Heros charges $149 monthly for compounded semaglutide and $198 for compounded tirzepatide. Paying for three months up front cuts those to $129 and $178. The price includes clinician follow-ups and free 2-4 day shipping, with no separate membership fee. Board-certified US physicians prescribe, and unnamed 503A pharmacies dispense. A 90-day refund offer on the home page does not appear in the terms, which call prescription sales final.
Is Heros Health legit?
Yes. Heros Health is a real, operating US company, and we found no FDA warning letters issued to it. Its site shows LegitScript certification. We rate it 7.2/10 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 Heros Health promo or coupon code?
Heros Health has no code to type in. The current offer: INTRO OFFER on GLP-1 weight loss: $149 your first month, then $199/mo (or $165/mo on the 3-month plan); compounded semaglutide/tirzepatide. It applies at checkout on its own. Coupon sites advertising a "Heros Health promo code" are not a source we can vouch for.

How Heros Health scores
Six columns, each one computed from something Heros Health 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.

What signing up with Heros Health involves
What to expect on the way to a prescription: where the price appears, who fills the medication, and what the monthly price covers. It is not medical advice, and a clinician makes the prescribing decision.
- 1Heros Health shows a price only after you finish its medical questionnaire, so you cannot compare costs until you have shared health information.
- 2Ask Heros Health which pharmacy fills the prescription before you pay. The pharmacy's name is what lets you check its license.
- 3The monthly price includes the medication, clinician visits and shipping.
- Lowest ongoing monthly price: semaglutide $149, tirzepatide $198. That leaves out membership fees, first-month rates and insurance copays.
- Heros Health serves all 50 states and DC.
- The medication is compounded, so it is not an FDA-approved product and has not been reviewed by the agency for safety, effectiveness or manufacturing quality.

Check the price yourself before you pay
Every figure here comes from Heros Health's own website, as of the date shown. Sellers move prices without announcing it, and promotional rates lapse, so confirm the standing cost on their site before committing.
In its favor
- Semaglutide costs $149 a month, 25% below the $199 median for compounded semaglutide across the sellers we compare
- Tirzepatide costs $198 a month, 26% below the $269 median for compounded tirzepatide across the sellers we compare
- The monthly price includes the medication, clinician visits and shipping
- Serves all 50 states and DC
- We found no FDA warning letters issued to Heros Health
Against it
- You only see a price after finishing the medical intake, so you cannot compare costs before sharing health information
- Ask which pharmacy fills the prescription before you pay, so you can check its license
- Its semaglutide and tirzepatide are compounded rather than FDA-approved, so they have not been reviewed by the agency for safety, effectiveness or manufacturing quality
What Heros Health charges
The standing price at Heros Health is $149/month.
- Compounded semaglutide: $149/month
- Compounded tirzepatide: $198/month
For compounded tirzepatide, the median across the sellers we compare is $269/month, so Heros Health's $198 is genuinely below the middle, not just advertised that way. Before you pay, compare Heros Health's cancellation terms with other sellers' cancellation and refund policies. For scale, the dearest tenth of compounded sellers charges about three times the cheapest tenth.
Found, at about $149/month + membership, is the closest like-for-like alternative we review.
What Heros Health dispenses
Heros Health prescribes semaglutide (approved as Wegovy and Ozempic) and tirzepatide (approved as Zepbound and Mounjaro). Between them these are the two molecules with the largest published weight-loss trial programs behind them. These are compounded preparations from a licensed pharmacy rather than approved pens, which is where the lower price comes from. A compounded drug is not FDA-approved as a finished product: the specific preparation has not been reviewed for safety, efficacy or manufacturing quality. For what differs besides the price, see compounded semaglutide vs Ozempic and Wegovy.
Safety and disclosure
Heros Health tells you that it treats patients in all 50 states and that its pharmacy is accredited. We found no FDA warning letters issued to Heros Health. Because the medication is compounded, the most useful question to ask at intake is which licensed pharmacy fills the prescription. If Heros Health will not tell you, treat that as a warning sign. Once you have the pharmacy's name, 503A vs 503B explains which regulator oversees it and how to check. How we weigh oversight, disclosure and price is set out in our scoring methodology.
Who should look elsewhere
- You want the FDA-approved pen specifically. Everything listed here is compounded.
- You need insurance to cover the cost. Check whether Heros Health bills your plan before you start.
It fits if
- the lowest standing monthly cost is what you are solving for
- you need access wherever you live
Our read
Heros Health competes on price: $198/month for compounded tirzepatide. The catch is disclosure, which is why Heros Health scores low on Trust & Safety: settle the pharmacy and pricing questions above before the price decides for you.
The Bottom Line
Heros Health falls below our bar on disclosure. It charges from $149 a month; its compounded tirzepatide, at $198, is 26% below the $269 median among the sellers we compare.
Before you pay Heros Health
Starting at $149 a month. Check today's price, then start the intake.
Where Heros Health is the wrong choice
No seller suits every reader, and pretending otherwise is the easiest way to sell one. On these three counts, another seller does better.
- If you need the FDA-approved pen rather than a compounded vial, consider WellMedRx.
- If the standing monthly cost is what decides it, consider Collective (from $59/mo + membership).
- If you want a human checking in, not just a prescription, consider Eden.
If none of these fits, our guide to alternatives to Heros Health sets more sellers in the same category beside Heros Health on price, states and what the price includes.
