Compounded semaglutide
DoctorAdam review
One month of compounded semaglutide from DoctorAdam costs $179, charged a single time. Nothing renews, and there's no membership on top. The $129 you'll see advertised is what the Annual Supply averages out to.
Is it right for you?
Worth a look if
- You don't want a recurring charge on your card at all.
- You might prefer a daily tablet or under-the-tongue drops later, since DoctorAdam prices those semaglutide forms the same way.
- You'd rather get your money back automatically if the doctor says no.
Skip it if
- You want the advertised $129 without paying for twelve months at once.
- You're in New Jersey, Mississippi or Alaska.
- You want a pharmacy near you to fill it, which DoctorAdam says compounded semaglutide can't be.
What's included
Semaglutide comes in three forms at DoctorAdam: a weekly injection, an oral tablet and a sublingual drop. The plan screen gives the injection three choices. A 1 Month Supply is $179, a 6 Month Supply costs less per month, and the Annual Supply averages $129. Each is charged once, with the note "One-time payment."
Listed injection strengths are 0.22, 0.44, 0.88, 1.5 and 2.2 mg, and the doctor decides which one you start on. DoctorAdam includes the physician review, prescription, medication and delivery in the price.
Prescriptions go to Olympia Pharmaceuticals in Florida or Carie Boyd Pharmaceuticals in Texas, the two partners the FAQ names. DoctorAdam says the medication can't be moved to a retail pharmacy because it's compounded for you.

What's good, what isn't
What's good
- A 1 Month Supply of semaglutide is charged once at $179, with no subscription attached.
- Injection, tablet and sublingual drop forms of semaglutide all appear on DoctorAdam's plan list.
- The FAQ names Olympia Pharmaceuticals and Carie Boyd Pharmaceuticals as the pharmacies that fill orders.
What isn't
- The advertised $129 a month is the Annual Supply, paid in one charge at checkout.
- Once a semaglutide order is processed and shipped, DoctorAdam's refund policy treats it as final.
- DoctorAdam doesn't serve New Jersey, Mississippi or Alaska, and its 44-state list also leaves out Massachusetts.
Read these terms first
- The weight-loss refund promise
- DoctorAdam's recommendations screen promises a full refund if you haven't lost 16% of your body weight after six months. Its refund policy says medication sales are final. Get the promise's conditions from support in writing.
- Which form you pick
- The injection, tablet and drops cost the same, but DoctorAdam notes that drops absorb less than the injection. Settle on a form before you reach the plan screen.

Common questions about DoctorAdam
- Is DoctorAdam legit for semaglutide?
- DoctorAdam is an Anaheim-based telehealth platform whose licensed physicians and nurse practitioners write the prescriptions. Named compounding pharmacies make the medication. The semaglutide is compounded, which means it isn't Wegovy or Ozempic and has no FDA approval.
- How much does DoctorAdam semaglutide cost?
- $179 for one month, charged once. The doctor visit, the prescription, the medication and shipping are included. The Annual Supply averages $129 a month but is paid as one lump sum. DoctorAdam's tirzepatide injection is $249 for a month.
- Does DoctorAdam accept insurance?
- It doesn't. Compounded semaglutide is cash-pay, though you can use an FSA or HSA card.
- Does DoctorAdam auto-renew?
- No. The plan screen says there are no subscriptions, so each supply is a separate purchase. You reorder when you need more.
