Hello Dose publishes every price, names every medication and tells you in its own words that compounded drugs are not FDA-reviewed. It is more forthcoming than most of this category. What it is forthcoming about is a price roughly triple the going rate, sold on a minimum four-month commitment with no published way to cancel.
The Prices Are High
The standard programme is $495 per month for compounded semaglutide and $695 per month for compounded tirzepatide. A maintenance programme is offered at $199.
These are compounded preparations of the same two molecules that other services on this site sell in the $150 to $300 range. Hello Dose is asking roughly two to three times that, for a product with no branded manufacturer behind it.
A premium can be legitimate — more clinician time, tighter follow-up, better fulfilment. But a premium has to be visible in what you receive, and the site does not identify anything at this price point that cheaper competitors omit. There is no named pharmacy, no published lab programme, no coaching or dietitian component, and no stated state coverage that would explain the gap.
For context, at $695 a month tirzepatide costs more here than several services charge for brand-name Zepbound, which is the FDA-approved product with the trial data attached. When a compounded copy costs more than the original, the comparison is worth making explicitly before you buy.
There Is No Monthly Option
The standard and maintenance programmes are sold in 4, 8 or 12-month terms, with discounts for the longer ones. The microdose programme is sold in 6 or 12-month terms. There is no single-month option published anywhere.
Multiply it out. The shortest available commitment for standard semaglutide is four months at $495, which is $1,980. For tirzepatide it is $2,780. The shortest microdose commitment is six months at $395, or $2,370.
Against those numbers, no cancellation policy and no refund policy is published anywhere on the site. The commitment is stated; the exit is not.
That combination is the single most important thing on this page. GLP-1 medications have a real discontinuation rate — gastrointestinal side effects are common, and a meaningful share of people stop within the first months. A four-month minimum asks you to bear that risk in full, before you know how you tolerate the drug, with no published mechanism for stopping. Anyone considering this should get the cancellation terms in writing first, and treat their absence from the site as the material fact it is.
A Premium Price for a Smaller Dose
The microdose programme is $395 for semaglutide and $595 for tirzepatide. Two separate problems stack here.
The first is the one we keep finding across this category: there is no established microdosing protocol for either molecule. Both were studied at defined doses with defined escalation schedules, and every published weight-loss figure comes from those regimens. A dose below the studied range has not been tested for this purpose — it is an untested dose, not a gentler version of a tested one. We have flagged the same tier at Invigor Medical, Belle and Measured.
The second is specific to Hello Dose. Elsewhere, the microdose tier is at least the cheap option — the trade being less medication for less money. Here, $395 a month for a sub-therapeutic dose is more than many competitors charge for a full therapeutic one. You are paying a premium to receive less of the drug than the trials used, on a six-month minimum. It is difficult to construct a reading in which that is a good purchase.
What It Gets Right
The disclosure deserves genuine credit. Hello Dose names its medications, publishes every price for every tier, and states plainly that “compounded medications are not reviewed by the FDA for safety, effectiveness, or quality.” A great many competitors do none of those three, and several actively blur the compounded question. Saying it clearly, on your own sales page, is the right thing to do.
The clinical process is also described in real terms: a video consultation with a licensed provider, a comprehensive medical intake with contraindication screening before treatment, and ongoing follow-ups for dose titration and side-effect monitoring. Contraindication screening is not universal in this field, and mentioning titration and monitoring suggests someone is actually managing the dose rather than shipping a box.
The maintenance programme at $199 is a sensible product too. Maintenance dosing after reaching a goal weight is a real clinical need, and pricing it below the titration phase reflects how these medications are actually used long term.

Pros and Cons
Pros
- Names both medications and publishes every tier price
- States in its own words that compounded drugs are not FDA-reviewed
- Video consultation with a licensed provider, not an asynchronous form
- Contraindication screening before treatment
- Follow-ups for dose titration and side-effect monitoring
- A dedicated maintenance tier at a lower price
Cons
- Roughly two to three times the going rate for compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide
- No monthly option — minimum four months, or six on microdose
- No cancellation or refund policy published at all
- Minimum exposure of about $1,980 to $2,780 before you know how you tolerate the drug
- Microdose tier costs more than rivals charge for a full dose
- No states, BMI criteria, labs, pharmacy, shipping or insurance detail
Who It May Be Best For
Possibly suitable if you have already been on a GLP-1, know you tolerate it, and value the video consultation and titration follow-up enough to pay a premium for it. The tolerance question is what makes a long commitment less risky.
Get the cancellation terms in writing before paying anything. A four-month minimum with no published exit is the central risk here, and it is answerable in one email.
Price-check first. At these figures, compare against brand-name Zepbound and Wegovy, not just other compounded sellers — at $695 a month the approved product may cost the same or less, with trial data and a manufacturer behind it.
Avoid the microdose tier. Paying above the market rate for a dose below the studied range, on a six-month minimum, is the weakest offer on the site.
Alternatives
Measured publishes brand-name prices that undercut this on tirzepatide. Maximus and PeterMD are the closest men’s-health comparisons. Our cheapest GLP-1 programs page and GLP-1 cost guide cover what these drugs should actually cost.
Limitations of This Review
Based on Hello Dose’s own published materials at hellodose.com, checked on 5 September 2026. The commitment totals are our arithmetic from the published monthly prices and minimum terms; discounted rates are offered for the 8 and 12-month options and would lower the effective monthly figure. Anything marked not published means we could not find it — cancellation terms in particular may exist in materials we did not reach, and that is precisely why we suggest asking. Comparative price ranges refer to other providers reviewed on this site. Statements about microdosing reflect published trial regimens, not a claim by Hello Dose. Nothing here is medical advice.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Hello Dose cost?
Compounded semaglutide is $495 a month and tirzepatide $695 on the standard programme, $395 and $595 on microdose, and $199 for maintenance. Medication is sold only in 4, 8 or 12-month terms — 6 or 12 for microdose — so the minimum outlay runs from roughly $1,980 upward.
Can I cancel if I do not tolerate it?
No cancellation or refund policy is published on the site. Given a four-month minimum and the known discontinuation rate for these medications, get the terms in writing before paying.
Is the microdose programme cheaper?
Cheaper than Hello Dose’s own standard tier, but not cheap. At $395 a month it exceeds what many providers charge for a full therapeutic dose, and no microdosing protocol has been established for either molecule.
Is the medication FDA-approved?
No — it is compounded, and Hello Dose says so directly, noting that compounded medications are not reviewed by the FDA for safety, effectiveness or quality. That disclosure is to its credit.
Verdict
2.4 / 5 — $495–$695/month, four-month minimum
Honest about what it sells and clear about what it costs, which is more than much of this category manages. What it sells costs two to three times the going rate, on a commitment you cannot exit according to anything published.
The point worth carrying beyond this provider: transparency about a price is not the same as a fair price, and a published minimum term is only half a contract. When a service tells you exactly how long you are committing for and says nothing about how to stop, the silence is the term that matters.
