Edessa

A six-month committer, or someone willing to click past the front page to the table with the real monthly rate.

Reasons to consider it

  • Each product page carries a plain three-rung table, so the commitment behind every figure is visible
  • "Same price, every dose" is printed on each product page
  • Names its operating entity and a full street address in Las Vegas, Nevada

What to weigh up

  • The front page leads with "Start for just $135", a six-month prepay on the semaglutide injection
  • All three front-page cards quote the six-month rung, so the real monthly rates appear only after a click
  • Its Terms give two corporate forms for the same company in one clause — "Edessa Group, LLC, a Nevada corporation"

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

Candor Rx

Shoppers who want flat-rate compounded GLP-1 that doesn't rise with the dose, with no membership fee disclosed.

Reasons to consider it

  • Flat, dose-independent pricing confirmed on both drug sections — no dose-based upcharge
  • Cancel anytime with a full refund if the physician can't prescribe
  • Names a specific compounding pharmacy (Manifest Pharmacy, Greer, SC) rather than an anonymous claim

What to weigh up

  • The $99 and $149 headline rates need a 12-month plan paid at checkout ($1,188 for semaglutide); month to month costs $190 and $239
  • No named medical director or individual prescriber — only 'US-based doctors'
  • LegitScript appears only as a directory badge, not a narrative certification statement

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