Pros & Cons
Stealth Health
What we like
- Free consultation — you only pay once a prescription is issued
- A doctor reviews your intake before any prescription
- Free shipping on medication
- One platform for weight loss plus ED, hair, testosterone and more
Watch-outs
- Doesn't name the specific weight-loss medication on its site
- No prices posted — the pharmacy sets and collects payment after approval
- Operating company, prescribing clinicians, and pharmacy partner not disclosed
- State availability not published
- Consultation fees are non-refundable except where required by law
NovoCare Pharmacy
What we like
- First-party Novo Nordisk pharmacy — the most authoritative branded Wegovy channel
- $199/mo intro pricing on Wegovy 0.25/0.5 mg starter doses (through 6/30/2026), the lowest brand self-pay price
- $349/mo standard self-pay is well below the ~$1,300/mo retail list price
- Ships to all 50 states with no telehealth-platform middleman fees
- Cold-chain logistics handled directly by Novo Nordisk
- Insurance-billing path available via the NovoCare savings program
- NEW $149/mo Wegovy pill (oral semaglutide tablets, 1.5/4 mg) self-pay tier — 4 mg rises to $199/mo after 8/31/2026
Watch-outs
- Wegovy only — no Ozempic, no tirzepatide, no compounded GLP-1
- Requires an existing Wegovy prescription — no prescribing clinicians or telehealth intake
- No clinical support included — your own prescriber handles titration and side effects
- Manufacturer-set pricing can change at any time
- $199 pen intro covers only the first 2 fills for new patients (through 6/30/2026); maintenance doses are $349/mo ($399 HD)
Our Verdict
NovoCare Pharmacy edges out Stealth Health with a higher overall score of 8.7/10 and is particularly strong for branded Wegovy at the lowest manufacturer-direct self-pay price. Stealth Health remains a solid alternative, especially if you're looking for a free, pay-after-prescription weight-loss intake on a multi-condition telehealth platform.
