Compounded semaglutide
Maximus review
On a month-to-month basis, Maximus charges $250 for compounded semaglutide. Commit to a longer plan and the rate falls, with $116 a month as the floor it advertises. The same flat rate applies whatever dose your doctor settles on.
Is it right for you?
Worth a look if
- You might later want brand-name Wegovy or Ozempic, since Maximus prescribes both paths.
- You're transferring a semaglutide prescription and have records of your current dose.
- You want free shipping in unmarked packaging and a doctor you can message.
Skip it if
- Your address is in Louisiana, Mississippi or Alabama.
- You want the advertised low rate without a long commitment.
- You need to know which pharmacy compounds your vial before you pay.
What's included
Semaglutide at Maximus comes as a vial with syringes for a weekly injection. Licensed U.S. compounding pharmacies prepare it, and Maximus says it uses the base molecule rather than semaglutide sodium or acetate.
There are no membership fees. The plan pays for the medication, messaging with your doctor and free priority delivery. Maximus also prescribes brand-name pens and says you can move between compounded and brand-name treatment as your needs change.
From sign-up to refills
- Start the evaluation online. It's a short set of health questions with no waiting room.
- A board-certified physician decides whether semaglutide is right for you. A declined applicant gets back everything except the consultation cost.
- Transferring from another prescriber? Share documentation of your prior GLP-1 use so the doctor can pick a suitable starting dose.
- Choose monthly or a longer plan in the app, then the pharmacy ships to your door.
What's good, what isn't
What's good
- Maximus prices semaglutide flat, so a higher dose doesn't raise the $250 monthly rate.
- You can switch between compounded semaglutide and brand-name Wegovy under the same Maximus doctors.
- Payment options include HSA or FSA cards and Klarna installments.
What isn't
- Month to month costs $250; the $116 figure needs a longer Maximus plan.
- Residents of Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi can't enroll in the Maximus weight loss protocol.
- Maximus Health received an FDA warning letter in June 2026 citing false or misleading claims.
