Standard v1.1 · criterion S4
S4. Compounding disclosure
A seller of compounded drugs says so plainly. The disclosure states that compounded products are not FDA-approved.
Compounded semaglutide is not Ozempic and the difference is regulatory, not cosmetic. A reader deciding where to buy is owed that distinction in plain words on the page where the decision happens.
Check method
Product and FAQ pages are read for the words compounded and FDA-approved. Placement must be reader-visible, not buried in terms.
What fails
Marketing a compounded product under a brand drug's name with no compounding language fails S4.
