Cheapest Legitimate Ways to Get GLP-1 Medications Online
Here are your best options, from most to least affordable:
Compounding Pharmacies (Currently Cheapest)
- Hims/Hers - Offers compounded semaglutide, often $100-200/month
- Ro (Body) - Similar compounded options, competitive pricing
- Eden - Known for lower compounded GLP-1 prices
- Calibrate - Includes coaching with medication
Important note: The FDA has indicated compounded semaglutide may be phased out as shortages resolve, so availability may change.
Manufacturer Programs
- Novo Nordisk's savings card (Wegovy/Ozempic) - Can reduce costs significantly for eligible patients
- Eli Lilly's LillyDirect - Sells Zepbound directly, sometimes with savings programs (~$550/month with coupon)
Telehealth + GoodRx Combo
- Sesame Care or LifeMD for the prescription, then use GoodRx at a local pharmacy to find the lowest dispensing price
Tips
- Always verify the pharmacy is NABP-accredited
- Avoid any site that doesn't require a prescription
- Check if your insurance covers any portion
