The verdict

Nova MD takes it — 66.6/100 to 58.8/100.

Nova MD grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. Nova MD is a telehealth platform offering compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide on 1-month and 3-month plans, with an uncommon explicit microdose program for both molecules.

We may earn a commission if you start care through some of these links, at no extra cost to you. It never moves the WeighScore, which is the weighted average of the six factors shown for every provider, and what we write about a provider is the same either way. See our disclosure.

Nova MD

Graded #187 · C

Strengths

  • On-page pricing published for all four SKUs (semaglutide and tirzepatide, 1- and 3-month)
  • $125/mo semaglutide and $199/mo tirzepatide 3-month plans rank among the cheapest in the market
  • $50 off first tirzepatide order shown publicly
  • Explicit microdose / low-dose program for both semaglutide and tirzepatide
  • Broader menu (sermorelin, NAD+, glutathione, enclomiphene) for longevity alongside GLP-1

Where it loses points

  • Legal entity name and state of incorporation not disclosed
  • Compounding pharmacy not named — only 'accredited facilities'
  • LegitScript certification not confirmed (only 'Licensed US Providers' claims)
  • Per-state availability not listed
  • Compounded only — no brand-name Wegovy, Zepbound, Mounjaro, or Ozempic
PrescribedRX

Graded #360 · C

Strengths

  • Compounded semaglutide ($189/mo) and tirzepatide ($276/mo) injectables, with lower per-month pricing on the 3-month plans ($176 and $233/mo)
  • Clear, upfront plan pages showing monthly and multi-month pricing with no surprise fees
  • Care from licensed US providers with monthly home delivery and ongoing dose support
  • Bilingual English/Spanish site and a broader telehealth menu (TRT, longevity, hair, sexual health) for people who want more than weight loss

Where it loses points

  • Doesn't publish the states it serves — you only learn eligibility after starting the intake
  • Compounding pharmacies aren't named on the site
  • Mid-range pricing — cheaper compounded GLP-1 options exist and the 3-month discount is modest
  • Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide injectables only — no brand-name or oral options
  • Self-hosted affiliate program (not a vetted network); Florida/Palm Beach framing suggests a regional lean
