Compounded semaglutide
PeterMD review
Semaglutide at PeterMD is sold as a GLP-1 Weight Loss Subscription marked down to $270. Expect to pay $281, because checkout tacks on a service fee the product page never shows. That one figure holds at every dose, and PeterMD folds the medication, supplies, shipping and clinician access into it.
Is it right for you?
Worth a look if
- You want the same monthly charge from your first dose to your highest one.
- You like having meal plans, exercise plans and an app bundled in.
- You'd use unlimited clinician access for questions between refills.
Skip it if
- You live in Alabama, Arkansas, California, Hawaii, Idaho, Michigan, North Carolina or Texas, where the subscription isn't sold.
- You want a refund option. PeterMD won't take back or refund medication once it has arrived.
What's included
The subscription page promises no insurance hassle, no waitlist and no hidden fees. Even so, the order summary adds a service fee of about 4%, which is how $270 becomes $281. Shipping is free. The injectable GLP-1 is for home use, and the page says the price stays the same at all doses.
Doctor consults, supplies, free meal plans and exercise plans come with it. So does the PeterMD app or web portal for refills and records. PeterMD fills GLP-1s only through U.S. pharmacies, and a partner clinician decides whether a compounded medication is appropriate. Its GLP-1 program page says the medication is compounded with B12.
PeterMD also sells two prepaid GLP-1 bundles that cost less per month. They cover estimated multi-week supplies, one for first-time users and one for returning users, and are paid in full up front.
From sign-up to refills
- Add the GLP-1 Weight Loss Subscription to your cart and check the order summary, where the service fee appears.
- Complete checkout and the health questions. A partner clinician decides whether semaglutide is right for you.
- If it's prescribed, the medication and supplies ship to your door from a U.S. pharmacy.
- The subscription renews on its own. Refills, records and your meal plan live in the app or web portal.
