Gimme Care
Genuinely cheap on both molecules ($130 / $163) with a LegitScript-certified pharmacy and all-50-state reach.
Why it's a deal
- Low flat price on both molecules ($130 sema / $163 tirz)
- LegitScript-certified pharmacy
- Available in all 50 states
The fine print
- No brand-name option — compounded only
- No oral/sublingual form
Nova MD
Nova MD is a telehealth platform offering compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide on 1-month and 3-month plans, with an uncommon explicit microdose program for both molecules.
Why it's a deal
- On-page pricing published for all four SKUs (semaglutide and tirzepatide, 1- and 3-month)
- $125/mo semaglutide and $199/mo tirzepatide 3-month plans rank among the cheapest in the market
- $50 off first tirzepatide order shown publicly
- Explicit microdose / low-dose program for both semaglutide and tirzepatide
- Broader menu (sermorelin, NAD+, glutathione, enclomiphene) for longevity alongside GLP-1
The fine print
- Legal entity name and state of incorporation not disclosed
- Compounding pharmacy not named — only 'accredited facilities'
- LegitScript certification not confirmed (only 'Licensed US Providers' claims)
- Per-state availability not listed
- Compounded only — no brand-name Wegovy, Zepbound, Mounjaro, or Ozempic
