Curex

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.

Reasons to consider it

  • 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

What to weigh up

  • 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

Regulatory note: the FDA issued a warning letter to Curex in September 2025. We still list and link to Curex; you should know the letter is on the public record before you decide.

Lumora

Shoppers who want compounded GLP-1 injections or drops with prices shown up front, and a cheaper per-month rate on 2- or 3-month supplies.

Reasons to consider it

  • Injections with B12 or glycine, plus sublingual drops for both drugs
  • Licensed providers in all 50 states, and LegitScript certified

What to weigh up

  • Drops cost more than injections ($295 semaglutide, $345 tirzepatide)
  • Compounding pharmacy partners are not named
  • Charges are generally non-refundable once an order is processed
