The gap between Coby's two product pages is instructive. One publishes everything; the other publishes the structure and omits the numbers.
What is stated about compounded semaglutide: it is a GLP-1 receptor agonist, you can choose monthly billing with cancel anytime or a multi-month plan, and an at-home injection kit with alcohol pads and syringes is included. No membership fee or subscription is required.
What is not stated on the page we reviewed: what any of it costs at any dose.
What the tirzepatide page implies
Coby prices tirzepatide by dose — $239 at 2.5 mg climbing to $439 at 12.5 mg. Nothing indicates it treats semaglutide differently, and the plan structures described are identical. The safest assumption is a comparable escalation across the semaglutide ladder from 0.25 mg to 2.4 mg.
Several FAQ answers on the tirzepatide page — including the semaglutide-specific ones about subscriptions, injection technique and FDA approval — are still unreplaced Lorem ipsum placeholder text, which suggests the semaglutide line is less finished than the tirzepatide one.
Where to look instead
For published, dose-flat semaglutide: CoreAge Rx at $79 a month with no membership, Ondra Health at $149 monthly or $96 prepaid annually with named pharmacies, or Mochi at $60 medication on a $79 membership with a fully published price list.

Figures are the providers' own published prices as of our last review of each. Promotional rates, multi-month prepayment and dose changes can all move these numbers — confirm at checkout.
What compounded semaglutide actually is
Semaglutide is the active ingredient in Ozempic and Wegovy, both FDA-approved products from Novo Nordisk. A compounded version is prepared by a pharmacy rather than manufactured by Novo Nordisk, and it is not an FDA-approved product. FDA has not evaluated it for safety, effectiveness or quality.
That distinction is the single most important thing to understand before buying. The efficacy data you have read about — the 15% average body-weight reduction, the cardiovascular outcomes — comes from trials of the branded product. Those results are routinely used to sell compounded versions that were never in the trials.
Dosing typically starts at 0.25 mg weekly and escalates over several months toward a maintenance dose, which is why dose-dependent pricing matters so much: a plan that looks cheap at the starting dose can cost several times more by the time you reach a therapeutic one.
The common side effects are gastrointestinal — nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, constipation — and are usually worst in the days after a dose increase. They are the main reason people stop. Slower titration and adequate fibre and fluid intake are the standard mitigations.
Before you buy from anyone
- Get the total monthly cost in writing — medication plus any membership, not the headline figure.
- Ask whether the price changes as your dose increases. This is where most of the money is lost.
- Ask which pharmacy compounds it, and whether it is a 503A or 503B facility.
- Confirm what happens if you stop after one month, and whether there is an auto-rebill.
- Ask whether a refund is available if a provider declines to prescribe.
- Tell the prescriber every medication and supplement you take, including anything bought online.
