Compounded semaglutide
GobyMeds review
One month of compounded semaglutide from GobyMeds costs $169, whatever dose your provider sets. The $99 a month you'll see across its site belongs to a 12-week starter bundle, paid upfront and open to first-time patients only. There's no plan to cancel, since GobyMeds sells each order on its own.
Is it right for you?
Worth a look if
- You're on a higher dose and want a monthly price that doesn't climb with it.
- You'd rather buy a month at a time than commit to a subscription.
- You may later switch to tirzepatide, which GobyMeds also sells from about $145 a month.
Skip it if
- You want refills to arrive on their own without placing a new order.
- You need insurance to pay for your medication.
What's included
GobyMeds' pricing page lists the single month at $169 for any dosage. That covers the medication, the prescription and free shipping. The site promises no membership fee and no subscription on top.
Longer supplies are sold as bundles. A 2-month bundle costs one price at any dose. The 12-week bundles are priced in three dose bands: 0.2 to 0.4 mg, up to 0.6 to 1.5 mg, and 1.9 to 2.3 mg. First-timers can take the starter bundle, which begins at the lowest dose and titrates up.
A licensed provider from an independent medical group reviews your intake. Approved prescriptions go to one of GobyMeds' 503A or 503B pharmacy partners licensed in your state. The medication arrives cold-packed and needs to stay refrigerated between 36°F and 46°F.
From sign-up to refills
- Answer GobyMeds' short questionnaire about your goals and health history.
- A licensed provider looks it over and decides whether semaglutide is appropriate. You'll see the price before you commit.
- The prescription goes to a partner pharmacy, and the medication ships free to your door, in as little as 3 days by GobyMeds' estimate.
- Reorder from the self-serve patient portal when you need more. Nothing ships unless you order it.
What's good, what isn't
What's good
- The single month is $169 at any semaglutide dose, including the 1.9 to 2.3 mg range.
- There's no subscription at GobyMeds to forget about, because every order is a one-time purchase.
- HSA and FSA cards are accepted, and support can supply a letter of medical necessity.
What isn't
- The $99 headline is the 12-week starter bundle, limited to first-time patients.
- GobyMeds' FAQ says prescriptions are final sale, so a shipped vial can't be refunded.
- Additives such as B6, B12, NAD+ or glycine may go into your vial at the provider's discretion.
