New Wave Health review
It names compounded semaglutide, compounded tirzepatide and a microdose, and prices none of them. The only figure on the site is a “from $149 a month” attached to no named product, and every treatment page prints “available by consultation” where the number would go. Cancellation wants thirty days' notice, and the site is the same compiled application as two other GLP-1 brands.
- Independently scored
- Verified
Every medical claim in this piece is footnoted to the record it came from — the trial or the FDA label — so you can read the source rather than take the masthead's word for it. No one on this desk is your clinician.

How we scored New Wave Health
Each score comes out of New Wave Health's published pricing, disclosures and oversight, and the six combine into the 37/100 Editors' Rating on the same weighted six-factor framework we apply to every provider — never nudged by whether a provider pays us.
Cost is unpredictable, premium, or hides behind a plan commitment.
Oversight and lab support fall short of the top of this roster — the review below says exactly where.
The headline rate obscures a plan requirement or a hidden step-up.
Little here is shaped around a mother's week or her life stage.
Support is thin once the prescription ships.
Leaving costs you — notice windows, minimum terms or fees you don't get back.

No price for either molecule anywhere on the site. The only figure is a 'from $149 a month' attached to no named product, with every treatment page printing 'available by consultation'. Thirty days' notice to cancel, and the same compiled application as two other brands.
What we like
- Names its operating company, New Wave Health LLC, and where it is based
- Offers a lower-dose microdose option alongside the two usual molecules
The caveats
- Publishes no price for semaglutide or tirzepatide anywhere on the site
- The only figure, "from $149", is attached to no named product
- Cancellation requires thirty days' notice and anything already begun is non-refundable
- Its own answers disagree about whether coverage is Virginia-plus or all fifty states
- The site is the same compiled application as two other GLP-1 brands, with the same testimonial photograph
- Nothing addresses pregnancy, breastfeeding or postpartum timing
New Wave Health for mothers: our verdict
It names compounded semaglutide, compounded tirzepatide and a microdose, and prices none of them. The only figure on the site is a “from $149 a month” attached to no named product, and every treatment page prints “available by consultation” where the number would go. Cancellation wants thirty days' notice, and the site is the same compiled application as two other GLP-1 brands.
We weigh New Wave Health the way mothers actually have to: not just the real monthly cost, but the real monthly cost once the dose climbs and whether a real clinician stands behind it — the things a generic roundup never gets to.
What New Wave Health actually costs
New Wave Health doesn't post a standard monthly cash price up front — pricing appears after an intake quiz. Get a written quote and confirm the ongoing rate before you commit.
The medications New Wave Health prescribes
New Wave Health prescribes semaglutide (the active drug in Wegovy and Ozempic). These are compounded formulations from a licensed pharmacy — the reason the price stays down — but compounded GLP-1s aren't FDA-approved finished products the way Wegovy and Zepbound are.
Where New Wave Health fits — and where it doesn't — for mothers
Worth it if…
- uninterrupted nationwide access matters — a move for family shouldn't interrupt care.
Give it a miss if…
- you specifically want an FDA-approved brand pen with its own pregnancy and lactation labeling.
- you want frictionless cancellation — the fine print here is where the complaints cluster.
- you'd rather a prescriber talk through timing around the real monthly cost once the dose climbs — that's what our #1 pick, CoreAge Rx, is built for.
Trust, safety, and oversight
Our confidence is moderate — the core facts check out, but some details (per-state availability, program mechanics) aren't fully public. As with any compounded GLP-1, the most useful thing mothers can do is confirm which licensed pharmacy fills the prescription and what's in the formulation — we explain how we weigh oversight in our Editors' Rating methodology.
One line that applies to every provider on this masthead: no GLP-1 is established as safe in pregnancy or while breastfeeding, and the labels advise against use. This is a review of a commercial program, not a green light — the timing decision belongs to you and your clinician.
The bottom line
New Wave Health is a reasonable option — weigh it on the real monthly cost once the dose climbs and whether a real clinician stands behind it against the alternatives below. For most mothers, CoreAge Rx remains the stronger all-round fit — see why it tops our ranking.
The bottom line for mothers
Best for: Almost nobody comparing costs today — there is no published price here to compare against anything.
Alternatives to New Wave Health
Providers we have a referral relationship with, ordered by their Editors' Rating — highest first. A fee never moves a rating, but it does decide who appears here, so this is not the whole roster: the full ranking lists every provider we cover.
- Visit CoreAge RxCoreAge RxOur #1 pick
The one program on this masthead whose number still makes sense at the top of the dose. A flat, all-in monthly price on both molecules, no teaser rate to expire, and a cancel button you can actually find — the closest thing to a family-budget guarantee we've reviewed.
- Visit Gala Health
A flat $179 for either molecule and a genuinely gentle microdosing tier — a reasonable, all-doses-included option, if you can live with a yearly plan and a pharmacy the marketing never names.
- Visit Sesame
A high-trust telehealth marketplace that took a clear side: FDA-approved brand GLP-1 only, no compounded shortcut. You pay a brand cash price and book a real video visit — but you get on-label pens and one of the cleaner reputations on this masthead.

Head-to-head & alternatives
New Wave Health, answered
- What does semaglutide cost here?
- New Wave Health does not say. The figure is not on the homepage, not on any of the three treatment pages and not in the FAQ; all that exists is 'from $149 a month' without naming a product. The real price arrives after intake, once personal and medical details have already been handed over.
- Is it related to other brands?
- It runs the same compiled application as two other GLP-1 telehealth brands — the same application file, the same legal text apart from the company name, and the same testimonial photograph under the same patient name and pound count. A reader comparing two of those three is comparing one site with itself rather than getting a second opinion.
- Can it be canceled at any time?
- It requires thirty days' notice before the next billing cycle, and consultations, visits and filled prescriptions are non-refundable. That is the same clause, word for word, that both of its sibling brands publish, which is itself a clue about how independent the three are.
- Which states does it serve?
- Its own answers disagree. One says the company is based in Virginia Beach and treats patients across Virginia and the states where its providers are licensed; another, in the same block, says all fifty. No list is published either way, so the specific answer has to be requested.
Pricing, states and verification reflect New Wave Health's public disclosures at last review; the Editors' Rating is our editorial judgment per the published methodology. This is background reading, not medical advice — GLP-1 medications are not established as safe in pregnancy or breastfeeding. See our medical disclaimer and how we're funded.
