The comparison in brief

Open Water Rx has the higher Cost-Efficiency Index: 78/100 versus 77/100. That is a value comparison under our published methodology, not a measure of medical suitability or a guarantee of results.

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.

Teleios Health

Shoppers who want one low all-in monthly price for either compounded GLP-1, and will confirm how it changes at higher doses.

Reasons to consider it

  • $99 a month for compounded semaglutide or tirzepatide, with the medication, provider consultations and shipping included
  • Names its prescribing group, Lion MD, led by Dr. Ana Lisa Carr and Dr. Kelly Tenbrink, and lists five partner compounding pharmacies
  • Serves all 50 states and publishes the list

What to weigh up

  • Doesn't say whether the $99 price holds as your dose climbs, or how long it's guaranteed
  • Once a prescription is written, a refund is possible only if you email within 24 hours, minus a $50 professional fee
  • No LegitScript certification or lab-testing results shown
