$169/mo (compounded)

No teaser step-up. Open Water prices all three routes in one line on its own homepage - $169 for injectable semaglutide, $219 for tirzepatide, $199 for the daily oral tablet - with no plan term attached to any of them and no insurance in the picture. It is one of the plainer price statements on this site.

How much does Open Water Rx cost?

The price Open Water Rx publishes is $169/mo (compounded). Tirzepatide is listed at $219/mo (compounded). That rate holds after the first month — there is no step-up we can find. That works out about 52% under the $349/mo brand-name self-pay price for Wegovy.

Why it's a deal

  • All three routes are priced on the homepage - $169 injectable semaglutide, $219 tirzepatide, $199 oral - rather than after an intake
  • A daily oral tablet is offered as a first-class option, not an afterthought, for anyone avoiding needles
  • Covers all 50 states with no insurance required
  • Every program is stated to include the online intake, the licensed provider review, the medication and discreet shipping

Read the fine print

  • Compounded only — no FDA-approved brand-name route
  • The compounding pharmacy is not named, and no 503A or 503B designation is given
  • No LegitScript or PCAB accreditation is displayed
  • The oral tablet costs $30 a month more than the injection it replaces, which is the reverse of how most programs price it

The bottom line

Best for: Someone who wants all three routes priced openly before handing over any details.
