Ondra Health
The cheapest flat semaglutide sticker we track ($93) — LegitScript-certified, all 50 states, and it still offers brand-name access.
Why it's a deal
- Lowest disclosed flat semaglutide price in the roster ($93/mo) — no teaser step-up
- LegitScript-certified and available in all 50 states
- Offers FDA-approved brand-name access alongside compounded
- Tirzepatide is competitive too at $166/mo
The fine print
- Newer name with a shorter public track record than the established flat-fee brands
- No oral/sublingual route for the needle-averse
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
