Pharmacies were able to make copycat versions of Eli Lilly's Zepbound and Mounjaro while the drugs were in shortage.

The FDA declared the shortage over late last year .

Compounding is where pharmacies mix ingredients of a drug to create a specialized version for specific patients.

Online, it doesn't look like much has changed.

Mass compounding of semaglutide is the active ingredient in Novo Nordisk's Ozempic and Wegovy.

A Florida judge last year dismissed one of Lilly 's cases, saying the company was trying to enforce a law that only the FDA can.

The CEO of Mochi said she isn't worried about Lilly taking legal action against her providers.
