Compounded semaglutide
Kongo review
Compounded semaglutide at Kongo costs $119 a month once the first month is over, whatever dose you end up on. Nothing else is billed: no visit fee, no membership. You start with a short online form, and a provider usually answers within a day.
Is it right for you?
Worth a look if
- You want a low monthly figure that doesn't creep up with each dose increase.
- You'd prefer answering a form to sitting through a video appointment.
- You like the idea of pausing treatment for a while without losing your provider.
Skip it if
- You need to confirm the compounding pharmacy's name before ordering.
- You'd only sign up with a seller whose refund terms read the same everywhere.
What's included
Kongo's $119 buys a month of compounded semaglutide plus everything around it. A licensed provider reviews your intake and writes the prescription. The package includes syringes, alcohol wipes and written injection steps, and shipping is free.
Kongo's own answer on price is short: the figure you see is what you pay, with no platform charges. The FAQ adds that the price stays the same as the dose goes up. A three-month option costs less per month, but you pay for the whole quarter at checkout.
Kongo Health Inc. is the company behind the service. A U.S. compounding pharmacy prepares each order, and a team led by family physician Dr. Laurie J. Mercier oversees the clinical side.
From sign-up to refills
- Choose semaglutide on Kongo's site and complete the health form. A video visit is available if you ask, but it's never required.
- Most people get a decision from a licensed provider within 24 hours.
- The pharmacy prepares the order, and it usually lands 5 to 7 business days after approval, in a box with no branding.
- Month one stays at a low starting dose. From week five, the provider raises it gradually and checks in along the way.
- The plan renews each month. Message the clinical team in the Patient Portal to pause it, or cancel there.
What's good, what isn't
What's good
- One Kongo price covers every semaglutide dose, so a higher prescription doesn't raise your bill.
- Shipping, syringes and alcohol wipes are all inside the $119, with nothing extra to buy.
- A licensed Kongo provider usually reviews the four-minute form within 24 hours.
What isn't
- The discounted first month uses a Kongo promo code; every renewal after it costs the full $119.
- Kongo's terms call all prescription sales final, even though the site advertises a 30-day guarantee.
- Buyers aren't told which pharmacy compounds the semaglutide; Kongo describes it only as licensed in the U.S.
Read these terms first
- The guarantee
- The semaglutide page promises a full refund on your first order within 30 days. Kongo's terms say consult fees and dispensed medication aren't refundable. Get the conditions in writing from support first.
- Prepaying three months
- The quarterly plan lowers the monthly rate, but the full amount is charged at once. Pick it only if you're sure you'll stay on semaglutide.
- State rules
- Kongo's providers cover every state. Some states still ask for a short phone call before the prescription, and the intake flags it.

Common questions about Kongo
- Is Kongo legit?
- Yes, Kongo is a working telehealth company, Kongo Health Inc., with a LegitScript seal on its site. Licensed providers make each prescribing decision. Its semaglutide is compounded, so it isn't Wegovy or Ozempic and has no FDA approval, as Kongo's pages say.
- How much is Kongo semaglutide per month?
- It renews at $119 a month on the monthly plan, and the dose doesn't change the price. Kongo lists no membership, visit or shipping fee. A three-month plan is cheaper per month if you pay upfront.
- Does Kongo take insurance?
- No. Kongo is cash-pay only and doesn't bill insurance, so there's no prior authorization to wait on.
- Can you cancel Kongo?
- You can. Kongo has no long-term contract, and the Patient Portal handles both pausing and canceling. The clinical team can hold your protocol if you only need a break.
