Why our prices are lower.

Our prices are lower for three simple reasons:

  • Compounded medication — the same active ingredient as the brand-name versions, made to order by a licensed US pharmacy, so you're not paying extra for the brand name.
  • One all-in monthly price — your visits and shipping are included, instead of a separate membership fee on top of your medication.
  • Lean marketing — we don't pad prices to fund big advertising campaigns, so more of what you pay goes toward your care.

Your pharmacy

From a licensed US pharmacy to your door.

Your medication is dispensed by a US pharmacy licensed in Maryland and shipped overnight, refrigerated (cold-chain), straight to your door. Here's what stands behind every shipment.

Licensed US pharmacy

Your prescription is filled individually for you by a state-licensed US pharmacy, as permitted under Section 503A of the federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.

Accredited, independently scrutinized

Our pharmacy holds PCAB accreditation (Pharmacy Compounding Accreditation Board) — a voluntary standard requiring product testing, staff training, and quality practices beyond state minimums.

Every batch independently tested

Every batch of injectable medication is tested by an independent, accredited US laboratory for sterility and endotoxins, and we keep the Certificates of Analysis (COAs) on file.

Common questions

What you should know.

Do I need to visit a clinic in Germantown?

No. Care is fully remote: your visits are video calls with a physician licensed in Maryland, and a licensed US pharmacy ships your medication overnight to your Germantown address. Nothing about treatment requires leaving home.

How much does semaglutide cost in Germantown?

From $112/month for once-daily oral drops or $135/month for weekly injections in Germantown — the same flat rate as the rest of Maryland, medication included. There is no membership fee, and the intake and first visit are free.

Can I get semaglutide in Germantown?

Yes. Compounded semaglutide (the active ingredient in Wegovy or Ozempic) is available to Germantown patients as once-daily oral drops or a weekly injection, prescribed after an online video visit with a physician licensed in Maryland and shipped overnight.

Is compounded semaglutide the same as Wegovy or Ozempic?

It contains the same active ingredient, semaglutide, prepared by a licensed US pharmacy for an individual prescription. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved, and we only prescribe one when there is a clinical reason a commercial product is not the right fit. Your clinician goes over exactly what you'd be taking at your visit.

Should I choose injections or oral drops?

Both deliver semaglutide. The injectable is a once-weekly self-injection and starts at $135/month. The oral form is once-daily drops under the tongue, with no needles, and starts at $112/month. Your clinician helps you choose based on your preferences and history, and you can discuss switching at any follow-up.

How does medication delivery work in Germantown?

Your prescription is filled by a licensed US pharmacy and shipped overnight in refrigerated, cold-chain packaging to your Germantown address — no pickup, no clinic visit. Refills ship the same way for as long as you stay in treatment.

How fast does medication arrive in Germantown?

Once your clinician writes your prescription and the pharmacy fills it, your medication ships overnight and typically arrives the next business day. Delivery to your Germantown address is just as fast as anywhere else in Maryland.

Do you take insurance?

Not at this time. We charge one flat monthly price with the medication, clinician visits, and shipping included, so there are no prior authorizations or surprise bills. HSA and FSA cards are accepted at checkout, and we provide itemized receipts and a Letter of Medical Necessity on request.

Who prescribes my medication?

James Simmons, MD, our medical director, is licensed in Maryland and board-certified in emergency medicine (ABEM). He reviews your intake, meets with you over video, and supervises your treatment over time.
