Compounded semaglutide
Lemonaid Health review
Lemonaid Health's compounded semaglutide works out to $348 a month on the monthly option. That's $299 for the medication, billed separately, plus a required weight loss membership. The formula includes vitamin B12, and the membership covers provider check-ins and a yearly lab order.
Is it right for you?
Worth a look if
- You want semaglutide with added B12 as the standard formula.
- You'd like a gentler start on semaglutide microdoses, which Lemonaid prices below the regular dose.
- You want brand-name Wegovy available from the same provider as a fallback, though it costs far more.
- You pay with an FSA or HSA card.
Skip it if
- You're under 18 or over 75, or have a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma.
- You want a price with no membership. Lemonaid requires one for every treatment option.
What's included
The monthly bill has two parts: $299 for semaglutide, charged separately, and the weight loss membership. A 3-month plan lowers the medication price. The microdose version is cheaper still.
Lemonaid says its semaglutide is made in State Board of Pharmacy licensed sterile compounding pharmacies that are FDA-inspected 503(b) outsourcing facilities. It's the base form, not the sodium or acetate salt versions. You inject it once a week.
Membership brings provider check-ins as your dose increases and secure messaging for non-urgent side effects. It also includes one Quest lab order a year that looks at metabolism biomarkers.
From sign-up to refills
- Fill in the intake on your health, medications and weight goals.
- Book a consultation call with a provider during that intake.
- The provider decides whether semaglutide suits you and sets a schedule that begins at a low dose.
- Your prescription goes to the pharmacy and the membership starts. Delivery is free and discreet.
- Renewal visits continue as your dose rises, then settle into regular check-ins at maintenance.
What's good, what isn't
What's good
- Lemonaid's semaglutide includes vitamin B12 in the standard formula.
- Semaglutide microdoses give a cheaper, gentler start than the regular Lemonaid dose.
- Moving up a dose costs nothing extra under Lemonaid's pricing terms.
What isn't
- The $299 semaglutide price leaves out the required membership, so a real month is $348.
- Every Lemonaid fee is non-refundable, and partly used services aren't refunded either.
- Lab testing isn't available yet in NY, NJ, RI or HI, so members there lose that part.
Read these terms first
- Paying without insurance
- Lemonaid can't bill insurance for the membership, medication or medical fees. Ask your FSA or HSA administrator whether both charges qualify.
- Stopping
- Cancel in your account at least 48 hours before the next refill or billing date. The membership runs to the end of its current period.
- Where it's offered
- Weight loss treatment isn't available in every state yet. The intake confirms whether it reaches you.
