Can a med spa in Oregon offer compounded semaglutide or tirzepatide?
Facility · part of The Practice Perimeter
Short answer
The cited rules do not settle this — they only establish that a practitioner compounding incident to administering or dispensing a drug isn't "manufacturing," and that a physician must dispense personally. Nothing here addresses compounded GLP-1s.
“Manufacture” means the production, preparation, propagation, compounding, conversion or processing of a device or a drug, either directly or indirectly by extraction from substances of natural origin or independently by means of chemical synthesis or by a combination of extraction and chemical synthesis and includes any packaging or repackaging of the substances or labeling or relabeling of its container, except that this term does not include the preparation or compounding of a drug by an individual for their own use or the preparation, compounding, packaging or labeling of a drug: (a) By a practitioner as an incident to administering or dispensing of a drug in the course of professional practice.
Or. Rev. Stat. §689.005(20) (“Manufacture” defined — practitioner compounding incident to administering or dispensing excluded) · verified Sep 7, 2026 · regulatory monitoring, not legal advice
