Cost-first shoppers who want transparent, care-inclusive compounded tirzepatide microdosing.

Tablet Health
57/100Where the value is
- LegitScript Certified — seal displayed on the site
- Offers both oral-tablet and injectable forms of semaglutide AND tirzepatide, four distinct SKUs
- Published per-product pricing rather than a single vague 'starting at' figure: $179-$299/mo across the four variants
The tradeoffs
- States served are not published anywhere on the accessible site — eligibility is only revealed by completing the intake quiz
- The homepage's 'Flat monthly pricing starting at $149' banner cannot be tied to any of the four listed $179-$299 tiers
Aurelius Health Group
56/100Where the value is
- Pricing fully published and bundled: $89 first month, then $199/mo all-in — more transparent than most compounded brands
- LegitScript Certified
- Care-inclusive model: consults, monthly monitoring, and secure messaging rather than Rx-only
The tradeoffs
- The advertised $89 is a first-month new-patient rate; every month after it is $199
- This is a 1 mg microdose program and nothing else — no labeled therapeutic dose is sold, so it is not an alternative to a full-dose prescription
