Good Girl Rx
66/100Where the value is
- LegitScript certified
- Multiple formats — injectable, microdose, and ODT pills — for both semaglutide and tirzepatide
- Dispensed by licensed 503A or 503B pharmacies
The tradeoffs
- The advertised rates require twelve months paid up front; billed month to month the same products are $184 and $244, roughly 2.3 times as much
- Every plan is prepaid — the discount exists only on the 3-, 6- and 12-month terms
Regulatory note: the FDA issued a warning letter to Good Girl LLC dba GoodGirlRX in February 2026. We still list and link to Good Girl Rx; you should know the letter is on the public record before you decide.
NuvaHealth
66/100Where the value is
- LegitScript certified with a working verification badge
- Names four real pharmacy partners (Belmar, Strive, Epiq Scripts, Casa Pharma Rx) rather than one anonymous 'licensed pharmacy'
- All 50 states served per its own FAQ
The tradeoffs
- The headline $89/$139 prices are explicitly first-month-only per NuvaHealth's own FAQ — the real month-two-plus recurring price is not published anywhere and only appears at checkout after intake
- No named prescriber or medical director anywhere on the site
