Joey Med (legally 'MD Telehealth Platform LLC DBA Joey Med'), based in Tampa, FL, sells THREE distinct injectable GLP-1 tiers under branded names rather than drug names: 'GLP-1 Core' (semaglutide, from $199 for a 4-week supply).
Best for: Shoppers who want to pick a molecule-agnostic 'Core / Plus Core' tier and pay per 4, 8, or 12 weeks rather than a recurring monthly subscription.
What Joey Med does well
- The site's own embedded pricing data is fully itemized by tier (4/8/12 weeks) for all three products
- Molecule names are disclosed on the category page even though individual product pages use branded tier names
- Legal entity is disclosed via the site's own structured data: MD Telehealth Platform LLC DBA Joey Med
- Ships to all 50 states, according to the site
Why readers look for an alternative
- The current roster's prices were stale: $279 was the crossed-out list price for semaglutide (actual: $199), and $399 belonged to the High Dose tirzepatide tier, not the standard $275 entry tier
- Drug names are buried under branded tier names on the product pages themselves
- No LegitScript verification link exists anywhere on the site
- No compounding pharmacy or medical director is named anywhere on the site
