Nolu LLC sells compounded semaglutide injections at $199, tirzepatide at $279 and daily oral semaglutide tablets at $239. Each plan renews every 4 weeks, and the dose does not change the price. Consultation, medication and shipping are included, and longer plans cost less per cycle. Prescribing runs through a contracted clinician network, four partner pharmacies are named in its terms, and it says it serves all 50 states plus DC.
Is Nolu legit?
Yes. Nolu 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 Nolu promo or coupon code?
We know of no promo or coupon code for Nolu. Its listed price is $199 a month. Coupon sites advertising "Nolu discount codes" are not a source we can vouch for, and any genuine offer shows at checkout without a code.

How Nolu scores
Six columns, each one computed from something Nolu 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 Nolu 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.
- 1Nolu 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 Nolu 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 $199, tirzepatide $279. That leaves out membership fees, first-month rates and insurance copays.
- Nolu 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 Nolu'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 $199 a month, exactly the $199 median for compounded semaglutide across the sellers we compare
- Tirzepatide costs $279 a month, close to 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 stays the same as your dose goes up
- The monthly price includes the medication, clinician visits and shipping
- Serves all 50 states and DC
- We found no FDA warning letters issued to Nolu
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 Nolu charges
The standing price at Nolu is $199/month, unchanged as the dose goes up. Flat dose pricing matters more than it sounds: on a tiered plan the bill grows with the dose, so the figure that got you to sign up is not the one you end up paying.
- Compounded semaglutide (injection): $199/month
- Compounded tirzepatide: $279/month
- Compounded semaglutide (tablet): $239/month
For compounded semaglutide, the median across the sellers we compare is $199/month, so Nolu's $199 lands mid-market. Price is unlikely to be the deciding factor. Before you pay, compare Nolu's cancellation terms with other sellers' cancellation and refund policies.
Bodybuilding Health+ dispenses semaglutide and tirzepatide from $179/month, which makes it the fair comparison to run before you commit here.
What Nolu dispenses
Nolu 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. The medication is compounded rather than dispensed as an approved pen. Compounding serves real clinical needs and is entirely lawful; what it is not is reviewed, and the cost difference reflects that. For what differs besides the price, see compounded semaglutide vs Ozempic and Wegovy.
A needle-free oral option is genuinely uncommon and is the reason some readers will look at Nolu 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
Nolu tells you its price before you start the medical questionnaire and that it treats patients in all 50 states. It also offers clinician messaging between visits. We found no FDA warning letters issued to Nolu. Because the medication is compounded, the most useful question to ask at intake is which licensed pharmacy fills the prescription. If Nolu 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 Nolu bills your plan before you start.
It fits if
- you want the price to stop moving as your dose climbs
- injections are the thing keeping you from starting
- you need access wherever you live
- reaching a clinician between visits matters to you
Our read
Nolu lands mid-market on price without a standout advantage or an obvious problem. It comes down to whether its particular package fits you. Belle Health is the nearest comparison we review, and worth reading alongside this.

Where Nolu 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 Nolu sets more sellers in the same category beside Nolu on price, states and what the price includes.
