Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide with advertised flat prices; clarify the offer and renewal rules before paying.

$179/mo for either medication, flat across doses, with a genuinely gentle microdose tier — if you can live with an annual plan and a pharmacy it will not name.

How we scored Obu Health
Each factor is judged from Obu Health's actual pricing, disclosures and support, then combined into the Mama-Match Score of 52/100 using the same weighted six-factor framework we apply to every provider — never influenced by whether a provider pays us.
The start feels transactional — more cash register than welcome.
The cost is unpredictable, hidden behind a quiz, or in the premium range.
Little public detail about who oversees your care, and how.
Coverage is limited or gated behind a signup.
Support is thin once the prescription ships.
Canceling carries real friction — commitments, notice windows or non-refundable charges.
How we verified this review
- Last reviewed
- August 2026
- Confidence
- High
- Primary sources
Company website
$190 and $239, with both compounding pharmacies named at full addresses and self-serve cancellation confirmed — better disclosure than most. The gap is geography: no state list, just 'United States' with restrictions that vary by treatment.
What to expect when you sign up
We walked Obu Health's public signup (August 2026) — a first-hand look at the process. We did not create accounts, enter medical information, or complete checkout, so this is what any visitor sees, not a patient's outcome.
- 1The starting price for each molecule is printed on the homepage, no quiz wall
- 2Complete an online assessment; its FAQ says a doctor reviews it in about 24 hours
- 3A video or phone consult is required in some states, per the FAQ
- 4If approved, medication ships from one of two named compounding pharmacies, or your own local pharmacy if you'd rather use it
What we noticed
- Names two real compounding pharmacies with full street addresses on its FAQ page — Manifest Pharmacy in Greer, SC and RX Compounding Store in Miami, FL — and explicitly lets you redirect to your own local pharmacy instead
- Its Returns & Refunds page says plans are 'a subscription that you can cancel at any time,' self-serve through your account login
- No state list anywhere — just 'United States only' with restrictions that 'vary based on the therapy and medication'
- Nothing on the site mentions pregnancy, breastfeeding, or postpartum recovery

What we like

- Also sells NAD+ and sermorelin on the same account
The caveats

Obu Health for moms: our verdict
Starting From $190/mo semaglutide and $239/mo tirzepatide, naming two real compounding pharmacies — Manifest Pharmacy in Greer, South Carolina, and RX Compounding Store in Miami, Florida — plus a genuine self-serve cancel-anytime policy; but no state list published anywhere, and nothing about pregnancy or breastfeeding. It runs about $190/mo, flat across every dose.
We looked at Obu Health the way moms actually have to: not just the monthly cost, but the right timing around pregnancy and nursing and honest, clear pricing from the start — the parts a generic weight-loss review skips.
What Obu Health actually costs
- Compounded semaglutide — Starting price: $190/mo
- Compounded tirzepatide — Starting price: $239/mo
That's roughly in line with our list's median of ~$177/mo.
Obu Health prices flat across doses, so it doesn't climb as your dose does — which matters, because most women spend months titrating up.
That price covers the medication.
The medications Obu Health prescribes
Obu Health lists semaglutide and tirzepatide. Offering both gives a prescribing clinician options, but PCOS or a history of gestational diabetes alone does not establish which medication is right for you. Compounded GLP-1s are not FDA-approved finished products. Confirm the exact formulation and dispensing pharmacy; an approved brand’s trial results do not establish the quality or equivalence of a compounded product.
Where it operates. Obu Health lists its coverage as: US only — no published state list; the site says restrictions vary by the specific therapy.
Where Obu Health fits — and where it doesn't — for moms
A good fit if…
- you want to discuss both semaglutide and tirzepatide with your prescribing clinician.
Look elsewhere if…
- you specifically want an FDA-approved brand-name pen with its own pregnancy and breastfeeding label.
- you need to discuss the right timing around pregnancy and nursing with your treating clinician before choosing. If comparing prices with CoreAge Rx, request the offer and terms separately from that clinical decision.
Trust, safety and oversight
Our confidence in Obu Health's public data is high — the pricing, the pharmacies and the clinical network were all verifiable at our last review. As with any compounded GLP-1, the most useful thing moms can do is confirm which licensed pharmacy fills the prescription and what's in the formula — we explain how we score oversight in our scoring methodology.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding need separate discussions with your clinician. GLP-1 weight-loss treatment is not recommended during pregnancy. During breastfeeding, the exact drug and formulation matter: Wegovy tablets are not recommended because of the SNAC absorption ingredient. Injectable semaglutide and tirzepatide labels call for weighing benefits, risks and the limits of infant-safety data; they do not establish that treatment is safe for every nursing parent. Compounded products do not inherit FDA approval from the branded drug. Discuss your own medication and timing before starting or changing treatment.
The bottom line
Obu Health is a reasonable option — weigh it on the right timing around pregnancy and nursing and honest, clear pricing from the start against the alternatives below. For moms comparing another compounded offer, CoreAge Rx describes prices and terms to confirm for the selected dose and plan.
The bottom line
Best for: Moms who want to know exactly which pharmacy fills the prescription and exactly how to cancel before handing over a card number.

Obu Health, answered
- Does Obu Health name its pharmacy?
- Yes — its FAQ names two, Manifest Pharmacy (Greer, SC) and RX Compounding Store (Miami, FL), and says you can ask to use your own local pharmacy instead. Most compounders in this category don't disclose that much.
- Can I cancel Obu Health without a fight?
- Its Returns & Refunds page says plans are 'a subscription you can cancel at any time,' self-serve from your account — a real, published policy.
- Does Obu Health work in my state?
- It doesn't publish a state list — only 'United States only' with restrictions that depend on the specific medication. Confirm your own state directly before you pay.
