Prescription GLP-1 · price transparency review
Sesame Care review
Sesame is a transparent-pricing telehealth marketplace that connects patients directly with independent provider practices — distinct from the stocked-formulary model of most weight-loss platforms.
Sesame Care publishes its price before the medical intake — you can see what it costs without handing over your health history first.
- Semaglutide
- From $149/mo (1.5 mg dose, compounded oral)
- Tirzepatide
- From $299/mo (2.5 mg dose, compounded)
- Coverage
- Coverage not published
- Price visible
- Before intake
It does not name its pharmacy. Sesame Care 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.
Assume any company we link may compensate us — see our disclosure. It never changes what we write. Sesame Care sells a prescription medicine, not a probiotic; this site's ranked shelf is the metabolic probiotic board, and a supplement is a different decision from a drug.
What it does well
- Marketplace transparency — pick a named provider with a displayed price before booking, unlike most opaque telehealth intake
- BBB-accredited and LegitScript-verified
- LillyDirect partnership unlocks Zepbound vial and KwikPen cash pricing matching Lilly's lowest direct rates ($299 at lowest dose)
- Wegovy self-pay promo ($199/mo for first two months, lowest dose, new self-pay) — among the lowest brand-Wegovy cash prices
What to check first
- Marketplace model means clinician credentials and quality vary provider to provider
- Statewide availability can't be listed — it depends on which marketplace providers are licensed in your state
- No in-house pharmacy — fulfillment splits across LillyDirect, NovoCare, and your retail pharmacy
- Compounded medications are not FDA-approved finished products
