How does online GLP-1 prescribing work?
You complete a medical intake online (about 5 minutes at Agave), a provider licensed in your state reviews your health history, and if treatment is appropriate they prescribe it and a U.S. state-licensed pharmacy ships it to your door. You are not charged for medication if the provider decides it isn't appropriate.
How much does semaglutide cost per month without insurance?
Compounded semaglutide programs typically run $199–$400+/month across the industry, often with extra fees for visits, labs, or shipping. Agave Longevity's all-inclusive price starts at $179/month (52-week plan) and never rises as your dose increases.
Do I need insurance for online semaglutide or tirzepatide?
No. Compounded GLP-1 programs like Agave's are cash-pay and don't require insurance. Many patients use FSA/HSA funds; check with your plan administrator.
Is compounded semaglutide FDA-approved?
No individual compounded medication is FDA-approved. Compounding is legal and regulated at the pharmacy level — medications in Agave's program are prepared by U.S. state-licensed pharmacies — but compounded drugs do not go through the FDA's brand approval process.
How fast will I lose weight on a GLP-1?
It varies with the person, medication, dose, and habits — responsible providers won't promise a number. Appetite effects typically begin in the first weeks, while dosing usually escalates gradually over several months. Your provider tracks progress and adjusts.
What is GLP-1 microdosing?
Using lower-than-standard maintenance doses to balance effect against side effects and cost. It suits some people and not others — see our full microdosing guide, and talk to a provider about whether it fits your situation. Agave's microdosing program starts at $169/month.
Will my price go up as my dose increases?
At many providers, yes — dose-tier pricing is a common industry pattern. At Agave Longevity, no: your monthly price is flat and never rises with your dose.
Can I stop taking a GLP-1 once I reach my goal?
You can, though appetite typically returns and regain is common without a maintenance plan. Options include continuing at a lower maintenance dose, tapering with habit support, or stopping with monitoring — a provider decision, made with you.
