Pros

  • Brand-name Wegovy and Ozempic bought direct from the manufacturer's own pharmacy, so there is no question about what is in the vial or the bottle
  • Published self-pay pricing: $149 per month for the Wegovy or Ozempic pill, and $199 per month for the pen
  • Free home delivery is included, and pharmacy pickup is also offered
  • The alternative to compounded semaglutide at a price that is now genuinely competitive with compounders
  • Patients with insurance may pay as little as $25 per month for up to 3 months under the published savings offer
  • If you do not already have a prescriber, NovoCare will connect you with one
  • Terms are published at WegovyTerms.com and NovoCarePharmacyTerms.com rather than hidden behind a signup flow

Cons

  • The $149 pill price is tied to specific doses: patients pay $149 for each month of 1.5 mg and 4 mg, and the 4 mg offer runs only until 31 August 2026, after which 4 mg is $199 per month
  • Novo Nordisk explicitly reserves the right to modify or cancel the programme at any time, so today's price is not a commitment
  • Eligibility and restrictions apply to the savings offers and are not spelled out on the pharmacy page itself
  • This is a dispensing pharmacy, not a weight-loss programme - there is no coaching, no dietitian and no app
  • Only Novo Nordisk products. If tirzepatide turns out to suit you better, you are in the wrong shop
  • No phone number or support email is published on the pharmacy page
  • The pharmacy operates as CoAssist Pharmacy d/b/a NovoCare Pharmacy, which is not obvious from the branding

Pros

  • Offers FDA-approved brand-name options alongside compounded ones: the Wegovy pill, Wegovy injection and Zepbound injection are all listed at '$99 membership + medication cost'
  • Trustpilot rating of 4.4 from over 14,000 reviews, a far larger and better sample than most competitors in this category
  • Free dietitian visits and care coaching are advertised as included, and the program is listed as HSA/FSA eligible
  • Both injectable and daily dissolvable tablet formats are offered
  • Clinical services run through OpenLoop Health, an established nationwide clinician network
  • Full refund if a provider disqualifies you, and a full refund if you cancel within the first 72 hours before receiving any services
  • The terms state plainly that compounded GLP-1s are 'not FDA-approved or evaluated for safety, efficacy, or quality'
  • Published cancellation route by email or in-portal chat, with a named support address

Cons

  • The FDA issued MEDVi a warning letter on February 20, 2026 for misbranding its compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide, including for labelling vials as though MEDVi compounded them when it does not, and for 'same active ingredient as Wegovy' style claims the agency said imply FDA approval. This is the most serious regulatory finding against any provider on this site
  • We could not verify what the compounded plans actually cost. The affiliate landing page renders its own price placeholders unsubstituted - the page literally reads 'Only ${seminject_sale_price}' and 'Starting at ${semtab_sale_price}' in eight places
  • The only price that does render, $99, is a membership fee that explicitly excludes the medication cost, so it is not comparable to the all-in prices quoted by other providers
  • The same page claims 'No membership or hidden fees!' while listing '$99 Membership + Medication Cost' for the brand-name options a few lines below
  • Patient counts contradict each other on one page: 'Join 500,000+ MEDVi patients' at the top, '10,000+ Patients Agree' further down
  • The customer testimonials are word-for-word identical to those published on TrimRx's landing page under the label 'Verified TrimRX Customer', so at least one set is not what it claims to be
  • Monthly subscribers get no refund for the month in which they cancel or for any prior month - the policy states this in capitals
  • The user agreement imposes mandatory arbitration and waives class action and jury trial rights
  • Cancellation must reach the company at least 72 hours before the next billing date or the next charge still goes through
