How we are paid: one company on this page — Coreage Rx — pays us a commission if you sign up through our link. It does not buy a better score, a higher position, or the removal of a single criticism. Our rating method and full disclosure are both public.
About $151 a month for compounded semaglutide with no membership fee — one of the few programmes here where the advertised number survives contact with your bank statement.
The $39 first month lowers the barrier without the usual teaser-rate whiplash, and there is no monthly platform fee waiting behind the medication price.
How the dose ladder is handled
Standard 0.25 to 2.4 mg escalation with clinician review. Nothing unusual, nothing to complain about.
| Semaglutide doses | Step up roughly every |
|---|---|
| 0.25 mg → 0.5 mg → 1 mg → 1.7 mg → 2.4 mg | 4 weeks |
| Price changes as you climb? | Check before you start |
The full schedule, and what to do if a rung goes badly, is in the dose ladder explained.
Support when it gets hard
Adequate. Where insurance might cover branded Wegovy, Zealthy will pursue it, which can take patient cost down to roughly $25 a month — with coverage, and only with coverage.
Broad telehealth platform with a weight programme that offers both compounded medication and insurance-billed branded prescriptions.
What it costs
About $1,812 a year, second only to the flat-rate leader among programmes charging what they advertise.

What we verified
- First month advertised at $39.
- Compounded semaglutide priced from about $151/month.
- Compounded tirzepatide priced from about $216/month.
- Where insurance covers branded semaglutide, patient cost can fall to roughly $25/month.
Checked 2026-09-18. Prices here move often, so treat anything older than a month as a starting point.
Strengths
- Compounded pricing is competitive without a separate membership charge.
- Will pursue insurance coverage rather than defaulting to cash pay.
- Low-friction $39 first month.
Drawbacks
- The $25/month figure depends entirely on insurance approval and is not a cash price.
- Support is spread across a wide range of unrelated conditions.
Worth knowing. The widely quoted $25/month is an insured price. Cash payers should plan on $151+ for semaglutide.
