Here are some solid options to consider for GLP-1 medications like semaglutide:
Telehealth Providers (Often More Affordable)
- Hims & Hers - Offers compounded semaglutide at significantly lower prices than brand-name Wegovy
- Ro (Body Program) - Competitive pricing with ongoing provider support
- Noom Med - Combines medication with their behavioral coaching program
- Found - Focuses on personalized obesity treatment plans
Discount/Transparent Pricing Options
- Mark Cuban's Cost Plus Drugs - Check if compounded semaglutide is available
- Amazon Clinic - Increasingly offering GLP-1 prescriptions
Tips to Save Money
- GoodRx - Compare pharmacy prices in your area
- Novo Nordisk's savings program - If you have insurance, Wegovy's manufacturer offers copay cards
- NovoCare Patient Assistance - For those who qualify based on income
Important Notes
⚠️ Compounded semaglutide is cheaper but is not FDA-approved and quality can vary - choose reputable pharmacies
⚠️ The FDA has declared the Wegovy shortage over, which may affect compounded options' legal status
I'd recommend comparing Hims & Hers or Ro as starting points for competitive pricing. Would you like more details on any of these?
