The rules are that it is illegal, but the FDA has discretion in enforcement for personal use for supplies under 90 days.
Depending on your definition of legitimate, pharmacies for this sort of stuff have been around for a while, but maybe a more developed path occurs once this becomes a more of a thing that happens with Ozempic specifically?

We should clarify what the term illegal means. Selling it, particularly as a pharmaceutical, without being a licensed compounding pharmacy, could easily result in prosecution if anyone noticed. However, buying it and injecting it into yourself is only highly discouraged out of concern for public safety link. If you want to buy "Research Use Only" Semaglutide from another country and reconstitute it for your own personal use, well, there's really no statute that you can be prosecuted under. Semaglutide isn't a controlled substance.
I will point out that the adverse events discussed in the FDA notice were from not indicated as coming from taking the "off-brand" formulations. This is not to say that one is safer than the other, rather that imported versions of the drug have not resulted in a level of harm excessively beyond that of the approved formulation, something that would be conspicuously highlighted in public messaging, were it found to be the case.

This is going to be so good for me. Ozempic has been awesome for helping me manage my diabetes, but coverage is challenging because when my A1C starts to look good (BECAUSE of the ozempic), they stop wanting to cover it. Massive pain.
Clarification: Canadians still need a prescription to obtain this, though. Sorry, first thought was if anyone wanted me to mail some to you in Freedom land.
Despite the excitement around the news, experts like Dasgupta say semaglutide is still a prescribed medication that shouldn't be used without health-care supervision.

Yeah, you need a prescription, but it’s very easy. I know more than a few people on it who have no plausible reason for it. Just aesthetics and biohacking.

Canada is the first of the G7 countries to authorize generic semaglutide.
Apotex is a global pharmaceutical company headquartered in Toronto.
According to the pricing structure of the pan-Canadian Pharmaceutical Alliance, the first generic medication could cost 75 to 85 per cent of the brand name. Once a second medication enters the market, the price for both drops to 50 per cent.
Rookie numbers. A year's supply can cost $100 - $150 from China. Unless name-brand Ozempic has taken a massive tumble over the last year, this is a much steeper discount that 50%.

This will go in the history books
So what's U.S. law say about importing those generics across the border? Are there (legitimate) online pharmacies that could deliver?

It’s illegal. Enforcement is difficult, but if you don’t care you can get gray market generic formulations of Ozempic today.

I suspect if you live near the border you’d never face any repercussions for purchasing for yourself and driving it back home.
