2 of the 8 programs below list semaglutide for less than DudeMeds's $179 a month. 3 of the 8 list tirzepatide for less than its $249 a month.
DudeMeds sells compounded semaglutide at $179 a month and tirzepatide at $249, but only in prepaid multi-month "commit kits" billed $716 and $747 up front.
Best for: Men ready to prepay three or four months of compounded semaglutide or tirzepatide, or who want brand Wegovy or Zepbound through the same account.
What DudeMeds does well
- Plan prices are shown on its order pages before any questionnaire, including the total you'll be billed
- No membership or doctor fee, and shipping is free; follow-up consultations and dose adjustments are included
- Offers compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide plus brand Wegovy, Ozempic, Zepbound and Mounjaro, and a separate path for patients switching from another clinic
- Prescriptions are written by licensed U.S. physicians, nurse practitioners or physician assistants, and the visit is usually a questionnaire rather than a video call
Why readers look for an alternative
- No month-to-month plan is shown: semaglutide is a 4-month kit billed $716 and tirzepatide a 3-month kit billed $747, and the kits renew automatically
- Its consent terms say the first three months of medication are due and non-refundable even if you stop treatment
- The weight-loss page advertises prices "from $149+ a month", but no plan on the order pages is priced that low
- An oral semaglutide page is listed but shows no plan or price
- Brand-name plans are billed three months at a time: $1,585 a month for Wegovy ($4,755) and $1,350 a month for Zepbound ($4,050)
- No state list and no named pharmacy, and the drug pages call semaglutide and tirzepatide "FDA-approved" next to compounded products, which are not FDA-approved
