New Wave Health Review

Our assessment

New Wave Health sells compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide and says plainly that neither is FDA-approved. What it does not do is price them. The only figure on the site is a starting plan price on the homepage, labeled as confirmed after provider review, and no page says which drug or dose it buys. Several of its own pages also disagree with its Terms, on cancellation, service area and privacy.

One price, and no drug attached to it

The semaglutide and tirzepatide pages each promise flat-rate pricing and no hidden fees. Neither prints a figure. Both say the program is available by consultation.

The one number on the site sits under a BMI calculator on the homepage, as a starting monthly plan price confirmed after provider review. It is not linked to semaglutide, tirzepatide or the microdose program.

The intake does not fill the gap. It asks about goals, activity, sleep and stress, then asks for your height and weight, and no price has appeared by then.

What the monthly price covers

The program pages list what the flat-rate program includes, starting with the compounded medication, then a provider, dose adjustments, messaging, check-ins and delivery. The Terms back that up: a subscription is billed as one total that covers the pharmacy, the medical group and the platform.

The drug pages also promise no surcharge when your dose changes. That matters, since the program pages describe the dose rising over the first months. Get the quote for your dose in writing before you pay.

Compounded, and a microdose with no name

Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide are not FDA-approved and are not the same as the branded medications, and New Wave Health says so on its homepage. That statement is in plain view, not tucked into the Terms.

No brand-name product is sold. Every formulation, the site says, is prepared by licensed US compounding pharmacies, none of which is named.

A third program, the GLP-1 microdose, is pitched at body composition rather than weight loss. It never names the molecule it doses.

A platform that talks like a clinic

The program pages promise a dedicated provider and a licensed care team, and the contact page calls the Virginia Beach office a clinic address. The Terms say something different. New Wave Health describes itself there as a technology platform that does not practice medicine, prescribe or dispense.

The care comes from independent providers and medical groups that are never named. The Terms also say some of the company's owners may have financial interests in those third parties.

Two more clauses are worth reading before you buy. You waive the right to fill the prescription at a pharmacy of your choice, and the medication may not come in child-resistant packaging.

Cancellation, service area and privacy, each stated twice

The drug pages ask for 30 days' notice before the next billing cycle. The Terms let you switch off auto-refill in the patient portal up to two days before the monthly charge, and promise a notice five to seven days before each one.

The homepage FAQ says the service reaches all 50 states. The drug pages and the contact page say Virginia and the states where its providers are licensed, without naming them.

The footer describes the company as HIPAA compliant, while its Terms say it is not a HIPAA covered entity; those statements concern different roles and are not inherently contradictory. Separately, the FAQ says it never sells or shares data, while the California notice describes potential sharing, including with advertising networks. Clarify which policy applies to your information.
