Apex MD

Patients who want unlimited visits and labs bundled into a flat month-to-month price and don't mind the medication being combined with NAD/B-12/L-carnitine.

Reasons to consider it

  • Genuinely all-in flat pricing: 'no other fees' across all doses, with unlimited provider visits and Labcorp labs included
  • No membership fee, no sign-up fee and no lab fee, stated plainly on the pricing page
  • Both semaglutide and tirzepatide, in injectable or daily-oral form

What to weigh up

  • Not single-ingredient GLP-1 — every tier bundles NAD, B-12, and L-carnitine into the compound, so the $299/$399 price isn't directly comparable to a plain-semaglutide/tirzepatide competitor
  • Compounding pharmacies are never named, only described generically as 'Legit Script Certified pharmacies'
  • Among the highest per-drug prices of the compounded programs we track, though its formulas are bundled with NAD, B-12 and L-carnitine

Compounded drugs are not FDA-approved. Understand the medication options.

Kina

Women in perimenopause or menopause who want GLP-1 weight care bundled with HRT and menopause care under one named clinical lead.

Reasons to consider it

  • Names an actual clinical lead (Dr. Shannon Arora, PharmD) tied to a real affiliated practice with an address
  • LegitScript badge with a working verification link
  • Consultation/physician-review fee is bundled into the price rather than charged separately

What to weigh up

  • The $169 'starting at' price is the first month only; ongoing prices run $199 to $279 a month depending on the form
  • Not a dedicated GLP-1 company -- weight/GLP-1 is one of six categories on a menopause-focused platform
  • No named compounding pharmacy partner

Compounded drugs are not FDA-approved. Understand the medication options.
