Titrating up does not raise the bill. Compounded semaglutide costs $189.99/month, dropping to $136.66/month bought quarterly; compounded tirzepatide costs $284.99/month, dropping to $221.66/month. Overnight delivery, syringes and alcohol wipes come at no charge and insurance stays out of it. Somira is self-pay and acts as a connector, linking patients to independent licensed providers and to compounding pharmacies for GLP-1 weight loss. FDA approval does not cover compounded drugs. Neither the pharmacy partner nor the list of states served is published, and no LegitScript appears.
