Harbor

Price-conscious shoppers who want one compounded price that does not rise with the dose.

Reasons to consider it

  • Semaglutide at $99 and tirzepatide at $149 a month on the homepage, with no price increase as the dose goes up
  • Explicit 'No Price Increases / Locked pricing' claim, addressing a common bait-and-switch risk
  • Its LegitScript badge is issued to Harbor's own site, not borrowed from a partner

What to weigh up

  • The semaglutide page shows $89 semaglutide and $119 tirzepatide while the homepage and tirzepatide page say $99 and $149, and no page explains the difference
  • Compounded only, with no brand-name Wegovy or Zepbound option
  • Compounding pharmacies are not named, only '503A and 503B certified pharmacies'

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