Gala review

By ·Editor·Updated

Compounded semaglutide at Gala runs $249 a month on the Monthly Plan, and that covers every dose from the 0.25 mg start upward. Nothing is added for membership or shipping. Gala calls semaglutide its more affordable option, and tirzepatide costs $299 on the same plan.

Is it right for you?

Worth a look if

  • You'd like a month-to-month plan before deciding on a 12-week or yearly commitment.
  • You want the cheaper of Gala's two injectables, at one price for every dose.
  • You want doctor questions answered in an app chat rather than at booked appointments.

Skip it if

  • You want money back for a month you stop partway through, which Gala doesn't give.
  • You tend to cancel close to a renewal date, since Gala needs 72 hours' notice.

What's included

Each monthly shipment is a 4-week supply of compounded semaglutide, one shot a week. Treatment begins at 0.25 mg and steps up gradually. A higher dose carries no extra charge, so the bill stays at $249.

To decide whether a longer commitment is worth it, compare how RxSpan MD bills its prepaid supply and how SkinnyRx charges for longer bundles.

The plan bundles a home injection kit, free expedited shipping, 24/7 customer support and unlimited free doctor consults. Gala doesn't provide the medical care itself. Clinicians at affiliated practices, OpenLoop-affiliated groups among them, write the prescriptions.

Gala says its compounded semaglutide uses ingredients from FDA-regulated suppliers and is prepared by licensed compounding pharmacies. It is not an FDA-approved drug. Brand-name Ozempic is sold separately on Gala's site, at a much higher price.

The provider price index puts Gala’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 RxSpan MD review and the SkinnyRx review cover the sellers nearest in recorded price; we may earn a commission from those sellers. If the charge changes, the monthly cost calculator converts the new quote using its billing interval. Use the full amount due, including any required fee.

From sign-up to refills

  1. Start with the free online assessment on Gala's site.
  2. At checkout, select semaglutide, then choose between the 3-month, 12-month and Monthly plans.
  3. Pay for the first month. Gala charges nothing if you aren't prescribed.
  4. A licensed provider reviews your answers. Some states need a video visit for the first session, while others allow online messaging.
  5. Once you're prescribed, the order ships within 48 hours. Follow-ups and dose changes move to the Gala chat.

What's good, what isn't

What's good

  • One monthly semaglutide price from the 0.25 mg start through every higher dose Gala prescribes.
  • Gala puts unlimited free doctor consults and 24/7 support inside the $249 Monthly Plan.
  • HSA and FSA cards work at Gala's checkout, and buy now, pay later is offered.

What isn't

  • If you cancel, Gala keeps the charge; refunds apply only to a medical disqualification.
  • The Monthly Plan costs more per month than Gala's 3-month or yearly semaglutide plans.
  • Gala doesn't name the pharmacy that fills semaglutide, only a network covering 50 states.
