Oral semaglutide is 237 dollars per month, with a 187 dollar first month, and the brand-inclusive program starts around 1,299 dollars. Layla is built around semaglutide, sold as injections and as oral dropper drops, with compounded tirzepatide and a brand program covering Wegovy, Ozempic, Zepbound and Mounjaro. Care starts with a short online quiz and a licensed-provider visit; medication ships in three to five days, with 24-7 doctor messaging. Dr. Ruth Cohen is Medical Director. Compounded meds are not FDA-approved.

How Layla scores
Six columns, each one computed from something Layla 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 it publishes nothing, that absence is what gets scored. Every seller in the register goes through the same six columns.
Value25%
7.1/10$199/month is 25% below the register median of $267 for compounded tirzepatide.
Effectiveness25%
10.0/10Dispenses semaglutide and tirzepatide, including the FDA-approved product. Anchored to SURMOUNT-1 (tirzepatide, -20.9%) and STEP 1 (semaglutide, -14.9%).
User Experience15%
8.0/10On the seller's own pages, a price is published before the questionnaire starts.
Trust & Safety15%
6.5/10does not name a dispensing pharmacy; shows a price before asking for health information. Our verification confidence is medium.
Accessibility10%
5.0/10Publishes no list of states served, so coverage cannot be confirmed either way. Capped at the midpoint — this measures disclosure, not reach.
Support10%
7.0/10The price covers medication, consult, shipping.
A seller that will not show a price before an intake loses points on Value and carries that note in its review. Withholding the number is itself a finding. How we score →

What signing up with Layla involves
Assembled from this seller’s entry in the register — the price record, the state list, the dispensing pharmacy where one is named, and what the monthly figure covers. It describes what a reader can expect to meet on the way to a prescription, and what is missing from the seller’s own disclosures. It is not a clinical judgment and not a prescribing decision.
- 1Layla publishes a price on its own site before asking anything about you. You can compare it against this register without starting a questionnaire.
- 2The intake is a written questionnaire. No live video visit or baseline bloodwork is recorded as required.
- 3Layla does not say which pharmacy dispenses the medication. That is common here and it means you cannot check the pharmacy's record before you buy.
- 4The monthly price is recorded as covering medication, consult, shipping.
- Cheapest standing monthly prices on record: semaglutide $237, tirzepatide $199. Membership fees, first-month rates and insured copays are excluded from those figures.
- No state list is published, so whether Layla serves your state cannot be confirmed from its site.
- 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.

Every figure here was read off Layla's own checkout on 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
- Tirzepatide at $199 a month, within the normal band around this register's $267 median for the same drug and form
- Publishes a price on its own site before the medical questionnaire, so it can be compared without handing over health information
- The monthly price is recorded as flat across doses, so it does not climb as the dose is titrated up
- The monthly figure covers medication, consult, shipping
- No FDA warning letter matched this operator when we searched our enforcement register
Against it
- No state list is on record here, so whether it serves your state cannot be confirmed from this page
- No dispensing pharmacy is named in our record, so its accreditation cannot be looked up from here
- 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 Layla charges
Layla advertises $187. That buys the first month. The standing rate is $199/month, and that is the one worth doing arithmetic on, because the introductory figure applies once.
- Compounded semaglutide — $187 first month, then $237/month
- Compounded tirzepatide — $199/month
- Brand-name semaglutide — $1299/month
The median standing price across the GLP-1 providers we track is about $169/month, so this is a premium, and a premium has to buy something. Discounting the first month does not change the twelve-month total by much.
Found dispenses semaglutide and tirzepatide from $149/month, which makes it the honest comparison to run before committing here.
What Layla dispenses
Layla prescribes semaglutide (approved as Wegovy and Ozempic) and tirzepatide (approved as Zepbound and Mounjaro). Between them these are the two best-evidenced weight-loss molecules currently on the market. You can take the approved brand pen or the cheaper compounded preparation. What separates them is review: the approved product went through it, the compounded one did not, and that is the whole of the trade.
A needle-free oral option is genuinely uncommon and is the reason some readers will look at Layla at all. Set expectations on the evidence, though: the published weight-loss trials for these molecules used injections. Oral and sublingual delivery of peptides is far less studied, so treat it as a route that solves the needle problem rather than as a demonstrated equal to the shot.
What we could verify
On the record: clinician messaging is available between visits. We searched the federal warning-letter record for this operator and came back with nothing. Because the medication is compounded and no dispensing pharmacy is named publicly, the single most useful question to ask at intake is which licensed pharmacy fills the prescription. A seller that will not answer that has told you something. How we weigh oversight, disclosure and price evidence is set out in our scoring methodology.
Who should look elsewhere
- You are optimizing for the twelve-month total rather than the first bill — a flat-rate seller such as CoreAge Rx will usually win that arithmetic.
- You would be choosing on the advertised figure. The introductory month is real, but it is not what you will be paying in month three.
- You need to bill insurance. Like most of this market, this is cash-pay.
It fits if
- you want the price to stop moving as your dose climbs
- you want a cheap way to find out whether the medication suits you before committing
- injections are the thing keeping you from starting
- reaching a clinician between visits matters to you
Our read
Layla is a cheap way to start and an ordinary way to continue. Use the $187 month for what it is good for — establishing whether the medication works for you — and re-run the numbers against $199/month before you let it renew twice. Breeze Meds is the nearest comparison we track, and worth reading alongside this.
The Bottom Line
Layla's strongest column is the clinical side — which molecules it will prescribe, and how it handles dosing.

Where Layla is the wrong choice
No seller in this register suits every reader, and saying otherwise would be the easiest way to sell one. On these four counts another entry does better.
