Factor Health MD

Shoppers who want one price at every dose and can commit to at least three months, with cheaper rates for 6- and 12-month plans.

Reasons to consider it

  • Every plan includes all doses at one flat rate with no per-mg increase, as its own FAQ states
  • LegitScript certified (badge displayed in the site footer)
  • Monthly-plan prices are low for the category: $99.99 for semaglutide and $189.99 for tirzepatide, with medication, supplies, visits and shipping included

What to weigh up

  • The 'from $79.99' banner is the 12-month plan, and the FAQ contradicts itself: one answer says there are no long-term commitments, another says subscription plans need an initial 3-month commitment and 14 days' notice to cancel
  • No compounding pharmacy is individually named, only a generic 'network of licensed, FDA-regulated pharmacies'
  • No named medical director or individual prescriber

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