Pricing
Ascend Medical
'Starting Package Semaglutide $225'. ⚠ Ascend states no billing period anywhere beside it — not per month, not per supply — so treat $225 as a package price of unknown duration.

Flat monthly price; medication, provider visit, and shipping included
Flat monthly price; dual-action GLP-1 and GIP
