Can a med spa in Vermont offer compounded semaglutide or tirzepatide?
Facility · part of The Practice Perimeter
Short answer
The cited rules do not settle this — none of them address compounded GLP-1s. They do establish that compounding is a separately licensed class of drug outlet, and that offering to prescribe, order, or administer any drug is the practice of medicine.
Vermont licenses compounding and 503B outsourcing as classes of drug outlet: Each drug outlet shall apply for a license in one or more of the following classifications: (1) Retail. (2) Institutional. (3) Manufacturer. (4) Wholesale distributor. (5) Investigative and research projects. (6) Compounding. (7) Outsourcing. (8) Home infusion. (9) Nuclear. (10) Third-party logistics provider.
