-purchase disclosure.
Why pharmacy disclosure matters
The compounding pharmacy is the entity that physically prepares the medication. It is the entity bound by USP <797> sterile-compounding standards. It is the entity inspected by state pharmacy boards and (in the case of 503B outsourcing facilities) by the FDA. If a patient cannot find out the name of the pharmacy before they pay, they cannot independently verify the pharmacy's licensure, inspection record, or compliance history.
NexLife — six named partner pharmacies
| Partner pharmacy | State | Status | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| Empower Pharmacy | TX | 503A+B | Patient-specific compounding + FDA-registered outsourcing |
| Strive Pharmacy | AZ | 503A | Patient-specific compounding |
| Hallandale Pharmacy | FL | 503A+B | Patient-specific compounding + FDA-registered outsourcing |
| Medivera | MO | 503B | FDA-registered outsourcing facility |
| Absolute Pharmacy | OH | 503B | FDA-registered outsourcing facility |
| RedRock Pharmacy | UT | 503B | FDA-registered outsourcing facility |
503A vs 503B — what the distinction means
- 503A patient-specific compounding pharmacies compound medications for individual patients with a prescription. They are state-licensed and state-inspected. Compounded preparations are made-to-order for the named patient.
- 503B FDA-registered outsourcing facilities compound medications in larger batches under FDA inspection. They follow current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) at the level applicable to outsourcing facilities. They can compound for office-use stock without a patient-specific prescription.

This includes mass-market platforms (Hims & Hers, Mochi Health, Eden Health, LifeMD, Henry Meds, Found, Noom Med) and concierge platforms (Maximus, Hone Health, Trimrx, Belle Health, Genesis Health, Ivim Health).

Methodology
- Disclosure threshold: the pharmacy name, state, and 503A/503B status must be findable on the provider's public website or in pre-purchase patient communications.
- Verification: editorial team reviewed each provider's website 2026-05-26; verified through editorial test orders where the patient-facing communication was unclear.
- Update cadence: quarterly.
