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)
Graded #495 · C
Strengths
- LegitScript Certified
- Four named compounding pharmacy partners (Pharmacy Hub, Epiq Scripts, Dr. TelX, Emerad), none with FDA warning letters
- Oral GLP-1 option for both semaglutide and tirzepatide — uncommon in compounded telehealth
- Mid-tier pricing starting $179–$299/mo across all four product variants
- No commitment — cancel anytime
Where it loses points
- States served not published — you must complete the intake quiz to learn eligibility
- No founder, CEO, medical director, or pharmacist-in-charge named anywhere
- No BBB profile found
- Its Queens NYC pharmacy is 'opening soon' — all dispensing currently routes through external partners
- FDA issued this company a warning letter dated 19 March 2025; the letter is public in FDA's warning-letter database
