Everything for one price.
What semaglutide costs at each dose.
You pay per vial, not per month. As your dose increases, each vial lasts fewer weeks, so your weekly cost goes up. Here is what to expect at each step, so there are no surprises.
| Weeks | Weekly dose | Approx. cost per week |
|---|---|---|
| 1–4 | 0.25 mg | $10 |
| 5–8 | 0.5 mg | $20 |
| 9–12 | 1 mg | $40 |
| 13–16 | 1.7 mg | $68 |
| 17 and on | 2.4 mg | $96 |
Based on a typical schedule that raises the dose every 4 weeks. A vial typically lasts about 8 to 10 weeks. At 1.7 mg a vial lasts about 5 to 6 weeks, and at 2.4 mg about 4 weeks.
Not everyone needs the highest dose. Amanda sets and adjusts your dose based on how you respond, and reviews your expected costs with you at your consultation. Cost per week is based on $400 per 10 mg vial, which can be paid in 2 installments of $200.

What is compounded semaglutide?
Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist, a type of medication that acts like GLP-1, a hormone your body naturally releases after eating. It is the active ingredient in the FDA-approved brand-name products Wegovy and Ozempic.
Compounded semaglutide is prepared by a licensed compounding pharmacy for an individual patient with a prescription. It is not FDA-approved, and it is not the same as, or a generic version of, Wegovy or Ozempic. At Nuvo, it's prescribed only after a clinical evaluation, alongside guidance on nutrition, activity and follow-up.
How it works
- Helps you feel full sooner and stay full longer
- Reduces appetite and food cravings for many people
- Slows how quickly your stomach empties
- Helps the body release insulin when blood sugar is elevated
Who it may help, and who should not take it.
Who may be a candidate
FDA-approved versions of this medication for weight management are used for adults with a BMI of 30 or higher, or a BMI of 27 or higher with at least one weight-related condition such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes or high cholesterol, together with a reduced-calorie diet and more physical activity.
Compounded medications are not FDA-approved. Whether treatment is appropriate for you is decided by Amanda after a clinical evaluation of your health history, current medications and goals. Nuvo serves adults located in Florida.
Do not use if you have
- A personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer
- Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2)
- A prior serious allergic reaction to semaglutide
Tell Amanda before starting if you
- Are pregnant, planning a pregnancy or breastfeeding
- Have had pancreatitis, gallbladder disease or kidney problems
- Have type 2 diabetes, especially with diabetic eye disease (retinopathy)
- Take insulin or a sulfonylurea, which can raise the risk of low blood sugar
- Have a surgery or procedure with anesthesia or sedation coming up
- Take any other GLP-1 or weight-loss medication
- Have a history of depression or other mental health concerns
How Semaglutide is taken.
- Once a week, on the same day each week, as a small injection under the skin of the stomach, thigh or upper arm.
- Started at a low dose and increased gradually, generally no more often than every 4 weeks, and only when Amanda directs. Going slowly helps your body adjust and can reduce stomach side effects.
- Shipped overnight cold via FedEx with your syringes and supplies. Keep it refrigerated.
- If you miss a dose, call or text Nuvo at (772) 210-4649 for guidance rather than guessing.
- Planning a pregnancy? FDA labeling for semaglutide advises stopping at least 2 months before a planned pregnancy. Talk with Amanda first.
