The better fit depends on what is included in your quote. A lower advertised price can require prepayment, apply to a starting dose or leave out a separate fee.

Luci

Patients willing to prepay a 12-month plan for the lowest advertised rate who want to know which pharmacy fills their prescription.

Reasons to consider it

  • Offers semaglutide and tirzepatide as injections or oral versions
  • Names its three compounding pharmacies, with addresses: EPIQ Scripts, Emerald Compounding Pharmacy and Striker Pharmacy
  • Names its medical partners: DrTelx on its homepage and Berluga Health in its terms

What to weigh up

  • The "as low as" $99 and $145 prices are for a 12-month plan paid upfront, and no month-to-month price is published
  • Its FAQ says it serves every state, while its footer says select states, with no list
  • Its terms say fees aren't refundable in whole or in part, which sits awkwardly beside the money-back guarantee

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

Better U Care

Shoppers in its 21 states who want a clinician to prescribe a brand-name GLP-1 to their own pharmacy, or a compounded plan with the visit included.

Reasons to consider it

  • Brand-name prescriptions go to a pharmacy of your choice, so insurance can cover the drug
  • Compounded plans include the medication and the provider consultation in one monthly price
  • Publishes its list of 21 covered states rather than a vague 'most states' claim

What to weigh up

  • Available in 21 states, not nationwide, and a second list on the same page shows only 18
  • The $150 brand-name visit doesn't include the medication, and no drug price is published
  • Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide aren't shown on its weight-loss page; the prices appear only at its checkout

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