Strong fit
- Cash-pay consumers looking for telehealth weight loss, hormone, or ED medicines
- Patients who want a long-running online brand with licensed providers in many states
- Buyers who understand the caveats of compounded and wellness medicines
Weak fit
- Patients who need ongoing specialty care billed to insurance at a local clinic

Nu Image Medical sells weight loss, hormone, ED, and related wellness programs directly to cash-pay consumers, with licensed providers in many states and medicines shipped home. It has done this for years, and access and price are the usual reasons patients choose it. It offers more programs than a single GLP-1 service and fewer than a large consumer health company with many brands, and it posts starting prices for several programs, such as weight loss injections from about $99 a month.
Among the consumer telehealth services we review, Nu Image scores 6.8 overall, level with Sesame and just above Henry Meds (6.7), and below AgelessRx (7.3) and Found (7.4). Its highest score is for getting into a program (7.1), and its lowest is for pharmacy and shipping (6.5).

Prerequisites for purchase
| Need | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| What you need to get Nu Image Medical to function | |
| A willingness to fill out an honest health history | Clinicians need a complete health history to prescribe safely. |
| An understanding that compounded drugs are not FDA-approved finished drugs | Many consumer medication programs use compounded drugs. |
| A shipping address and ability to receive packages | Medicines arrive by mail, so someone needs to be able to receive them. |
| Living in a state where it can prescribe by telehealth | Providers must be licensed in your state. |
| A budget for membership plus medication over several months | Raising a dose to the target level takes months. |
| What will maximize your value | |
| Track side effects and message the care team quickly | Unreported side effects can turn into an emergency visit. |
| Compare the full monthly cost after promotions end | Introductory prices can differ from the ongoing monthly price. |
| Confirm which pharmacy fills your prescription | The pharmacy that fills the prescription affects what you receive and when. |
| Keep your primary clinician informed | Your primary clinician needs the full picture to keep your care safe. |
| Review your goals at each dose change | Refills that continue without a check-in can waste money. |
| Deal-breakers | |
| Your main treatment needs to be in-person procedures from a specialist. | |
| You will not check the clinicians and pharmacy partners. | |
| You want only FDA-approved finished drugs and the program cannot meet that. | |
| You are looking for EHR software for a practice. | |
| You cannot receive or pay for regular medication shipments. | |
