A medication sold under a manufacturer's trade name, made by that manufacturer and reviewed and approved by the FDA — for example, Wegovy, Zepbound, or Ozempic. Branded products come in a tested device (like a prefilled pen) with an approved label, which is the main distinction from compounded copies. They're usually the most expensive option at list price, though insurance and manufacturer programs can change that.
