Nothing is prescribed until a licensed provider has read the assessment. Follow-up, labs, medication and visit fees fall inside the plans. Sublingual and injectable forms of compounded tirzepatide and semaglutide are the core, with PT-141, gonadorelin, glutathione, sermorelin and NAD+ available as peptide therapies. Two physicians founded it: Dr. Shannon Arora, MD and Dr. Sean Arora, MD, both of Arora Health & Aesthetics. the operating entity is Blue Skies MD LLC, doing business as Lumora MD. All 50 U.S. states, HIPAA compliant, LegitScript certified.
Is Lumora legit?
Yes. Lumora is a real, operating US company, and we found no FDA warning letters issued to it. Its site shows LegitScript certification. We rate it 5.5/10 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 Lumora promo or coupon code?
We know of no promo or coupon code for Lumora. Its listed price is $199 a month. Coupon sites advertising "Lumora discount codes" are not a source we can vouch for, and any genuine offer shows at checkout without a code.

How Lumora scores
Six columns, each one computed from something Lumora 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%
3.0/10The listed figure is not a comparable monthly price for a named GLP-1 (it may be a membership fee, an insured copay, a per-vial rate or a starting-dose price), so Value is capped rather than scored against other sellers.
Effectiveness25%
10.0/10Dispenses semaglutide and tirzepatide, compounded only. Anchored to SURMOUNT-1 (tirzepatide, -20.9%) and STEP 1 (semaglutide, -14.9%).
User Experience15%
3.0/10No price appears until the medical intake is finished.
Trust & Safety15%
4.0/10No pharmacy is named for its prescriptions. Its price appears only after 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%
7.0/10The price covers the medication, clinician visits and lab work.

What signing up with Lumora 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.
- 1Lumora shows a price only after you finish its medical questionnaire, so you cannot compare costs until you have shared health information.
- 2Ask Lumora 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 lab work.
- Before you commit, get the ongoing monthly price of the medication itself, not a first-month rate, a membership fee or a per-vial price.
- Confirm that Lumora serves your state before you start.

Check the price yourself before you pay
Every figure here was read off Lumora'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
- The monthly price includes the medication, clinician visits and lab work
- We found no FDA warning letters issued to Lumora
Against it
- You only see a price after finishing the medical intake, so you cannot compare costs before sharing health information
- Confirm it serves your state before you start the intake
- 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 Lumora charges
Lumora lists $199/month.
- Compounded semaglutide: $199/month
- Compounded tirzepatide: $299/month
HumeCare+, at about $199/month, is the closest like-for-like alternative we review.
What Lumora dispenses
Lumora 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.
A needle-free oral option is genuinely uncommon and is the reason some readers will look at Lumora 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 proven equal to the shot.
Safety and disclosure
Lumora tells you that it treats patients in all 50 states. We found no FDA warning letters issued to Lumora. Because the medication is compounded, the most useful question to ask at intake is which licensed pharmacy fills the prescription. If Lumora will not tell you, treat that as a warning sign. 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 Lumora bills your plan before you start.
It fits if
- injections are the thing keeping you from starting
- you need access wherever you live
Our read
Lumora charges $199/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 Lumora scores low on Trust & Safety: settle the pharmacy and pricing questions above before the price decides for you.
The Bottom Line
Lumora falls below our bar on disclosure. Read the breakdown below before you give it money.
Before you pay Lumora
Starting at $199 a month. Check today's price, then start the intake.
Where Lumora 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 Sesame Care.
- If the standing monthly cost is what decides it, consider Collective (from $59/mo).
- If you want a human checking in, not just a prescription, consider ShedRx.
