Willow

  • The reviewed catalogue lists compounded products; a current brand-name Wegovy or Zepbound offer did not appear there
  • Both headline prices are starting prices. Tirzepatide starts at $399/mo against $299 for semaglutide, and on the help center pricing article maintenance tirzepatide injections run $499/mo from 8.5 mg, $524/mo at 13.5 mg and $549/mo at 17 mg (checked 2026-09-03)
Willow's strengths, cautions and terms

Strengths

  • Includes monthly provider check-ins and dose adjustments at no extra cost
  • Compounded daily dissolving tablets for semaglutide and tirzepatide, offering a needle-free format to discuss with the prescriber
  • $299/mo covers compounded semaglutide at the starting doses, injectable or tablet, with monthly provider support and no separate consultation fee
  • A US licensed doctor reviews and confirms the prescription the same day, and two-day shipping is free, both stated on the product pages (verified 2026-09-03)

More to watch for

  • Willow does not bill insurance and says HSA/FSA cards are accepted. Its help center discusses submitting receipts for reimbursement, but its terms and consent say users will not submit insurance claims. Those statements conflict; get written clarification before relying on reimbursement (sources accessed October 8, 2026)
  • The program auto-renews. Its FAQ and policies differ between two business days before processing and two calendar days before processing or shipping. Refunds also depend on whether the prescription has reached the pharmacy. Confirm the applicable deadline and current-order limits in writing (sources accessed October 8, 2026)

  • Semaglutide (compounded injectable)
  • Semaglutide (compounded oral tablet, daily)
