Do I need a prescription?
Yes. Compounded prices on this list already include the telehealth provider. For brand-name options, NovoCare Pharmacy and LillyDirect fill a prescription from any licensed prescriber. Telehealth services such as Ro and Hims also prescribe these brand-name drugs at the same prices, plus a membership that starts at $39 for the first month and then runs $74 to $149 a month.
I have insurance or Medicare. Should I use these prices?
Check your coverage first. If your plan covers the drug, manufacturer savings cards can bring it as low as $25 a month. If you have Medicare Part D, ask about the Medicare GLP-1 Bridge program, which Lilly says can bring Foundayo to $50 a month for eligible members.
What should I check if I choose compounded?
Ask which pharmacy makes your medication and look it up on your state board of pharmacy's license search. Before your first dose, have the pharmacist confirm the vial's strength and how many units to draw, and use the syringe they send.
How often are prices checked?
Every week, straight from the drugmakers' self-pay pages and each provider's own website. Prices can still change, so confirm yours before you pay.
How does this site make money?
Some links may be paid links. Each one is labeled "Paid link" right next to it, and payments never change which options appear or how they rank. More on how we make money
