How I scored Obu Health
Each factor is scored from Obu Health's real pricing, disclosures and the actual signup, then combined into the 60/100 Mom-Tested Score by 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.

Independently verified 2026-08-04 via direct fetch of the homepage, FAQ, tirzepatide product page, and returns/refunds page — all fully server-rendered (Shopify). '$190/mo' semaglutide and '$239/mo' tirzepatide confirmed verbatim. Both compounding pharmacies are named with full addresses on the FAQ. A self-serve 'cancel at any time' policy is confirmed on the Returns & Refunds page. No state list published anywhere. No FDA warning letter found for Obu Health / obuhealth.com in a direct search.
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/FSA is commonly accepted for GLP-1 telehealth — check your plan. Prices reflect Obu Health's public disclosures at last review and 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 the real monthly cost. 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 ~$166/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 timing around nursing and pregnancy timing — 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 on nursing and pregnancy timing and the real monthly cost against the picks below. 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 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.
- Visit Gala HealthMom-Tested Score84/100B
A flat $179 for either molecule with a genuinely gentle microdosing tier — a reasonable, all-doses-included option if you can live with a yearly plan and a pharmacy it won't name.

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.
