About Novera MD
Novera MD is a new online clinic that books compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide through the WizDoc network of independent prescribers, alongside hormone, NAD+, sermorelin and glutathione care. Its product pages advertise semaglutide from $94.31 a month and tirzepatide from $164.31, with Klarna pay-later, but the plan length behind those figures only appears after a long intake. No company name or dispensing pharmacy is given.

Every dose carries the same price, and buying by the quarter pushes semaglutide down to roughly $93/mo, tirzepatide to about $166/mo. Nothing branded is sold and no peptides are added on. Five prescribing physicians are listed by name, as are five 503A pharmacy partners, which exceeds what most compounded sellers will say. A LegitScript seal is displayed and HIPAA compliance claimed. All 50 states are covered.
