Strut Health

Anyone optimizing total monthly outlay who will keep an auto-refill running, and anyone whose real objection is the needle.

Reasons to consider it

  • Low auto-refill prices: semaglutide is $99 as a lozenge or $129 as an injection, and tirzepatide is $149 as an injection
  • Lozenges for both molecules give you a needle-free choice beside the weekly injection
  • Free physician visit, free shipping and unlimited free follow-ups are included rather than billed separately

What to weigh up

  • Every headline price is the auto-refill rate, which Strut says is 13% to 21% below a one-off order
  • Once medication leaves the pharmacy it can't be returned or refunded
  • Asynchronous by design: their FAQ notes some states need no phone consultation, so you may never speak to the prescriber

Regulatory note: the FDA issued a warning letter to Strut Health, LLC dba Strut in February 2026. We still list and link to Strut Health; you should know the letter is on the public record before you decide.

NextMeds

Shoppers who will call out and verify the exact price at checkout, given the site shows several different promo numbers at once.

Reasons to consider it

  • Publishes a dated drug-category enrollment offer
  • Names OpenLoop Healthcare Partners and four dispensing partners
  • Telehealth consultations, prescribed medication and shipping included

What to weigh up

  • The enrollment offer ends October 31 at midnight; confirm the timezone and ongoing charge
  • Brand-name products have no public price
  • Refunds are restricted to medical disqualification
