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

Bottom line — Grade C

Best for: Shoppers who want the cheapest transparent-pricing brand-name Ozempic channel.

Ranked #370 of 499 on this scorecard. See our top-scoring pick, CoreAge Rx (#1), for comparison.
