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

  • One of very few telehealth providers offering liraglutide, which suits people who cannot tolerate weekly dosing or who need a shorter-acting GLP-1
  • No price increase as your dose rises: "we keep our prices as low as possible and don't increase prices for high doses"
  • Free consultation, prescription, ongoing support and shipping are all bundled into the programme price
  • Free overnight, temperature-controlled shipping - genuine cold-chain handling rather than "ships fast"
  • An injection kit with spare syringes is included in every shipment
  • Anti-nausea medication is included with your first order, which is a thoughtful touch given how common GI side effects are
  • 24/7 access to board-certified doctor support is advertised
  • You can cancel any time before your order ships, and there is a full refund if the providers decide you are not a fit for the programme
  • A $100 discount on the first month of weight-loss treatment

Cons

  • Expensive, and it gets more expensive: $299 for the first month, then $349/month thereafter
  • The alternative framing - "starter doses as low as $9.97/day" - is a per-day figure that works out to roughly $300 a month, which is not obviously cheap
  • Liraglutide is a daily injection and produced around 8% mean weight loss in the SCALE trial, meaningfully less than semaglutide or tirzepatide achieved in theirs
  • The medication is compounded and not FDA-approved
  • The refund guarantee only covers being declined - there is no satisfaction refund once you are on treatment
  • The dispensing pharmacy is not named
  • No insurance billing, and HSA/FSA acceptance is not stated
  • No published phone number
