What to expect when you sign up with New Tides
We walked New Tides’s public signup flow in November 2026 to document the process (the steps, pricing transparency, and what’s required) before you commit. (We don’t create accounts, enter medical information, or check out; this is the observable funnel, not a prescribing outcome.)
- 1'Get started' or a plan's button opens a six-step intake whose first screen asks for your first name, email, state and date of birth
- 2New Tides says the health questions take under 3 minutes and screen out anyone a treatment isn't safe for before they pay anything
- 3You save a card during sign-up; New Tides says it is charged only when the physician sends a prescription
- 4A physician reviews your answers, with a live video visit first in states that require one, and the pharmacy ships FedEx 2-day
- Both prices are on the homepage, the weight-loss page and the how-it-works page before you start, labeled the same at every dose
- There is no subscription: each prescription is charged when it is sent, and stopping means no further prescription is sent
- The site doesn't name its physician or its pharmacy
- A page lists which states need a video visit for every encounter, for the first one only, or not at all
- Peptides are described without prices; New Tides says pricing is confirmed before anything is dispensed

- The physician who leads care isn't named anywhere on the site
- Serves 45 states and DC, so five states aren't covered yet
- No refund once a prescription has gone to the pharmacy, even if it hasn't arrived

Is New Tides worth it?
The short version of what New Tides offers is flat per-prescription compounded GLP-1 pricing with no subscription and no charge until a physician prescribes. It runs $200/month at every dose, squarely in the middle of what this category charges, so what you get for it matters more here than the number itself. Its flat, all-dose pricing helps anyone worried about cost climbing as they titrate up.
Beyond the medication itself, New Tides is LegitScript-certified. It also charges the same price at every dose and doesn't lock you into a subscription.
How much New Tides costs
Compounded semaglutide runs $200/month and compounded tirzepatide runs $250/month.
That's roughly in line with the ~$179/month median across the GLP-1 providers we track (each program's lowest listed ongoing monthly price for compounded semaglutide).
For a direct comparison, Belle Health runs semaglutide and tirzepatide from $199/month, so compare it with New Tides before you commit.
Medications: what New Tides prescribes
New Tides prescribes semaglutide (the active drug in Wegovy and Ozempic) and tirzepatide (the active drug in Zepbound and Mounjaro), the pair backed by the largest published weight-loss trials. These are dispensed as compounded formulations from a licensed pharmacy, which is how the price stays below brand-name pens. Compounded drugs aren't FDA-approved as finished products, which is the standard trade-off across the compounded-GLP-1 market.
Who New Tides is best for, and who should skip it
A good fit if you…
- want a straightforward telehealth GLP-1 program and are comfortable comparing it against the alternatives below.
Look elsewhere if you…
- specifically want an FDA-approved brand-name pen instead of a compounded formulation, which this provider doesn't fill.
- need to bill insurance, since like most of this market it's cash-pay with no claims filed on your behalf.
Trust, safety, and medical oversight
New Tides is available in 45 states, and we found no FDA warning letter on file for it. As with any compounded program, the most important step you can take is confirming which licensed pharmacy fills your prescription and what's in the formulation, and we explain how in our scoring methodology.
