As a compounding pharmacy that works closely with prescriber clinics and medical spas across the country, we’ve seen one theme repeat itself when enforcement actions occur: most violations are easily preventable. In early 2025, the Ohio Board of Pharmacy suspended more than 30 clinics and med spas after determining their operations posed an immediate risk to patient safety.

Interest in GLP-1 weight loss medications has grown rapidly, and so have searches for research-grade tirzepatide.
