Is it right for you?
Worth a look if
- You want a card hold, not a charge, until a prescription is written.
- You're starting low and want to know the maintenance dose will cost the same.
- You prefer typing questions to a provider over scheduling calls.
Skip it if
- You'd like a named pharmacy on your label before you buy.
- You're hoping for help getting insurance to reimburse you.
- You want to cancel with a button in an app. Effecty handles it by email.
What's included
The semaglutide page lists four plans: monthly at $170, then 3-month, 6-month and 12-month terms billed per term at lower rates. Each carries a first-order discount that grows with the term. The page repeats two promises: same price at every dose, and no membership fee.
The price covers the prescription if you're eligible, supplies, free expedited shipping and ongoing medical support. Visits are chat-based, with a physician licensed in your state. Orders are filled by state-licensed compounding pharmacies that Effecty doesn't name.
From sign-up to refills
- Pick semaglutide, choose a plan, and complete the health intake.
- Add a card for a hold. Effecty only charges it once a provider writes your prescription.
- Expect a provider to reach out within 24 hours in Effecty's secure chat.
- The pharmacy ships by free two-day delivery. Effecty allows up to 5 to 7 business days after the prescription.
- Stay in touch with your provider by message for dose changes while the plan is active.
What's good, what isn't
What's good
- Effecty's semaglutide is $170 a month on the monthly plan, with no separate membership.
- The FAQ says a declined patient isn't charged, because the card is only held until a prescription is written.
- Semaglutide ships to every state, according to Effecty's FAQ.
What isn't
- The compounding pharmacy behind Effecty's semaglutide goes unnamed on its site.
- You cancel by emailing support with "Cancel my account" in the subject, not from a dashboard.
- No insurance help: Effecty staff won't speak with insurers about claims, denials or prior authorizations.
Read these terms first
- Discounted first month
- The lowest starting figure on the semaglutide page includes a first-month discount. The monthly plan renews at $170 after that.
- Cancel before the pharmacy step
- An order can be fully canceled only before it goes to the pharmacy. After that, canceling stops later shipments.

Common questions about Effecty
- Is Effecty legit for semaglutide?
- Effecty LLC is a telehealth platform. Independent licensed providers make every prescribing decision, and state-licensed pharmacies dispense the medication. The semaglutide is compounded, so it isn't Wegovy or Ozempic, and Effecty's own pages say it isn't FDA-approved.
- How much does Effecty semaglutide cost?
- $170 a month on the monthly plan, at any dose. Supplies, free shipping and provider support are included. The 3-, 6- and 12-month plans lower the monthly rate in exchange for paying per term.
- Does Effecty accept insurance?
- It doesn't. You pay directly, with a card, HSA or FSA funds, or through Affirm or Klarna. You can file your own receipt with your insurer, with no promise of reimbursement.
- How do I cancel Effecty?
- Send support an email with "Cancel my account" as the subject. Do it before the prescription reaches the pharmacy to cancel the order itself.
