Cost Plus Drugs vs Remote Pharmacy
The verdict
Remote Pharmacy takes it — 69.9/100 to 58.5/100.
Remote Pharmacy grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. Remote Pharmacy is a US direct-to-consumer telehealth service offering compounded GLP-1 weight-loss medication on a cash-pay basis with no subscriptions or hidden fees.

Graded #370 · C
Strengths
- Transparent pricing: wholesale cost + 15% markup + $5 pharmacy fee, the same for everyone
- Around $279/mo for branded Ozempic — well below typical retail list prices
- Mark Cuban's PBM-disrupting pharmacy, praised by Forbes Health, Wired, and KFF Health News
- Ships to all 50 states; genuine FDA-approved Novo Nordisk Ozempic, not compounded
- Partnered with 9amHealth so you can get prescribed and fill at Cost Plus pricing
Where it loses points
- Fulfillment only — no telehealth intake; you need a prescription from an outside clinician
- Ozempic is FDA-indicated for type 2 diabetes, not weight management — weight-loss use is off-label
- Wegovy availability has been spotty — check current stock before assuming it ships
- No compounded semaglutide or tirzepatide — brand only
- No clinical follow-up — side-effect monitoring falls to your prescribing clinician
Graded #110 · C
Strengths
- Low cash-pay pricing with no subscription or hidden fees
- Free doctor consultation and free shipping (you pay only for medication)
- Offers injectable and sublingual or tablet forms of both drugs
- Medication made by 503A-certified compounding facilities
Where it loses points
- Does not publicly name its specific compounding pharmacies or clinical provider
- Covered states are not listed on the pages reviewed
- Newer brand with limited third-party track record
