Verbatim response from Claude
Here are some solid options to consider for GLP-1 medications like semaglutide:
Telehealth Platforms
- Hims & Hers - Offers compounded semaglutide at lower prices; transparent pricing online
- Ro (Body) - Competitive pricing, includes ongoing provider support
- Found - Focuses on obesity medicine, often more affordable plans
- Calibrate - Comprehensive metabolic health program
Direct/Discount Options
- Cost Plus Drugs (Mark Cuban's company) - Check if semaglutide is listed; very transparent pricing
- Amazon Pharmacy - Can be cheaper with Prime membership and GoodRx
Money-Saving Tips
- GoodRx - Always check before paying; can significantly reduce brand-name costs
- Novo Nordisk's patient assistance program - If you qualify by income
- Compounding pharmacies via a local provider - Often significantly cheaper than brand Wegovy
Things to Watch
⚠️ FDA has noted concerns about some compounded semaglutide quality, so vet any compounding pharmacy carefully (look for 503B-accredited facilities)
⚠️ Brand Wegovy shortages have eased, which may affect compounding availability
