How the $495 price works
Rx.com's 6-month compounded semaglutide plan is regularly $875. For Black Friday, now through Tuesday, December 1, 2026, you get 6 months for the price of 3. That brings the plan to $495 and saves $380.
| Semaglutide | Tirzepatide | |
|---|---|---|
| Regular 6-month price | $875 | $1,550 |
| Black Friday 6-month price | $495 | $795 |
| You save | $380 | $755 |
| Works out to | $495 for 6 months, about $2.71 a day | $795 for 6 months, about $4.35 a day |
| Charges after checkout | None | None |
| Auto-renews at the end | No | No |
So the daily figure is just the 6-month total spread out, not a bill. You will not see small charges on your card. You will see one charge of $495 (or $795 for tirzepatide), and only if a provider prescribes.

The Black Friday sale also covers the 1-month plan: $139 for semaglutide (regularly $175) or $249 for tirzepatide (regularly $285), through December 1, 2026. It costs more per month than the 6-month plan, but less to start. Our guide to monthly vs 6-month vs 12-month plans compares every option.
What's included
Everything you need to start weekly injections at home is part of the one price:
| Included | What it means |
|---|---|
| Provider review | A licensed U.S. provider reviews your health history and decides whether treatment is right for you. |
| Medication | Compounded semaglutide at the dose your provider prescribes, for all 6 months of the plan. |
| Injection supplies and dosing guide | The supplies you need for your weekly injection, plus a guide to how to take it. |
| Care team messaging | Message the care team with questions, and check in before refills. |
| Free express shipping | Medication ships in plain packaging and arrives in 1 to 5 business days. |
| Dose changes | If your provider raises your dose, your price stays the same. |
What isn't included
To keep this honest, here is what the plan does not cover:
- Lab tests. If labs are needed, they are billed separately by whoever orders them.
- Other prescriptions, such as anti-nausea medicine from your own doctor.
- Primary care. Diabetes, blood pressure, cholesterol and other conditions stay with your regular doctor.
- Emergency or in-person care. Online treatment does not replace urgent care if something goes wrong.
- A brand-name medication. This plan is compounded semaglutide. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved and are not the same as any brand-name medication.
- Treatment in every state. The program is available in 47 states, not Alaska, Louisiana or Mississippi.
- Insurance billing. It is cash pay. Many HSA and FSA cards are accepted.
Does the price change with your dose?
No. Semaglutide starts at a low weekly dose and is usually raised step by step every 4 weeks or more, depending on how you feel. Many programs charge more as the dose climbs. Rx.com charges the same price at every dose, so the $495 covers all 6 months whether you stay low or move up. For how dosing typically steps up, see our semaglutide dosage chart.
Fees people worry about
Low advertised prices sometimes hide add-ons. Here is how the common ones work on this plan:
- Visit or membership fee: none. The provider review is included.
- Dose upcharge: none. Same price at every dose.
- Shipping fee: none. Express shipping is free.
- Insurance: not needed, and not billed.
- Surprise renewal: none. The plan does not auto-renew.
The FDA warns shoppers to be careful with GLP-1 offers that skip a medical screening or are labeled "for research use only." A low price paired with a real provider review and a licensed pharmacy is a different thing. Our guide on whether cheap semaglutide is safe explains the warning signs.
Who the 6-month sale plan fits
| Situation | Plan that may fit |
|---|---|
| You plan to stay on treatment for at least 6 months | The Black Friday 6-month plan is the lowest price per month right now |
| You are new and do not want a big payment up front | 1 month at the Black Friday price of $139 (regularly $175), then reassess |
| You already know you want a full year | Compare the regular 12-month plan ($1,188 on our semaglutide page) with the sale plan plus a second 6 months |
| Your insurance covers a GLP-1 for weight | Check your coverage first, it may cost less |
If you have Medicare, the Medicare GLP-1 Bridge sets a $50 copay on certain GLP-1 drugs for eligible Part D members through December 31, 2027. If you have commercial insurance that covers weight-loss medication, a manufacturer savings card may bring your copay down to $25. Check those first.
