Quick answer
Compounded semaglutide is published at $499 for 90 days, approximately $166 per month within that price. Compounded tirzepatide is published from $699 for 90 days, approximately $233 per month within that price. These are not separate monthly purchases. Enter a brand cash price you were actually quoted; the result is an estimated difference, not guaranteed savings.
Important: Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide are not FDA-approved and are not brand-identical. Eligibility and results vary.

Illustrative daily purchaseUser-dependent
Published semaglutide price$499/90 days
$499 is the published 90-day compounded semaglutide price, approximately $166 per month within that package. It is not a standalone monthly purchase. Eligibility, prescribing, dispensing, and total cost vary.
How the Math Works
Move the slider to match the brand-name cash-pay price you've been quoted, pick semaglutide or tirzepatide, and the calculator compares your monthly brand-price input with the monthly equivalent of the selected 90-day clinic package. It also calculates the exact difference for 90 days and 12 months using four 90-day clinic packages per year.
Published pricing is a one-time $119 physician review, then $499 for 90 days of compounded semaglutide or from $699 for 90 days of compounded tirzepatide. The approximate monthly equivalents are $166 and $233 within those 90-day prices, not separate monthly purchases. HSA and FSA payments are accepted subject to applicable rules; insurance is not billed.
Estimate Your Savings
Still weighing it after seeing the math? That is exactly what the $199 one-month Skeptics' Trial is for: one physician-reviewed month, no auto-renewal, before any 90-day commitment.
Frequently asked questions
How much can I save vs brand-name Ozempic or Wegovy?
Enter the cash price you were actually quoted. For compounded semaglutide, the calculator compares three months of that input with the published $499 90-day package and compares 12 months with four $499 packages. It does not include the $119 physician-review fee, insurance, discounts, financing costs, shipping, taxes, pharmacy charges, or future price changes.
Is the cheaper compounded option the same as the brand?
The dispensing pharmacy label identifies the exact compounded preparation. It is a different product from FDA-approved brand products, is not FDA-approved or brand-identical, and results vary. Any prescription requires Dr. Sharma's review and depends on lawful pharmacy fulfillment for the patient's location. The calculator estimates cost only.
Does the price include the medication?
The $119 fee covers a one-time physician review. A prescription is a separate clinical decision. Medication is billed separately at $499 for 90 days of compounded semaglutide or from $699 for 90 days of compounded tirzepatide. HSA and FSA payments are accepted subject to applicable rules. Cherry, Klarna, or Affirm financing may be available; approval, costs, and terms are set by the third-party provider.
