How I scored Obu Health
Every factor here comes from Obu Health's own pricing, its disclosures and the signup I walked, and the six add up to the 60/100 Mom-Tested Score on the same weighted six-factor method I use on every provider — never nudged by whether a provider pays us.
Scores low here: getting started asks more of your week than most.
Scores low: pinning down the real ongoing number takes work.
Scores high on medication choice — the options that matter are covered.
Scores low: whether it reaches you is the open question.
Support is the weakest part of this provider's score.
Exit terms are the weak point: lock-in, notice periods, or a cancellation you have to chase.

$190 and $239, with both compounding pharmacies named at full addresses and a self-serve cancel-anytime policy — better disclosure than most of this list manages. The one gap is geography: no state list, just 'US only' with restrictions varying by medication.
What to expect when you sign up
I walked Obu Health's public signup funnel (August 2026) — a first-hand look at the flow. I don't create accounts, enter medical info, or check out, so this is what any visitor sees, not a patient outcome.
- 1Prices are printed right on the homepage — no quiz wall before you see a number
- 2Fill out an online health assessment; the FAQ says a doctor reviews it in about 24 hours
- 3A video or phone consult is required in some states, per the FAQ — not universally
- 4If approved, medication ships from one of two named compounding pharmacies, or your own local pharmacy if you'd rather use it
What I 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 nursing timing or a nap-time-friendly async flow specifically, though nothing found requires a live video visit either
Pricing
Prices re-verified
| Medication | Monthly | Plan |
|---|---|---|
| Compounded semaglutide | $190 | Starting priceHomepage product card: 'Starting From $190/mo.' Also sells NAD+ ($219 one-time) and sermorelin ($149/mo), outside the two molecules this site tracks. |
| Compounded tirzepatide | $239 | Starting priceHomepage product card: 'Starting From $239/mo.' Its own tirzepatide page states it 'is not FDA-approved. It is prepared by U.S.-licensed pharmacies under Section 503A.' |
HSA and FSA usually work for this — worth checking your own plan. The prices here are what Obu Health's public disclosures showed at last review, and they change often; confirm the current number on Obu Health's own site.
What I like
- Names two real compounding pharmacies with full addresses — and lets you redirect to your own local one
- Self-serve 'cancel at any time' policy, published on its own site
- Doctor review in about 24 hours per its FAQ; video/phone required only in some states
- Also offers NAD+ and sermorelin on the same account
The caveats
- No published state list
- Nothing on the site is written specifically for a nursing or postpartum timeline
- "Starting From" pricing means your actual dose may run higher than the headline number
- Compounded only, no FDA-approved brand option
What I actually think of Obu Health
Starting From $190/mo semaglutide and $239/mo tirzepatide, with two named compounding pharmacies and a real self-serve cancel-anytime policy — but no state list published anywhere, so confirm your own state first. It runs about $190/month, and it's flat at every dose.
I look at Obu Health the way moms actually have to — not just the real monthly number, but nursing and pregnancy timing and canceling without a fight. That's the stuff a generic weight-loss review skips right over.
What Obu Health really costs
- Compounded semaglutide — Starting price: $190/mo
- Compounded tirzepatide — Starting price: $239/mo
That's about in line with the ~$179/month middle of my shortlist.
Which meds Obu Health prescribes
Obu Health prescribes semaglutide and tirzepatide — the two with the strongest published weight-loss numbers, and having both on one account genuinely matters if insulin resistance is in the mix (which it often is with PCOS or after gestational diabetes), because that's when tirzepatide tends to be the better fit. These are compounded from a licensed pharmacy — that's why the price stays down — but compounded GLP-1s aren't FDA-approved finished products the way Wegovy and Zepbound are, and it's worth knowing that going in.
Who Obu Health is — and isn't — for
A good fit if…
- you might need to move between semaglutide and tirzepatide as your body and hormones shift.
Look elsewhere if…
- you specifically want an FDA-approved brand pen with its own pregnancy and lactation labeling.
- you'd rather a prescriber actually talk through nursing and pregnancy timing with you — that's what my #1 pick, CoreAge Rx, is built to do.
Can you trust it?
I'm confident in the public facts on Obu Health — pricing, pharmacies, and the clinical network all checked out when I last looked. With any compounded GLP-1, the most useful thing you can do is confirm which licensed pharmacy fills it and what's actually in the formulation — I explain how I weigh oversight in the scoring method.
One line that's true of every provider on this site: no GLP-1 is established as safe in pregnancy or while breastfeeding, and the labels say don't. This is me reviewing a commercial signup, not giving you a green light — the timing call is yours and your clinician's.
So, would I use it?
Obu Health is a reasonable option — weigh it against the picks below on nursing and pregnancy timing and canceling without a fight. For most moms, CoreAge Rx is still the stronger all-round fit — and you can see them side by side in this head-to-head.
The bottom line for moms
Best for: A mom who wants to know exactly which pharmacy is filling her order and exactly how to cancel before she hands over a card number.
If Obu Health isn't the one
Providers I have a referral relationship with, ordered by Mom-Tested Score — highest first. A fee never moves a score, but it does decide who shows up in this box, so it isn't everyone: my full ranking has every provider, paid or not.
- Visit CoreAge RxMom-Tested Score94/100ACoreAge RxMy #1 pick
The one I'd point a friend to first: I finished the intake in a single nap, the price on screen was the price I'd actually pay, and both semaglutide and tirzepatide were right there on one account.
- Visit Pallas HealthMom-Tested Score86/100B+
Pallas is one of the few places that will sell you either the cheap compounded route or the real brand-name pen without making you pick a provider first — compounded semaglutide works out to about $199 a month and tirzepatide about $299, while actual Zepbound, Ozempic, Wegovy and Mounjaro sit alongside them at cash-pay prices from $1,069. The price genuinely doesn't climb as you titrate, Pallas says so plainly on its own site, and the clinician, dose adjustments, check-ins and messaging are all inside that one number with no membership fee stacked on top. Two clinicians are named and both check out in the federal NPI registry, the LegitScript badge it displays is a real one, and it publishes an actual refund policy — full refund if a clinician turns you down, and a $5 processing fee if you cancel a qualifying payment — which is more paperwork than most of this market bothers with. The two things to know before you commit: it bills every 12 weeks in $597 and $897 chunks rather than monthly, and it never names its compounding pharmacy.
- Visit Trimi HealthMom-Tested Score85/100B
The price-first pick: some of the lowest flat, all-inclusive pricing I found, in all 50 states — great if the monthly number is your whole decision and you read the annual-prepay fine print before you sign.

Head-to-head & alternatives
Obu Health, answered
- Does Obu Health tell you which pharmacy fills your order?
- 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, not something buried in an email thread.
- 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.
Pricing, states and verification reflect Obu Health's public disclosures at last review; the Mom-Tested Score is one mom's editorial judgment per the published method. This is background reading, not medical advice — GLP-1 medications are not established as safe in pregnancy or breastfeeding. See my medical disclaimer and how I'm funded.
