8 of the 8 programs below list semaglutide for less than Curex's $299 a month. 7 of the 8 list tirzepatide for less than its $399 a month.

Curex, best known as an online allergy clinic, sells compounded semaglutide at $299 a month and tirzepatide at $399 paid monthly, with a cut-price first month and lower rates if you prepay a full year; California gets oral tablets only.

Best for: People who want a low-cost first month and an oral option nationwide, and who will either pay monthly or prepay a year for the lower rate.

What Curex does well

  • Discounted first month well below the ongoing rate — $49 for semaglutide, $149 for tirzepatide
  • Publishes a plain price table: monthly rates, plus a prepaid-year option at $199 (semaglutide) or $299 (tirzepatide) a month
  • Nationwide enrollment (all 50 states) plus an oral/sublingual route as an alternative to injections
  • 365-day money-back guarantee and a full refund if never prescribed
  • Displays a LegitScript-certified badge on its site

Why readers look for an alternative

  • The 'From $199/mo' headline is the prepaid-year rate ($2,388 up front); paid monthly, semaglutide is $299 and tirzepatide $399
  • California residents cannot get the injectable route at all — oral tablets only, despite the 'all 50 states' enrollment claim
  • Named clinical leadership is disclosed in the context of Curex's original allergy-clinic business, not confirmed as GLP-1-specific prescribers
  • No FDA-approved brand-name access
