Can a med spa in Nebraska offer compounded semaglutide or tirzepatide?

Facility · part of The Practice Perimeter

Short answer
Only if a board-determined shortage or a documented patient allergy applies — Nebraska bars compounding a drug that is essentially a copy of an approved drug, so outside those two exceptions compounded semaglutide or tirzepatide is off-limits.

Nebraska allows compounding for office use but not a copy of an approved drug, which is what a compounded semaglutide or tirzepatide product is outside a shortage. No person shall compound: (a) A drug that has been identified by the federal Food and Drug Administration as withdrawn or removed from the market because the drug was found to be unsafe or ineffective; (b) A drug that is essentially a copy of an approved drug unless there is a drug shortage as determined by the board or unless a patient has an allergic reaction to the approved drug; or (c) A drug that has been identified by the federal Food and Drug Administration or the board as a product which may not be compounded.

Stat.) §§ 38-101 to 38-1,142. 002. Credentialing fees . Credentials are renewed biennially unless otherwise noted.
