Edessa review

Homepage quotes the prepay

The figure on the homepage is a six-month rate; one month costs $44 more.

What Edessa charges, and what it bills

One row per molecule and delivery route. Where the two figures differ, the struck number is what Edessa leads with and the figure under it is what a buyer cannot get below. Both are published by the seller; neither is a walked checkout.

The 6-month column is the billed monthly figure multiplied by 6. It is arithmetic on published prices, not a forecast of a bill: a real six months also carries dose changes, labs and shipping, and those are covered below where Edessa states them.

The bottom line

Edessa leads with $135 on its own homepage, a figure read there in September 2026. That rate applies only to a six-month prepaid term on the compounded injection. A single month of the same compounded injection is priced at $179 instead.

Pricing transparency

How Edessa publishes its prices

The compounded semaglutide injection is priced at $179 for one month, read in September 2026. Three months prices the same injection at $160 a month, and six months prices it at $135. The homepage line reading start for just $135 is therefore that six-month prepaid rate. The compounded semaglutide tablet runs $229, then $209, then $199 across those same three terms. The compounded tirzepatide injection runs $239 for one month, $219 for three, and $209 for six. Taking the injection rather than the tablet saves $50 a month at the one-month term. Every rate on these pages is stated to hold flat as the dose rises.

The seller

What Edessa is

Edessa sells compounded semaglutide in two delivery routes, as a weekly injection and as a tablet. Compounded tirzepatide is offered as an injection alone, with no tablet priced beside it. Coverage is stated across all 50 states and the District of Columbia. Each of the three products carries its own plan table listing three separate terms.

How it works

Prescribing runs entirely online, and every product page ends in a plan table rather than a single price. A term is chosen at the checkout, and the term chosen is what sets the monthly rate. No charge outside the plan appears anywhere beside those tables, read in September 2026. Bloodwork is not priced on any of the three product pages.

Branded or compounded

All three products are compounded, which means that none of them is FDA-approved. A compounded drug is also not reviewed by the FDA before it is dispensed to a buyer. The injection page states that compounded semaglutide medication is what a buyer actually receives. The compounding pharmacy behind those products is not named on any of the three pages.

Who priced this, and how

Wesley Jenkins

Standards editor · Figures last read September 2026

Every figure above is what Edessa publishes on its own pages, read in the month stated beside it, with any charge a buyer cannot decline added back before anything ranks. The rules a price has to meet before it appears here are set out in the methodology. A partnership sets display order on the surfaces that say so and never moves a score — how this site makes money.
