Noom Med review: true cost, trust file, verdict
Telehealth — compounded 503A + brand referrals · One of the last big brands still shipping compounded semaglutide (503A) at all-in prices, wrapped in the Noom behavioral app. The 2022 $56M dark-pattern settlement and a cancellation flow that may not stop an in-flight med order are the fine print. The microdose tier is genuinely distinctive.
The fee anatomy#
| Medication | Tier | Med / month | True monthly | First month |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Compounded semaglutide injection | microdose, all-in | $179 | $179 | $49 |
| Compounded semaglutide injection | full dose, all-in | $279 | $279 | $129 |
| Compounded tirzepatide injection | microdose, all-in | $199 | $199 | $79 |
| Compounded tirzepatide injection | full dose, all-in | $299 | $299 | $149 |
All-in pricing (membership + med). One of the largest players still shipping compounded 503A post-crackdown. Quarterly billing detail audit scheduled.

Correction to a widely repeated claim: the $56M autorenewal settlement was a PRIVATE class action (Nichols v. Noom, S.D.N.Y., final approval July 2022), not an FTC action. The FTC case often confused with it was against WW/Kurbo over COPPA. Noom acquired its own 503A pharmacy in 2026, vertically integrating supply.
