Compounded semaglutide
Edessa review
Edessa advertises semaglutide from $135, yet a buyer who wants no commitment pays $179 each month. That lower number belongs to the 6-month plan. Consults, dose changes and free expedited shipping are folded into either price.
Is it right for you?
Worth a look if
- You're starting GLP-1 treatment on a budget and can commit to three or six months for a lower rate.
- You want to be able to quit online without talking to anyone.
- You like having clinical support on hand around the clock.
Skip it if
- You took the homepage's "Start for just" figure as the price of one month. Month to month is $179.
- You want a prescriber's yes before any money leaves your account.
- You need to know in advance which pharmacy will compound your vial.
What's included
Semaglutide at Edessa comes as a weekly injection, with the same price quoted for every dose. Three plan lengths are on offer. One month costs $179, three months bring it down, and six months reach $135 a month. The monthly option renews itself every month until you stop it.
The provider price index puts Edessa’s recorded cost on the same calendar-month basis as other sellers. Check whether the quote covers your prescribed dose and includes the same services. Among the sellers we work with, the HealthRX review and the YourEra review cover the sellers nearest in recorded price; we may earn a commission from those sellers.
A monthly box holds four weeks of medicine, packed cold. Edessa is a management platform owned by Edessa Group, LLC, and OpenLoop Health supplies the prescribing clinicians. Its terms list four partner pharmacies across Utah, Kentucky, New York and Alabama. Tirzepatide is sold too, at $239 a month on the monthly plan.
From sign-up to refills
- Answer the intake questions about your body measurements, medical history and any past weight-loss drugs.
- Choose semaglutide, pick monthly, 3-month or 6-month billing, tick the auto-renewal box and enter a card.
- After checkout, an OpenLoop Health clinician reviews your answers and meets with you to decide on a prescription.
- Once approved, a partner pharmacy ships your first four weeks free. The plan keeps billing on the cycle you chose.
What's good, what isn't
What's good
- Edessa quotes one semaglutide price for all doses, so $179 a month doesn't rise as you step up.
- OpenLoop Health clinicians handle prescribing, with Edessa promising a decision within 24 hours.
- Semaglutide ships free and cold, and Edessa's terms name its partner pharmacies, among them RedRock Pharmacy in Utah.
What isn't
- Edessa's semaglutide FAQ calls $135 a first-month price, but it's the 6-month plan rate.
- Your card is charged at Edessa's checkout, before the OpenLoop Health clinician visit.
- Refunds under Edessa's guarantee need five months with no weight loss, and 25% is kept regardless.
Read these terms first
- The billing button you press
- The semaglutide card shows three buttons. Monthly is $179. The 3-month and 6-month buttons carry lower rates in exchange for a longer commitment.
- Automatic renewal
- You must agree that the subscription renews every month until canceled. Set a reminder if you only want to try a single month.
- Returns
- Edessa's terms say prescription products can't be returned and consult fees are never refunded. Contact support through the portal if an order looks wrong.

Common questions about Edessa
- Is Edessa semaglutide legit?
- Edessa is a telehealth platform from Edessa Group, LLC in Las Vegas. Prescriptions come from OpenLoop Health clinicians and are filled by U.S. compounding pharmacies. Compounded semaglutide isn't Wegovy or Ozempic and hasn't been evaluated by the FDA, which Edessa's own footer states.
- How much is Edessa semaglutide per month?
- $179 if you pay monthly. The rate drops with a 3-month plan and reaches $135 a month on the 6-month plan.
- Does Edessa accept insurance for semaglutide?
- No. Edessa is cash-pay only, though you can use an HSA or FSA card. It suggests your insurer may reimburse branded drugs, not compounded ones.
- How do I cancel Edessa?
- The monthly plan carries no contract, and Edessa says canceling doesn't require talking to anyone. Do it before the next monthly renewal to avoid another charge.
