Medical Disclaimer
We're not doctors, and this review is not medical advice. GLP-1 medications are prescription-only and require evaluation by a licensed healthcare provider. What works for one person may not work for another, and only a clinician who knows your history can determine whether a medication is appropriate for you. See our full medical disclaimer.
What Is Wisp?
Wisp is a direct-to-consumer women's health brand — contraception, sexual health, skin, PCOS, menopause — that extended into weight care. Its strength is breadth at low prices: birth control from $12 to $25, metformin from $24, spironolactone from $24, and a long list of prescription skin and hair treatments, all on one account.
The weight-care line has changed since we first reviewed it, and the change matters. Wisp now sells a $99 one-time Weight Care Consult, which is the gateway to brand-name Wegovy, Zepbound and Saxenda — prices for those are not published on the page. Its own compounded product is compounded sublingual semaglutide drops in a 15mL bottle at $225/month.
That switch from injectable to sublingual is the single most important thing on this page. Semaglutide is a peptide with very poor oral absorption — which is precisely why the FDA-approved oral product uses an absorption-enhancer technology and comes with strict instructions about taking it on an empty stomach with a small amount of water, well before food or any other medication. A compounded sublingual drop has none of that engineering behind it and no published pharmacokinetic data showing how much of the dose actually reaches your bloodstream. It may work. Nobody has shown that it does.
To Wisp's credit, the compounded product carries the disclosure that "This product has not been evaluated by the FDA". Less good is the decision to sell a $54/month over-the-counter supplement called "GLP-1 Boost" on the same weight-care page as actual GLP-1 prescriptions. Those are not the same category of thing and the naming does not help anyone tell them apart.
How the Program Works
- Consultation process
- A one-time $99 Weight Care Consult with a licensed provider, which creates the treatment plan and opens access to the prescription options. There is no ongoing membership fee.
- Eligibility
- Clinician-assessed at the consult for prescription products. The supplement requires no prescription and no assessment, which is part of why the two sitting side by side is a problem.
- Provider involvement
- Independent licensed providers prescribe. Wisp includes monthly check-ins and 24/7 care team chat, which is more contact than its price point would suggest, though it is a product-led service rather than a structured weight programme.
- Lab requirements
- Not published. Nothing states whether bloodwork is expected before or during treatment.
- Pharmacy fulfillment
- Free delivery or local pharmacy pickup. Wisp does not name the compounding pharmacy behind the sublingual drops or state whether it is a 503A or 503B facility.
- Shipping frequency
- Monthly for the subscription products, with free delivery. Some products also offer one-time purchase rather than a subscription.
- Support services
- Monthly check-ins, 24/7 care team chat, and a very wide catalogue on the same account — contraception, PCOS treatments, menopause care, dermatology and sexual health.
Wisp Pricing
- Membership fee
- None. The $99 Weight Care Consult is a one-time charge rather than a recurring membership.
- Medication fee
- Compounded sublingual semaglutide drops (15mL) at $225/month. Metformin from $24. Brand-name Wegovy, Zepbound and Saxenda are available through the consult, with prices not published on the weight-care page. The over-the-counter Metabolic Support & GLP-1 Boost capsules start at $54/month.
- Cancellation policy
- Subscription products are managed in your Wisp account, and some products are sold as one-time purchases rather than subscriptions. The $99 consult is a single charge.
- Refund policy
- Not published as a general policy for prescription products. Ask before paying for the consult, since the brand-name prices it unlocks are not published in advance.
- Insurance
- Compounded medication and the consult are cash-pay. Brand-name prescriptions may be billable through your pharmacy benefit, and metformin is inexpensive with or without coverage.
- HSA / FSA
- Prescription medication and the consult are commonly HSA/FSA-eligible. Dietary supplements generally are not.
Pricing details worth knowing
- The $99 consult is one-time, not monthly — a genuinely cheaper entry point than the $149/month memberships elsewhere.
- Brand-name prices are not published. You find them after paying for the consult, which is the wrong way round.
- The $54/month "GLP-1 Boost" capsules are a dietary supplement. They are not GLP-1 medication and will not do what semaglutide does.
- The compounded product is a sublingual drop, not an injection. That is a meaningfully different proposition from the compounded injectables most providers sell.
- If PCOS is the reason you are here, metformin at $24 is worth discussing alongside a GLP-1 rather than instead of considering both.

Who Wisp May Be Best For
Women already using Wisp for contraception, PCOS or menopause who want weight care on the same account
Anyone with PCOS who wants metformin cheaply and a conversation about whether a GLP-1 is also appropriate
Cost-focused patients who will read carefully which product they are actually buying
Limitations
Think hard about the sublingual route. The approved oral semaglutide product needed specific absorption-enhancer technology and strict dosing instructions to work at all; a compounded drop has neither that engineering nor published absorption data. If you want compounded semaglutide, an injectable from a provider that names its pharmacy is the better-understood option.
The "GLP-1 Boost" capsules are a supplement. No supplement has been shown to produce GLP-1-medication-like weight loss, and the name invites exactly the inference it should not.
Ask what Wegovy, Zepbound and Saxenda actually cost before paying the $99 consult fee, because those figures are not on the site.
Ask which pharmacy compounds the drops and whether it is 503A or 503B.
If contraception is part of your care here, note that tirzepatide carries a labelled interaction with oral contraceptives that semaglutide does not — raise it directly rather than assuming one platform joins the dots.
About Compounded GLP-1s
The FDA declared the tirzepatide shortage resolved in December 2024 and the semaglutide shortage resolved in February 2025, which ended the window for compounding pharmacies to make large volumes of copies of those drugs (503A pharmacies had until April 22, 2025; 503B outsourcing facilities until May 22, 2025). Many telehealth companies continue to offer compounded GLP-1s prescribed for an individual patient — often as a personalized dose, a microdose, or a formulation combined with a vitamin such as B12 or B6. That practice sits in a contested legal area, and the FDA has continued to act. In a Federal Register notice published on May 1, 2026, the FDA proposed not to include semaglutide, tirzepatide or liraglutide on the 503B bulks list, saying it had not identified sufficient evidence of a clinical need for outsourcing facilities to compound them from bulk substances; the comment period was extended to July 30, 2026. Separately, in February 2026 the FDA issued warning letters to 30 telehealth companies over false or misleading claims about compounded GLP-1s, and it has continued: a further round dated 8 June 2026 — 25 warning letters, posted publicly on 16 June 2026 — reached companies including Medica Weight Loss, FITISH and Roen Health (RoenRx), again over false or misleading claims about compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide that the FDA said made the products misbranded under sections 502(a) and 502(bb) of the FD&C Act. The claims cited included suggesting the products were FDA-approved, implying equivalence to Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro or Zepbound, and asserting the "same active ingredient" or "same results" as the approved drugs. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved, which means they have not gone through the same review as the brand-name products.
None of that is specific to Wisp — it applies to every provider offering compounded medication. We cover the trade-offs in detail in our guide to brand-name versus compounded GLP-1s.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are Wisp GLP-1 Boost capsules the same as semaglutide?
No, and this is the most important thing to be clear about. Those capsules are an over-the-counter dietary supplement starting at $54/month. They are not GLP-1 medication, they require no prescription, and there is no evidence they produce anything like the weight loss semaglutide or tirzepatide do. Wisp sells them on the same weight-care page as its actual prescription products, which makes the distinction easy to miss.
How much does Wisp weight care cost?
The Weight Care Consult is $99 as a one-time charge, not a monthly membership. After that, compounded sublingual semaglutide drops are $225/month, and metformin is available from $24. Brand-name Wegovy, Zepbound and Saxenda are offered through the consult but their prices are not published on the weight-care page — which means you commit the $99 before you can see what the medication would cost.
Do sublingual semaglutide drops work?
Nobody has shown that they do, and there is a specific reason for scepticism. Semaglutide is a peptide with very poor absorption when taken by mouth — the FDA-approved oral version needed a dedicated absorption-enhancer technology and comes with strict instructions about an empty stomach, a small sip of water and waiting before eating or taking anything else. A compounded sublingual drop has none of that behind it and no published pharmacokinetic data. It carries Wisp's own disclosure that the product has not been evaluated by the FDA. If you want compounded semaglutide, a compounded injectable is the better-characterised route.
Is Wisp good for PCOS?
It is a reasonable and cheap place to start, and PCOS is where the GLP-1 evidence in women is strongest. Wisp sells metformin from $24 for PCOS-related concerns alongside spironolactone, eflornithine for facial hair, oral minoxidil, and a wide range of contraception from $12. Having those on one account with a weight-care option is genuinely useful. What it is not is a specialist endocrinology service, so if your PCOS is complex, treat this as convenient access to inexpensive medication rather than as comprehensive care.
Who should not use Wisp for weight care?
Anyone who wants a compounded injectable, since Wisp's compounded option is now sublingual. Anyone who wants to know the brand-name price before spending $99. Anyone who needs structured clinical support rather than product access. Separately, GLP-1 medications are not appropriate if you have a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or MEN 2, if you are pregnant or trying to conceive, or if you have had pancreatitis.
The Verdict
Wisp is a low-cost women's health platform that added weight care. It now sells a $99 one-time consult, compounded sublingual semaglutide drops at $225/month, metformin from $24, brand-name Wegovy, Zepbound and Saxenda through the consult, and an over-the-counter "GLP-1 Boost" supplement at $54/month that is not GLP-1 medication at all.

How We Researched This Review
We compiled this review on August 7, 2026 from Wisp's own published pages plus independent reporting. We have not signed up for this service ourselves, and we say so rather than implying firsthand testing.
