An affordable, physician-supervised alternative to Ozempic is compounded semaglutide, which uses the same active ingredient, semaglutide, prescribed by a licensed U.S. physician. New Hope Weight Loss is not affiliated with Novo Nordisk or the Ozempic brand; we offer cash-pay compounded semaglutide from $166 per month with no insurance required and a $119 telehealth consultation to start.

Why People Look for a Ozempic Alternative

Ozempic® is a registered trademark of Novo Nordisk A/S and is approved by the FDA for specific uses. But for many people it's hard to get: list prices can exceed $1,000/month without insurance, coverage is inconsistent, and nationwide shortages have made it difficult to fill. That's why so many search for a more accessible alternative.

New Hope Weight Loss is not affiliated with Novo Nordisk A/S. What we offer is a physician-supervised path to the same active ingredient, semaglutide, prepared by a certified 503A compounding pharmacy.
