Brand-name vs compounded GLP-1s
How to choose a GLP-1 program
Check whether you may be eligible
Weight management GLP-1s are generally labeled for adults with a BMI of 30 or more, or 27 or more with a weight-related condition. A clinician makes the final call.
- Know your BMI and any weight-related conditions
- List your current medications and medical history
- Not for people with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer or MEN 2
TipUse our BMI calculator before you book a consultation.
Use the BMI calculator
Check your insurance first
If your plan covers Wegovy or Zepbound, that is usually the cheapest route. Many plans need prior authorization.
- Check your plan formulary for Wegovy and Zepbound
- Ask whether prior authorization is required
- If commercially insured, look at manufacturer savings programs
TipIf coverage is denied, you can usually appeal the decision.

Compare the real monthly cost
Add medication, membership and visit fees together, and check whether the price rises with your dose.
- Add medication, membership, visit and shipping fees
- Check whether the price rises as your dose increases
- Watch for 3, 6 or 12 month plans billed upfront
TipRun the numbers in our GLP-1 cost calculator.

Talk to a licensed clinician
Whichever route you choose, a clinician should review your history, current medications and risks before prescribing.
- A clinician licensed in your state
- A review of your health history and current medications
- Follow-up visits as your dose changes
TipBe wary of any program that prescribes without reviewing your history.
How we review programs
Start low and follow up
Most GLP-1s start at a low dose and increase gradually to limit side effects. Stay in touch with your clinician, track how you feel, and review your total cost after the first few months.
- Expect gradual dose increases, as your clinician directs
- Report persistent nausea, vomiting or stomach pain
- Pair treatment with enough protein and strength training
TipNever change your dose without talking to your prescriber.
