Graded #442 · C
Strengths
- First-party Novo Nordisk pharmacy — the most authoritative branded Wegovy channel
- $199/mo intro pricing on Wegovy 0.25/0.5 mg starter doses (through 6/30/2026), the lowest brand self-pay price
- $349/mo standard self-pay is well below the ~$1,300/mo retail list price
- Ships to all 50 states with no telehealth-platform middleman fees
- Cold-chain logistics handled directly by Novo Nordisk
Where it loses points
- Wegovy only — no Ozempic, no tirzepatide, no compounded GLP-1
- Requires an existing Wegovy prescription — no prescribing clinicians or telehealth intake
- No clinical support included — your own prescriber handles titration and side effects
- Manufacturer-set pricing can change at any time
- $199 pen intro covers only the first 2 fills for new patients (through 6/30/2026); maintenance doses are $349/mo ($399 HD)
