Compounded semaglutide
Maves review
Maves sells compounded semaglutide on one monthly plan that renews at $189 after a discounted first month. Shipping is free and there's no membership fee. The brand leans toward men who lift, so its semaglutide page talks as much about keeping muscle as losing fat.
Is it right for you?
Worth a look if
- You want one monthly plan with no prepay and no longer term to choose between.
- You train and want a clinician who plans around keeping lean mass during a cut.
- You'd like to pay with an HSA or FSA card.
Skip it if
- You want to know exactly which pharmacy will fill your vial before you pay.
- You might want to send an unused order back, since Maves treats prescription sales as final.
What's included
The Maves semaglutide page lists a single Monthly Plan. The first month is discounted automatically at checkout, and every month after that costs $189. Free expedited shipping, clinician messaging around the clock and no membership fee are part of the plan.
Your vial may include vitamin B12 or L-carnitine, depending on what the prescriber decides for you. Maves says its medications come from licensed U.S. pharmacies and go through third-party testing for purity and potency. The site doesn't name the pharmacy.
Maves is a brand run by Homera Health LLC, a technology company that doesn't practice medicine. The prescribers work for affiliated groups, including Beluga Health, P.A. and Keeva Medical Group.
From sign-up to refills
- Fill in the online health questionnaire. Maves says it takes about two minutes.
- A licensed provider reviews your answers and, if semaglutide suits you, writes a dosing plan that usually starts low and steps up.
- The pharmacy prepares the order within 2 to 3 business days. Maves quotes 4 to 12 business days for delivery.
- After that, the plan renews each month. You can message your clinician at any time to adjust the dose or ask about side effects.
What's good, what isn't
What's good
- Maves keeps semaglutide to one Monthly Plan, so there's no prepaid bundle to decode.
- HSA and FSA cards work, and the semaglutide page lists no membership fee.
- Prescribers can add ondansetron (Zofran) for nausea if you need it.
What isn't
- The Maves semaglutide page never names the pharmacy that compounds the vials.
- The Maves return policy says every prescription sale is final.
- Delivery can take up to 12 business days by Maves's own estimate, on top of order processing.
Read these terms first
- The price after month one
- The discounted first month applies once. Budget for $189 a month from the second order on.
- Canceling
- Cancel in the patient portal at any time, with no contract or cancellation fee. An order already processed or sent to the pharmacy still goes out, so cancel before the next renewal.
- What's in the vial
- Ask the provider whether your prescription includes B12 or L-carnitine, since the formula varies from patient to patient.
