Quick answer: GLP-1 microdosing at Prometheuz costs $179 a month, or $169 a month on the 3-month plan. That's one flat price across all 7 goal-matched programs. A licensed provider on your care team reviews your health history and body weight before prescribing.
If you are looking for a low-dose, goal-specific GLP-1 program for energy, sleep, mental acuity, or similar health improvements and not full-dose weight loss, this is the cost and qualification baseline. Below, you'll see how the 7 programs are structured, who may qualify, what ongoing care management looks like, whether insurance applies, possible side effects, and how Prometheuz pricing compares with full-dose GLP-1 costs.

| Plan Monthly Cost Details |
| Monthly (4-week) | $179/mo | New patients only |
| 3-Month Plan | $169/mo | Save $30 total, billed $507, new and maintenance patients |
All 7 programs cost the same. Your clinician matches you to a formulation based on your goal, not the price. See full GLP-1 Microdosing details
7 Goal-Matched GLP 1 Medications and Programs
GLP-1 medications, first developed for blood sugar control by companies like Novo Nordisk, also reduce appetite. Microdosing uses a low dose of this same mechanism. This is paired with a supporting compound, instead of the higher doses used for significant weight loss. Each program pairs a low-dose GLP-1 with a supporting compound for a specific goal:
- Muscle & Energy (oral): GLP-1 + NAD + L-carnitine + B12
- Energy & Mental Acuity (injectable or oral): GLP-1 + NAD + B12, or GLP-1 + NAD + L-carnitine + B12
- Elevated A1C / Prediabetes (oral): GLP-1 + inositol
- Sleep Support (oral ODT/tablets): GLP-1 + NAD + B12 + magnesium + L-theanine
- Muscle & Energy + Side Effect Mitigation (injectable or oral): GLP-1 + B12 + methionine + inositol + choline chloride
Possible Side Effects
Because microdosing uses a low dose, potential side effects tend to be fewer than with full-dose GLP-1, though safety concerns aren't eliminated. Nausea is the most commonly reported. Abdominal pain, diarrhea, constipation, and vomiting are also possible, especially early on. Research on this medicine at lower doses is still developing.
Minimizing potential side effects and helping you minimize discomfort generally is part of why several programs pair GLP-1 with a supporting compound. Your licensed clinician monitors your response and can adjust the dose if tolerance is an issue. Contact your care team if side effects don't improve or feel severe.
What Affects GLP-1 Microdosing Cost
Unlike full-dose GLP-1 weight loss, microdosing pricing doesn't vary by medication. Here's what actually applies:
- Plan length. The 3-month plan saves $30 total over paying monthly. There's no longer commitment option yet.
- Program choice doesn't change price. All 7 goal-matched formulations cost the same $179 or $169 a month.
- BMI eligibility. A BMI above 20 is required for all programs. This is a lower bar than full-dose weight loss programs, since microdosing isn't primarily for weight loss.
- Compounded status. These formulations aren't FDA-approved products. They're compounded through a licensed 503A pharmacy for a documented individual clinical reason.
Microdosing GLP 1s vs. Full Dose Weight Loss: Cost Compared
Full dose GLP-1 weight loss at Prometheuz runs $179 to $339 a month, depending on medication, though traditional GLP-1 dosing often falls in the $300 to $1,000 per month range, while microdosing commonly lands around $150 to $400 per month. Microdosing runs $169 to $179 a month, flat, regardless of formulation. Full dose programs use higher doses aimed at significant average weight loss. Microdosing targets specific goals like energy, sleep, or mental acuity instead.
For reference, many GLP-1 medications cost over $1,000 a month without insurance, and some standard doses can reach $1,349 per month.
Other providers offer similar low-dose options at a comparably low cost. For instance, noom med's Microdose GLP-1Rx Program starts at $79 for three weeks, then prices around $179 to $199 a month, plus separate membership fees. Brand-name medications like Wegovy and Zepbound aren't part of microdosing programs, which use compounded semaglutide instead. If you want to lose meaningful weight, full-dose GLP-1 is the more direct path. If you want more support for a specific goal instead, microdosing may fit better.
Insurance Coverage and Medicare for GLP-1 Microdosing
Generally, no coverage. These are compounded medication formulations, not FDA-approved weight-loss drugs, so insurance coverage for this category is rare. Health savings accounts and flexible spending accounts may still apply, since compounded medication prescribed by a medical professional often qualifies. Check with your provider directly.
The Medicare GLP-1 Bridge Program applies to full-dose weight-loss GLP-1, based on body weight measures and specific health conditions. Microdosing programs don't fit that eligibility model, since they aren't primarily weight-loss treatment. Prometheuz operates cash-pay for microdosing, so pricing doesn't depend on insurance or Medicare status either way.
What's Included in Every Program
- Private health assessment and clinician consultation
- Goal-matched GLP-1 formulation
- 12-week consult rhythm
- Medication shipped every 4 weeks
- Medication management and follow-up support
- Labs recommended, not required
Nothing here is billed separately. The flat price covers the consultation, the medication, and ongoing support, not just the prescription. Benefits like diet support and guidance toward healthier choices from your healthcare provider are part of the program too.
GLP-1 Microdosing Cost Over Time
Getting started. Your first visit includes intake and a clinician consultation. Your clinician confirms BMI eligibility and matches you to a program.
Ongoing. Follow-up happens on a 12-week rhythm, not monthly. Medication still ships every 4 weeks. Your clinician tracks progress at each visit. If you ever want to stop taking a program, talk to your clinician first. The 3-month plan is a small but real saving if you know you'll continue past one month.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does GLP-1 microdosing cost per month?
$179 a month, or $169 a month on the 3-month plan. That price is the same across all 7 goal-matched programs.
Why does microdosing cost less than full-dose GLP-1?
It's a lower dose, not a lower-quality product. Full-dose GLP-1 weight loss pricing varies by medication complexity. Microdosing uses one flat price across all formulations instead.
Do I need a certain BMI to qualify?
Yes. A BMI above 20 is required for every program. That's lower than typical weight-loss program thresholds, since microdosing isn't primarily for significant weight loss.
Can I switch between the 7 programs?
Yes, based on your clinician's review of your goals and how you're responding. Pricing stays the same no matter which program you switch to.
Do I need labs before starting?
Labs are recommended but not required. Your clinician may still suggest them depending on your program and health history.
Can I move from microdosing to full-dose GLP-1 later?
That's a conversation for your clinician, based on your goals and response. Your plan and pricing would change to reflect whichever program you move to.
