Price transparency
What is disclosed before intake, not a clinical rating.
Novi offers a fully online evaluation for compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide, with medical visits and delivery described together. Its low quarterly prices are appealing, but the agreement deserves particular attention: the homepage offers month-to-month choices while the terms describe a three-month minimum commitment. Resolve that difference before paying, especially if you want to try treatment for only one month.
Novi does not pay us. We review it so you can compare it with the programs that do. Disclosure
Public offers are available, but a directly comparable ongoing month-to-month total is not established for both molecules. Read the plan and billing qualifications below.

The verdict
Public offers are available, but a directly comparable ongoing month-to-month total is not established for both molecules. Read the plan and billing qualifications below.
The score beside Novi's name rates how much it tells you before the medical intake — the price, the pharmacy and the terms — not how cheap it is.

What do you get with Novi?
- Online health assessment followed by an independent clinician’s review; completing the questionnaire does not guarantee a prescription.
- Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide injection options, with branded products listed separately at substantially different starting figures.
- Consultation, prescription coordination and shipping described within the offer, without a separate monthly membership advertised.
- A patient portal for account support and ongoing treatment questions. The actual dispensing pharmacy is identified with the order rather than guaranteed by the homepage.
How does Novi work?
Compare the two payment choices
The homepage describes ordinary monthly and quarterly prices. Before selecting either, ask whether the minimum term in the agreement applies and how much will be charged immediately. Save the complete order summary, including the medication, supply duration and next charge date. A payment button should not be your first clear explanation of the commitment.
Complete the medical assessment
Explain your health history, current medicines and any previous GLP-1 prescription to the clinician. The platform handles administration while independent providers make medical decisions. If you are transferring care, ask what documentation is required. A questionnaire result or advertised approval time does not establish that your specific medication or dose will be prescribed.
Identify the preparation and pharmacy
Ask which molecule, additional ingredients and pharmacy will be used, and confirm that the order can be dispensed to your state. Compounded preparations are not FDA-approved products. Product illustrations and testimonials cannot establish the actual contents of your vial or predict your results. Use the prescription label and pharmacist’s instructions for your own order.
Plan cancellation before renewal
The terms describe fifteen days of notice before the next monthly processing date after the initial commitment. Obtain written confirmation that your request was received and which charge it stops. If you need to pause treatment for a medical reason, contact the clinician as well; changing an account setting does not create a medication restart plan.
How much does Novi cost?
$129/mo homepage option versus $99/mo equivalent billed $297/3mo; terms require 3-month minimum; ongoing month-to-month total not established.
$169/mo homepage option versus $139/mo equivalent billed $417/3mo; terms require 3-month minimum; ongoing month-to-month total not established.
Company advertises treatment-dependent access: US online access; confirm current state, provider and pharmacy eligibility.
The homepage lists semaglutide at $129 month to month or $297 every three months, equivalent to $99 monthly. Tirzepatide is $169 month to month or $417 quarterly, equivalent to $139. The terms separately describe a three-month minimum and initial collection for that period. Until the selected offer reconciles those obligations, a complete flexible ongoing monthly quote is not established.
- The quarterly equivalents require the full stated quarterly charge. Compare $297 or $417 due for the term with a single-month purchase rather than treating the divided figure as a cancellable monthly installment. Ask whether the selected subscription renews quarterly or under the thirty-day default in the general agreement.
- The minimum commitment matters even if a payment is divided into smaller charges. The terms say the first three months are nonrefundable unless the provider determines treatment is inappropriate. Request the applicable agreement for the exact plan before relying on the homepage’s cancel-anytime language.
- The terms describe a full initial-payment refund if the ordered treatment cannot be prescribed for medical reasons. The separate refund page says returns are not accepted. These are different questions: being declined a prescription is different from changing your mind after an eligible order has been processed.
- A twenty-dollar independent physician consultation component is described within the subscription fee. Ask whether any other clinical services, tests or outside pharmacy purchases would be additional. Avoid assuming the platform’s no-membership message means every possible related healthcare expense is included.
- The advertised same-price-at-every-dose policy does not remove clinical review, location restrictions or future changes to promotions. Confirm the renewal price and dose inclusions in your confirmation. The agreement permits pricing changes, so preserve the terms shown when you enroll.

The pharmacy behind the medicine
It does not name its pharmacy. Novi does not publicly disclose which compounding pharmacy fills its prescriptions. That is common and it is not an accusation — but it does mean the one thing you would most want to verify about a compounded medicine is the one thing you cannot.
A compounded drug is mixed to order by a pharmacy rather than manufactured and released as a finished product, so the FDA has not reviewed the specific preparation you are prescribed for safety, effectiveness or quality. That is true of every compounded program, including the highest-scoring ones.
What else do people ask about Novi?
Does $99 buy one month of semaglutide?
The $99 figure is the equivalent of $297 billed every three months. The homepage also lists $129 month to month, but its agreement contains a three-month minimum. Obtain confirmation of the applicable term and full amount due before deciding that either option offers a flexible single-month purchase.
What does tirzepatide cost?
Novi lists $169 month to month and $417 for three months, or $139 monthly equivalent. Those figures concern compounded treatment. Ask whether your selected plan has the stated minimum commitment, how it renews, and whether the written quote includes the prescription, clinical support and delivery you expect.
Will I receive a refund if I am declined?
The terms say the initial payment is refunded when the provider cannot prescribe the ordered treatment because it is medically inappropriate. Ask how the decision and refund are documented. This provision does not promise an unrestricted refund after an eligible prescription or after you decide the program no longer suits you.
Can I cancel whenever I want?
The homepage uses cancel-anytime language, while the terms impose a minimum term and fifteen-day notice for the following monthly processing date. Resolve which schedule governs your purchase. Keep cancellation confirmation and ask whether it ends future renewal, remaining payments, or both before assuming the account has no further obligations.
Is the medicine the same as a branded GLP-1?
Novi’s disclosure says compounded drugs are not FDA-approved, are not approved generics and have not been shown to produce the same results as an approved medicine. Ask your clinician to explain the proposed preparation and alternatives. A shared active ingredient does not establish therapeutic equivalence for the dispensed product.
Which pharmacy will fill my prescription?
The homepage says the independent dispensing pharmacy or outsourcing facility is identified in order confirmation communications. That does not guarantee a particular pharmacy in advance. Request the actual name, state eligibility and contact details before fulfillment, then direct concentration, storage and preparation questions to the pharmacist responsible for your prescription.
