Compounded semaglutide
Heros Health review
Month-to-month semaglutide from Heros Health costs $175, billed monthly, and the figure doesn't rise when your dose does. Paying for six months up front brings it down to $119 a month. You take the eligibility quiz without a card, and Heros says nothing is charged until a physician approves you.
Is it right for you?
Worth a look if
- You'd like three plan lengths to choose from, with the lowest rate on the six-month plan.
- You want to find out whether you qualify before handing over card details.
- Splitting the cost with a buy now, pay later option appeals to you.
Skip it if
- You want the six-month rate without paying for all six months in one charge.
- You need a clear written promise that a consultation fee comes back if you're turned down.
What's included
Heros lists compounded semaglutide on three plans. Monthly is $175 and billed each month. Quarterly is charged every three months, and the semi-annual plan works out to $119 a month, charged every six months. Heros promises the same price at every dose, with no hidden fees and free, discreet shipping.
A physician in Heros' partner clinical network reviews and signs each prescription. The site introduces Dr. Amber Patel and Dr. Scott Nass in family medicine and Dr. Scott Sanderson in emergency medicine. Your prescriber has to be licensed in your state.
The medication is compounded in the United States by 503A pharmacies working to USP <797> sterile standards. Heros says every batch is tested by a third party for purity and potency. Its pharmacy page names four dispensing partners, two of them in Florida.
From sign-up to refills
- Start with the 60-second eligibility quiz about your health and goals. No card is needed for this step.
- A licensed clinician looks over your answers, usually within 24 hours, and decides whether semaglutide suits you.
- Once you're approved, a 503A pharmacy ships the vial to your door, which Heros puts at 2 to 4 days.
- Your clinician schedules follow-ups to adjust the dose and check on side effects. You can message them directly between check-ins.
- The plan renews automatically at the end of each paid period until you cancel it in your account.
What's good, what isn't
What's good
- The Monthly plan stays at $175 whatever strength of semaglutide your physician prescribes.
- Paying for six months at once lowers semaglutide to $119 a month on the semi-annual plan.
- Heros names its pharmacies, including The Pharmacy Hub in Miami and Emerald Compounding Pharmacy in Tampa.
What isn't
- The $119 rate needs the semi-annual plan, charged as one payment every six months.
- Once dispensed, semaglutide can't be returned, since the Heros terms make every compounded prescription a final sale.
- Under the Heros terms, a consultation fee isn't refunded once a provider has reviewed your intake.
Read these terms first
- Two sets of plan prices
- The semaglutide product page lists Monthly at $175. Another Heros weight-loss page shows a first-month offer, a different monthly renewal and a pricier six-month plan. Check the plan screen before you pay.
- Refund wording
- The product page says you pay nothing if you don't qualify. The terms say consultation fees aren't refundable after review. Ask support which one covers your order.
- Canceling on time
- Cancel in your account settings or by email at least 48 hours before the renewal date. Treatment continues until the paid period ends.
