Full Review

Ro has built one of the most vertically integrated telehealth operations in the industry, running its own pharmacy network (for treatments such as ED and hair loss), diagnostics lab, and care delivery platform; branded GLP-1s are dispensed through the manufacturers' channels, LillyDirect for Zepbound and NovoCare Pharmacy for Wegovy. A key differentiator is Ro's direct partnership with Eli Lilly, giving it access to branded GLP-1 medications like Zepbound at negotiated prices. The company has strategically positioned itself as a premium, clinically serious alternative to Hims, emphasizing physician oversight and lab-based monitoring.

Where Ro medication comes from

Branded GLP-1s come through the manufacturers' channels: Zepbound via LillyDirect (Ro press release, Dec 2024) and Wegovy via NovoCare Pharmacy (Novo press release, Apr 2025). Ro also runs its own pharmacy network for other treatments such as ED and hair loss, which we haven't linked to a named pharmacy.
