ContactGala GLP-1 Review
Gala posts a simple headline: doctor-trusted GLP-1 for weight loss for $199 per month with no hidden fees. A footnote adds that pricing is set by the dispensing pharmacy, which is an important nuance when you budget.
Gala itself is a telehealth platform. Prescribing, dispensing, and delivery are handled by an independent third-party partner, and there is a companion app to track injections, weight, and side effects.
About Gala
Straightforward headline pricing and a clear split between platform, providers, and pharmacy.
Why it's for you
- Visible $199/mo headline with no hidden fees messaging, useful for quick comparisons.
- Gala states it is not the prescriber or pharmacy; the third-party partner handles prescribing, dispensing, and delivery so roles are clear.
- Terms flag that compounded medications are not FDA-approved if they are used, which is good to have in writing.
- Privacy Policy and Telehealth Consent address HIPAA, data sharing with partner pharmacies, and security practices.
- Companion app for shot, weight, and side-effect tracking with availability on iOS and Android.
Why it's not for you
- Final medication pricing is set by the pharmacy; the $199/mo headline may vary in practice.
- Public pages do not publish a shipping service-level agreement; fulfillment timing depends on the partner pharmacy.
- Binding arbitration with a class-action waiver and Delaware governing law may not suit everyone.
- Brand-name versus compounded formulation is not spelled out on the homepage; you must confirm during intake.
Pricing and plans
Gala leads with a $199 per month headline for GLP-1 or GLP-1/GIP weight-loss therapy and the promise of no hidden fees. Read the asterisk: price set by pharmacy. In plain terms, Gala is signaling a typical cash price while reminding you that the dispensing pharmacy controls the final number, so build that into your budget.
How it works and timing
Gala facilitates your telehealth intake and connects you with licensed providers. If a prescription is appropriate, it is dispensed by a partner pharmacy and shipped to you. Gala is not the prescriber and not the pharmacy. The site does not publish a specific shipping timeline, so ask for pharmacy timing during the visit and set reminders ahead of refills.
Compounded medications explained
Gala's Terms of Service include a clause for compounded medications: if your provider prescribes a compounded GLP-1, it is not FDA-approved and would be sourced from a licensed compounding pharmacy. That aligns with FDA guidance that compounded drugs are not FDA-approved even though they can be appropriate in certain circumstances.
Bottom line: confirm during intake whether your prescription will be a brand-name product or a compounded formulation, ask which licensed pharmacy will dispense it, and request the written medication guide for your records.
Privacy, pharmacy, and terms
The Privacy Policy and Telehealth Consent cover HIPAA, data security, and sharing your information with partner pharmacies and providers to coordinate care. This is standard for telehealth but still worth reading before you enroll.
Dispute language follows a familiar pattern: informal resolution, mediation, then binding arbitration with a class-action waiver and Delaware governing law. Make sure you are comfortable with that framework.
FAQ: quick answers people search for
How much does Gala cost? The homepage shows $199 per month with no hidden fees. The asterisk adds that pricing is set by the pharmacy, so ask for the exact quote and what supplies are included when your prescription is sent to the pharmacy.
Is this compounded or brand? The public homepage does not specify, but the Terms of Service include a compounded-meds clause noting they are not FDA-approved. Confirm formulation and dispensing pharmacy during intake.
Do they ship to my state? The Terms define a third-party partner that prescribes, dispenses, and delivers medications to users across all 50 states, though availability can vary by location. Verify details during intake.
Is a prescription guaranteed? No. A licensed provider decides based on your clinical history. The Terms of Service state that Gala does not guarantee a prescription.
Is there an app? Yes. The Gala GLP-1 Tracker app logs shots, weight, and side effects. The iOS listing currently shows a rating of about 4.5 out of 5 from roughly 390 reviews.
What about privacy? The Privacy Policy discusses HIPAA, data retention, international transfers, and how partner pharmacies receive information to fill prescriptions. Read it in full before you enroll.
Bottom line

Senior Editor
As a platform play, Gala keeps the pitch clean: a public $199 per month entry point, clear disclosure that pricing is ultimately set by the pharmacy, and explicit language about roles and compounded-drug caveats in the Terms.
During intake confirm the exact medication, dispensing pharmacy, total monthly cost including supplies, and the shipping cadence. If the answers line up with your budget and timing, Gala's setup is easy to live with.
