MyDrHank

Needle-averse shoppers who want a daily semaglutide tablet, have decided a twelve-month commitment is acceptable, and value a price that never moves as the dose climbs more than a low sticker.

Reasons to consider it

  • The price does not change as your dose is titrated up — its FAQ states it plainly ("The price stays the same at every dose — no surprise price increases"), and dose-indexed pricing is the single most common way a cheap first month becomes an expensive fourth one
  • A genuine oral route on semaglutide: a daily tablet, including one compounded with low-dose ondansetron specifically to blunt the nausea that ends most GLP-1 courses early
  • Every plan length is priced in public — monthly, quarterly, 6-month and yearly, with the total for each term printed beside the per-month figure — before any quiz, intake or email capture

What to weigh up

  • EVERY price the site advertises is a twelve-month prepay rate, and not by accident: the price display always shows the cheapest plan, so "From $X/mo" is always the yearly figure. No page shows a month-to-month rate beside it
  • What the twelve months actually cost, up front: oral semaglutide $2,057 to reach the advertised $171/mo, injectable semaglutide $2,140 to reach $178/mo, and tirzepatide $2,883 to reach $240/mo
  • "Plans start at $171/mo with no contract" is the site's own FAQ wording, and its own price list contradicts it — $171 exists only on the Yearly plan. The genuinely no-contract price is $249

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

Hello Alpha

Women who are already Hello Alpha patients, or plan to be, and want brand-name GLP-1 prescribing on the same platform.

Reasons to consider it

  • Only prescribes FDA-approved branded GLP-1s (no compounding risk/variability)
  • Established, well-known women's telehealth brand with a named Chief Medical Officer (Dr. Loni Belyea)
  • Broad medication menu includes newer options like oral orforglipron (Foundayo)

What to weigh up

  • The $79/mo on the weight-loss page is the Plus+ membership fee, not the drug price, and the $29 Basic membership does not cover weight loss
  • Site explicitly states a prescription is not guaranteed by membership
  • No compounded/lower-cost generic-equivalent option for patients without insurance coverage
