Compounded semaglutide
Livea review
Livea's compounded semaglutide starts at $99 a month, but it's billed apart from a required monthly membership. Together they come to about $168 a month at the starting dose. That membership pays for something most online sellers skip: regular visits with a physician or nurse practitioner, InBody scans and nutrition coaching.

What's included
Semaglutide starts at $99 a month, and the exact cost depends on your dose and dosing frequency. The membership is a separate monthly charge. Livea says it covers regular provider appointments, health coaching, InBody body-composition scans, nutrition guidance and plan adjustments. Exact pricing is set at your consultation.
Livea Medical, PLLC is a physician-owned practice managed by Minnesota Weight Control, Inc., which trades as Livea. It runs clinics in Apple Valley, Coon Rapids, Edina, Minnetonka, Roseville and St. Cloud. Telehealth visits are also offered, and prescriptions can ship to your home or go to a local pharmacy.
Medication comes from licensed, accredited compounding pharmacies, which Livea doesn't name. Brand-name Wegovy is also available and may be covered by some insurance plans. Livea also offers a lower-dose microdosing protocol for maintenance or patients sensitive to side effects.
