Cost Plus Drugs is Mark Cuban's online pharmacy. Each drug is priced at the manufacturer cost plus a 15% markup and a pharmacy labor fee, with shipping extra, and every product page prints that breakdown. It lists no Ozempic, Wegovy, Zepbound or Mounjaro; its only weight-management GLP-1 is generic liraglutide for Saxenda at $716.50 a box. It does no prescribing; the script must come from an outside clinician.
Is Cost Plus Drugs legit?
Yes. Cost Plus Drugs is a real, operating US company, and we found no FDA warning letters issued to it. We rate it 5.2/10 overall, across six areas from price to trust and safety. Legitimate is not the same as right for you, though: that part is a decision for you and a licensed clinician.
Is there a Cost Plus Drugs promo or coupon code?
We know of no promo or coupon code for Cost Plus Drugs. Its listed price is $716.50 a month. Coupon sites advertising "Cost Plus Drugs discount codes" are not a source we can vouch for, and any genuine offer shows at checkout without a code.

How Cost Plus Drugs scores
Six columns, each one computed from something Cost Plus Drugs has published rather than from an opinion we formed: what it charges, which molecules it will dispense, what its record shows, and what the monthly figure actually buys. Where a seller keeps something back, such as its price or its pharmacy, the score reflects it. Every seller we review goes through the same six columns.
Value25%
5.0/10Priced at $716.50/month, but too few sellers offer this drug and form to set a fair benchmark.
Effectiveness25%
6.5/10Dispenses liraglutide, including the FDA-approved product. Anchored to SCALE Obesity and Prediabetes (liraglutide, -7.4%).
User Experience15%
5.0/10Where this seller first shows a price is not known, so sign-up is held at the midpoint.
Trust & Safety15%
4.0/10No pharmacy is named for its prescriptions. There is no confirmed price before the medical intake.
Accessibility10%
5.0/10No state list is available to check, so this is held at the midpoint rather than scored on reach.
Support10%
5.0/10States too little about what the monthly cost covers to score the bundle. Held at the midpoint rather than assumed.
A seller that shows no price until after the medical intake loses points on User Experience and Trust & Safety, and its review says so. How we score →

Our read
Cost Plus Drugs charges $716.50/month. Too few sellers offer the same drug and form to say whether that is cheap or expensive, so judge it on what the package includes. The catch is disclosure, which is why Cost Plus Drugs scores low on Trust & Safety: settle the pharmacy and pricing questions above before the price decides for you.
The Bottom Line
Cost Plus Drugs falls below our bar on disclosure. It charges from $716.50 a month.
Before you pay Cost Plus Drugs
Starting at $716.50 a month. Check today's price, then start the intake.
Where Cost Plus Drugs is the wrong choice
No seller suits every reader, and pretending otherwise is the easiest way to sell one. On these two counts, another seller does better.
- If the standing monthly cost is what decides it, consider WellMedRx (from $49/mo).
- If you want a human checking in, not just a prescription, consider Eden.
If none of these fits, our guide to alternatives to Cost Plus Drugs sets more sellers in the same category beside Cost Plus Drugs on price, states and what the price includes.
