# Ro review

Brand GLP-1s only, with the membership billed as a second monthly charge.

## The verdict

Ro sells FDA-approved GLP-1s only. Foundayo starts at $149 a month for the medication. The Ro Body membership is billed separately. On the monthly plan it is also $149. Medication is not included in the membership. Together that is $298 a month, the figure ranked here.

Ro is a telehealth company selling weight-loss care as the Ro Body membership. The shelf lists Wegovy pill and pen, Zepbound KwikPen and pen, Foundayo pill and Ozempic. No compounded GLP-1 is listed. Some products are cash-pay only. Others take insurance.

1.  ## Who writes the prescription, and what do they see?
    
    A Ro-affiliated provider reviews an online visit. Eligibility is decided within two days, per the page. No prescribing clinician is named. A board-certified obesity physician is named for clinical content only.
    
    The membership covers an insurance concierge, provider messaging, side-effect support, dose logging and coaching. Cash-pay orders ship to the door. Insured prescriptions are collected at a pharmacy. The first membership month is refunded if the patient is not eligible.
    
2.  ## What happens when the dose goes up?
    
    Foundayo's dose ladder is published. It runs 0.8 mg, 2.5 mg, 5.5 mg, 9 mg, then 14.5 mg and 17.2 mg. The price rises with the dose. Two rungs carry a discount ending December 31, 2026. The top rungs keep their offer price only with a refill check-in inside 45 days.
    
3.  ## What the price includes
    
    Every bill has two parts. The medication is priced by drug and dose. Foundayo starts at $149 a month. The membership is a separate charge. Its month-to-month rate is $149. So Foundayo at the starting dose costs $298 a month, medication plus the required membership. Ro prints the two parts apart, never the total. Prepaid plans lower the membership. The first month costs less.
    
4.  ## What it claims, and what it cites
    
    Every GLP-1 here is an FDA-approved brand product. Ro states its cash prices match LillyDirect, NovoCare and TrumpRx. Ozempic is labeled as approved for type 2 diabetes. It may be prescribed off-label for weight loss.
    

## Where it holds up, and where it does not

-   Strength: Only FDA-approved products are sold
-   Strength: The Foundayo dose ladder is priced
-   Strength: Insurance checks are included
-   Strength: The first membership month is refundable if ineligible
-   Limitation: The membership is a second monthly charge
-   Limitation: Higher doses cost more
-   Limitation: Top-dose pricing depends on refill timing
-   Limitation: No prescribing clinician is named

## What the evidence says about this kind of treatment

The assessment above is about Ro. These are about the drugs it sells, and they are traced to the primary literature.

Right for

A buyer set on a brand GLP-1 who wants insurance help and care in one account.

Wrong for

A buyer looking for compounded medication or one all-in price.

## The evidence behind what Ro prescribes

These studies examine the medicines, not this provider. Results with approved products do not establish the quality or effectiveness of a seller’s compounded formulation.

-   [What Is Orforglipron? A Daily GLP-1 Tablet That Is Not a Peptide](https://thisglp.com/research/what-is-orforglipron)
    
    A small-molecule daily tablet, not a peptide. Over 72 weeks in 3,127 adults, weight fell 11.2% on the top dose against 2.1% on placebo. No trial has compared it against an injection.
    

## How Ro compares

| Seller | Who it suits | Go |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Hims | Buyers set on brand Wegovy or Zepbound who accept a monthly membership on top |  |
| Hers | Readers who want a wide catalog and will budget the membership as the main charge |  |
| Found | Readers who will commit to a longer term and want coaching and membership inside one figure |  |

## Frequently asked

How much is Foundayo through Ro?

$149 a month at the starting dose, for the medication alone. The required membership adds $149 on the monthly plan, so $298 a month in all.

Is the membership included in the medication price?

No. Ro states medication is not included in the membership cost.

Does Ro sell compounded GLP-1s?

No. The shelf lists FDA-approved brand products only.

Is Ro expensive compared with other GLP-1 telehealth sellers?

Ro publishes a starting figure of $298/mo. Across the 402 GLP-1 telehealth sellers we review that publish a single monthly figure, those run $49 to $525.42 with a median of $190, which puts Ro above the median. The other 178 GLP-1 telehealth sellers we review quote only after an intake or price by dose, so they are not in that comparison. A starting figure is not a bill — labs, consultations and shipping are often charged separately, so confirm what your own quote includes.
