Nova MD

Shoppers who can prepay three months, which brings either drug down to $129 to $149 a month.

Reasons to consider it

  • Month-to-month and three-month prices are both printed before any intake: semaglutide $175 or $129 a month, tirzepatide $199, or $149 to $129 a month on three months
  • One monthly price covers the online visit, the medication and free overnight shipping, with no membership fee
  • LegitScript verification badge links to a working LegitScript record

What to weigh up

  • No compounding pharmacy is named for semaglutide, and tirzepatide names only Drug Crafters as one of two pharmacy options
  • No state-coverage list is published on its site
  • The lower $129 and $149 monthly figures need a three-month plan billed $387 or $447 up front; month to month it is $175 for semaglutide and $199 for tirzepatide

Regulatory note: the FDA issued a warning letter to Try Nova in September 2025. We still list and link to Nova MD; you should know the letter is on the public record before you decide.

Coby Health

Shoppers who want pay-as-you-go, per-dose pricing with no forced subscription and accept that the price rises with the dose.

Reasons to consider it

  • Genuine per-dose pricing transparency — every dose tier has its own published monthly price rather than one vague 'starting at' figure
  • No subscription requirement: 'cancel your monthly subscription anytime for a one-month supply'
  • Multi-month and titration-specific bundles are priced and disclosed up front, not hidden behind checkout

What to weigh up

  • The advertised low headline prices ('as low as $99/mo' semaglutide, '$179/mo' tirzepatide) apply only to the LOWEST starting dose on a 6-month bundle — real pay-as-you-go pricing at a typical mid-range dose is far higher
  • Coby Health is a marketplace, not a medical practice: its terms name the medical group, Beluga Health, P.A., but no medical director, prescriber or compounding pharmacy
  • No LegitScript certification

Compounded drugs are not FDA-approved. Understand the medication options.
