The cheapest way to get GLP-1 online
If insurance covers your GLP-1, a telehealth provider that runs your benefits and any prior authorization is usually the cheapest path. Without coverage, the lowest FDA-approved cash routes are manufacturer self-pay: Zepbound direct from Lilly at $299/month at the starter dose ($449/month at maintenance if you keep the 45-day refill schedule), and Wegovy via NovoCare at about $349/month maintenance ($199/month introductory). Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide were the budget online route during the shortage, but the shortage is over, compounding is restricted, and compounded products are not FDA-approved. See the full ranking in our cheapest GLP-1 guide and self-pay price reference.
How to buy GLP-1 online safely
Use a licensed US telehealth provider and a licensed pharmacy — that is the whole safety test. Warning signs of an unsafe seller: no prescription or consultation required, prices far below everyone else, shipping from overseas, payment only in gift cards or crypto, or a pharmacy you can't verify. For compounded GLP-1, only use a provider that names a US-licensed 503A/503B pharmacy, and read the risks in our compounded safety guide. You can check any pharmacy at our pharmacy-safety checker.
