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.

MEDGm

Readers who want the dispensing pharmacies and the prescribing practices named, and who will price the second month rather than the first.

Reasons to consider it

  • Names all four pharmacy partners in its terms, with street addresses, phone numbers and websites, and says which compounding classes they operate under
  • Names seven prescribing professional corporations on its consent page rather than referring to an unnamed medical group
  • Prices three GLP-1 routes — semaglutide injection, semaglutide tablet and tirzepatide — at one, three, six and twelve months, all on the public product pages before any intake

What to weigh up

  • The GLP-1 page's "Starting at $169" is the twelve-month rate paid upfront ($2,028), and the $179 that follows it is a first-month coupon price; month to month, semaglutide injections cost $299, tablets $369 and tirzepatide $399
  • The treatments FAQ says "your price never increases" on a plan whose price increases by $120 at the first renewal
  • The twelve-month bundle is charged upfront, renews for another full upfront year up to ten days early, and none of it is refundable once charged

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

InstaRX

Readers considering an annual compounded plan who will verify the full upfront charge, medication and cancellation terms first.

Reasons to consider it

  • Public product pages show the annual-prepayment basis of the advertised price
  • Says the price stays the same at every dose
  • The $45 consultation fee is included rather than added on top

What to weigh up

  • The $265 monthly average requires twelve months prepaid; shorter-plan prices and the full annual charge need confirmation
  • The semaglutide product page incorrectly describes tirzepatide, so confirm the actual prescribed medication
  • No dispensing pharmacy or individual medical director is named

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