New Tides is a physician-led telehealth practice that prescribes compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide and may also prescribe nine peptides, including the six named in the October 2026 HHS peptide policy. Nothing is charged at sign-up: the card you save is charged only when a physician sends a prescription, and there is no subscription. Semaglutide is $200 and tirzepatide $250 per prescription, the same at every dose, with the physician visit, medication and shipping included.
Is New Tides legit?
Yes. New Tides is a real, operating US company, and we found no FDA warning letters issued to it. We rate it 7.8/10 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 New Tides promo or coupon code?
We know of no promo or coupon code for New Tides. Coupon sites advertising "New Tides discount codes" are not a source we can vouch for, and any genuine offer shows at checkout without a code.

How New Tides scores
Six columns, each one computed from something New Tides 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 New Tides 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.
- 1New Tides shows a price on its own site before asking anything about you, so you can compare it with other sellers before you start a questionnaire.
- 2Ask New Tides 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 $200, tirzepatide $250. That leaves out membership fees, first-month rates and insurance copays.
- New Tides serves 45 of 50 states and DC, so check that yours is one of them.
- 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.

In its favor
- Semaglutide costs $200 a month, close to the $199 median for compounded semaglutide across the sellers we compare
- Tirzepatide costs $250 a month, 7% below the $269 median for compounded tirzepatide across the sellers we compare
- Shows its price before the medical questionnaire, so you can compare it without handing over health information
- The monthly price includes the medication, clinician visits and shipping
- Serves 45 states and DC
- We found no FDA warning letters issued to New Tides
Against it
- 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 New Tides charges
There is no standard monthly price to quote for New Tides, so you cannot compare it with other sellers until you have been through an intake and received a quote. When you get one, ask for the ongoing monthly figure and what it includes, not the first-month rate and not a program total divided by its length. Before you pay, compare New Tides' cancellation terms with other sellers' cancellation and refund policies.
What New Tides dispenses
New Tides prescribes semaglutide (approved as Wegovy and Ozempic) and tirzepatide (approved as Zepbound and Mounjaro). Between them these are the pair carrying the strongest published outcome data. 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
New Tides tells you its price before you start the medical questionnaire and the 45 states it serves. We found no FDA warning letters issued to New Tides. Because the medication is compounded, the most useful question to ask at intake is which licensed pharmacy fills the prescription. If New Tides 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.
Of the peptides New Tides sells, BPC-157, TB-500, Epitalon, Semax, KPV, and MOTS-c are among the six in the October 2026 HHS compounding policy. It says HHS does not intend to take enforcement action against 503A pharmacies that compound them under ten conditions, and it approves none of them. New Tides also sells NAD+, and a 2026 systematic review found no outcomes trials of injected NAD+ for anti-aging or wellness.
Who should look elsewhere
- You want the FDA-approved pen specifically. Everything listed here is compounded.
- You want to compare prices before spending time on an intake. There is no standard monthly price to compare.
- You need insurance to cover the cost. Check whether New Tides bills your plan before you start.
It fits if
- you want the price to stop moving as your dose climbs
Our read
Whether New Tides is priced well is impossible to judge before an intake, because there is no standard price to compare. That does not rule it out, and plenty of legitimate sellers quote after intake, but it puts the comparison after you have spent the time, which is the wrong order for you as the buyer. WellMedRx is the nearest comparison we review, and worth reading alongside this.
The Bottom Line
New Tides scores highest on the clinical side (which drugs it prescribes and how it doses) and lowest on follow-up care. Its compounded tirzepatide costs $250 a month, 7% below the $269 median among the sellers we compare.

Where New Tides 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 you need the FDA-approved pen rather than a compounded vial, consider WellMedRx.
- If you want a human checking in, not just a prescription, consider Eden.
If none of these fits, our guide to alternatives to New Tides sets more sellers in the same category beside New Tides on price, states and what the price includes.
