The math on prescription weight loss medications is brutal.

Brand-name Wegovy: $1,300 per month. That's $15,600 annually.

Most insurance won't cover it, and even when they do, copays can hit $500-1,000 monthly.

That's why telehealth companies offering compounded semaglutide (the same active ingredient) for $179-299/month have exploded in popularity.

Here's what you need to know: Compounded versions are NOT FDA-approved and haven't undergone the same testing as brand-name drugs.

Quality control standards differ. Real-world results show 2-5% average weight loss (vs. 15% in clinical trials with intensive support).

But for many women, it's the only financially realistic option for accessing medical weight loss treatment.

MEDVi offers:

  • Online consultations with licensed physicians

  • Prescription medications delivered to your door

  • 24/7 doctor messaging support

  • $179 first month, $299/month after

This isn't the same as brand-name Wegovy.

But it's legitimate medical supervision at a price point that's actually accessible... $3,588/year vs $15,600/year.

If cost has been the barrier keeping you from exploring medical weight loss, this might be worth a conversation with a licensed physician.
