Compounded semaglutide
Fridays review
Compounded semaglutide at Fridays runs $149 a month on the pay-as-you-go Monthly Auto-Refill. The lower $117 belongs to the 12 Month Supply, and the 3 Month Supply saves nothing over paying monthly. What sets Fridays apart is the support bundled in: a dietitian, coaching and group sessions.
Is it right for you?
Worth a look if
- You want a dietitian and mental health coaching alongside the prescription.
- You'd use live workouts and support groups rather than go it alone.
- You want the option to move to brand-name Wegovy or Ozempic with the same company later.
Skip it if
- You expected a short commitment to cut the price, since the 3 Month Supply matches the Monthly rate.
- You want a refund if you stop partway through a paid month.
- You'd rather cancel on the day your card is charged without paying for another cycle.
What's included
Fridays calls these Signature Plans: medication, coaching and care, with the membership included free. That covers unlimited provider visits, one-on-one dietitian support, nutrition and mental health coaching, live Zoom workouts and support groups.
Semaglutide comes in four plan lengths. Monthly Auto-Refill and the 3 Month Supply both cost $149 a month, the 6 Month Supply a little less, and the 12 Month Supply $117. Tirzepatide on Monthly Auto-Refill is $259.
Clinicians from OpenLoop Healthcare Partners, PC decide whether to prescribe. Four partner pharmacies fill orders, among them Health Warehouse in Kentucky and Precision Medicine in New York.
From sign-up to refills
- Answer a short quiz on your goals and medical background.
- Pick compounded semaglutide and a plan length at checkout, where a first-payment code may appear.
- A provider reviews your answers and builds your treatment plan.
- A partner pharmacy dispenses and ships the semaglutide.
- Track doses and message your provider in the Fridays portal while refills renew automatically.
What's good, what isn't
What's good
- One-on-one dietitian support and mental health coaching are included with Fridays' semaglutide at no added fee.
- Under "Forever Pricing," a provider-directed dose change leaves your enrolled price where it was.
- Fridays also prescribes brand-name Wegovy and Ozempic, so a switch doesn't mean a new company.
What isn't
- Fridays' 3 Month Supply of semaglutide costs $149 a month, no less than the Monthly Auto-Refill.
- Stop partway through a paid month and Fridays refunds nothing for the unused part of that cycle.
- Cancel less than 72 hours before billing and Fridays charges one more semaglutide cycle.
Read these terms first
- Keeping your price
- Canceling forfeits the locked price for good. So does asking on your own to change dose, plan length or product.
- Your bank statement
- The charge appears as OpenLoop Healthcare Partners PC rather than Fridays.
- First payment only
- A discount at checkout applies to the first payment. Renewals come at the plan's regular monthly figure.

Common questions about Fridays
