Compounded semaglutide
Yucca Health review
Compounded semaglutide at Yucca Health costs $146 a month if you want to stay flexible, and the card is charged only once a prescription exists. The eye-catching $125 a month belongs to a six-month plan paid in one go. Consultation, the injection kit and 2-day delivery are all inside the monthly charge.
Is it right for you?
Worth a look if
- You'd rather not commit to months of semaglutide before you know how you tolerate it.
- You want a price that won't rise as you step up from 0.25 mg toward 2.5 mg.
- You'd like the option to pause treatment without losing the rate you signed up at.
Skip it if
- The lowest possible monthly figure matters most and you're ready to prepay half a year.
- You need medication delivered on a weekend, since orders ship Monday to Friday only.
What's included
Each month's charge includes the clinician visit, compounded semaglutide once it's prescribed, an injection kit with written directions, and expedited shipping at no cost. Yucca adds no consultation fee and no membership fee. Messaging with the provider continues for as long as the plan runs.
The standard schedule starts at 0.25 mg a week and holds each step for at least four weeks. It moves through 0.5 mg, 1 mg and 1.5 mg to 2.5 mg from month five. Yucca's plan terms say a locked price covers that whole range.
Prescriptions come from licensed clinicians working through provider groups Yucca partners with. A licensed U.S. pharmacy fills them, and its name is printed on your label and in the patient portal. You may ask to send the prescription elsewhere, and Yucca says it will try to accommodate that.
From sign-up to refills
- Answer questions about your health, medications and goals. The site offers the whole process in English or Spanish.
- Choose monthly, three-month or six-month billing. Your card gets an authorization hold, which your bank releases in 3 to 7 business days if you aren't prescribed.
- A clinician reviews the intake, typically within a day. Lab work or a visit is requested only when it's clinically needed.
- After approval you're charged, and the pharmacy compounds and ships within 2 to 3 business days by UPS 2-day service.
- Refills renew on the cadence you picked. Yucca sends a reminder before each renewal and starts processing several days ahead of delivery.
What's good, what isn't
What's good
- The monthly plan carries no contract, and Yucca includes the consultation and injection kit in $146.
- Pausing stops charges indefinitely while keeping the rate you enrolled at, which Yucca calls Locked Pricing.
- A 6-Month Promise refunds medication, consultation and plan fees if logged weight shows no loss after 26 weeks.
What isn't
- The $125 rate Yucca advertises requires paying for six months of semaglutide in a single charge.
- An order becomes final at Yucca the moment a prescription is issued, even if the vial hasn't shipped.
- Damaged or missing packages must be reported to Yucca within 48 hours of delivery.
Read these terms first
- Cancel with a week to spare
- Renewals are prepared ahead of time, so cancel at least 7 days before the renewal date. Charges already processed are not refunded.
- Switching plans resets the price
- Moving between monthly, three-month and six-month billing, or switching to tirzepatide, starts a new plan at whatever pricing applies then.
- Pausing and the promise
- A pause protects your locked price but ends eligibility for the 6-Month Promise, which needs six continuous months.

Common questions about Yucca Health
- Is Yucca Health legit?
- Yes, it operates as a telehealth platform. It doesn't practice medicine or run a pharmacy; licensed clinicians and licensed U.S. pharmacies do that. Yucca notes that compounded semaglutide isn't FDA-approved and isn't the same as Wegovy or Ozempic.
- How much does Yucca Health semaglutide cost a month?
- $146 on the monthly plan. The six-month plan works out to $125 a month but is billed as one payment every six months. Yucca says either price stays the same at every dose.
- Does Yucca Health accept insurance?
- No. Yucca is cash-pay and doesn't bill insurers, Medicare or Medicaid. Ask your plan administrator whether HSA or FSA money can be used.
- What happens if Yucca Health doesn't approve me?
- You pay nothing. The hold on your card is released, and anything already collected, including the consultation fee, is refunded automatically.
