About Maves

Month one of semaglutide costs $99. Homera Health is the parent; the Maves brand sells compounded semaglutide and compounded tirzepatide for weight loss, adds sermorelin on the anti-aging side, and frames the whole thing around fat loss, lean muscle and energy. A plan buys everything at once: the consult, the drug, clinical support and shipping, with no fees held back. Certification comes from LegitScript, and all 50 states are served.

Pros & Cons

Boston Medical Group

What we like

  • Shows its price before the medical questionnaire, so you can compare it without handing over health information
  • The monthly price includes the medication
  • We found no FDA warning letters issued to Boston Medical Group
  • A live video visit with a clinician is required before a prescription, which is slower than a form and is the more careful intake

Watch-outs

  • Not included in the monthly price: clinician visits
  • Serves only 7 states, so check that yours is one of them
  • Ask which pharmacy fills the prescription before you pay, so you can check its license
  • Its semaglutide is compounded rather than FDA-approved, so it has not been reviewed by the agency for safety, effectiveness or manufacturing quality
