Questions people ask

How much do GLP-1 meds cost without insurance?
About $150 to $1,300 a month. Compounded options are the floor, near $150. Branded Wegovy or Zepbound at retail is the ceiling, $1,300 or more. The chart up top shows the lowest we track for each.
Do I need a prescription first?
No. Every program on the chart includes the visit that gets you the prescription. You complete an online questionnaire or a video visit with a licensed clinician, who prescribes if you qualify. You do not need to bring one of your own.
Is compounded semaglutide safe and legal?
A licensed 503A pharmacy can compound semaglutide against a valid prescription, in limited circumstances set by federal law. Safe is the harder question. The FDA has not approved it, and the formulation can differ from Wegovy down to the salt form, so quality rides on the pharmacy you use. Read the full explainer.
Is compounded the same as the brand?
No. A licensed US pharmacy makes it against a prescription and it is not FDA-approved. Its formulation, including the salt form, can differ from the brand, so ask your prescriber which pharmacy makes it. Read the full compounded guide →
What's the difference between Wegovy, Ozempic and Mounjaro?
Wegovy and Ozempic are the same drug, semaglutide from Novo Nordisk. Wegovy is approved for weight loss, Ozempic for type 2 diabetes. Mounjaro is tirzepatide from Eli Lilly. It works on two gut hormones instead of one. Its weight-loss version is Zepbound. Compare all GLP-1 medications.
Will insurance or Medicare cover it?
It depends on your employer and your plan, and Original Medicare does not cover a GLP-1 for weight loss alone. Your insurer's page shows what your plan covers.
