Visit Tablet HealthWellMedr
Shoppers who will complete a medical intake before they see a price, in exchange for a brand Ozempic or Zepbound lane and an eight-SKU microdose line on the same account as the compounded plan.
Visit WellMedrThe verdict

Tablet Health is a LegitScript-certified DTC telehealth platform selling compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide in both oral-tablet and injectable form, priced from $179/mo (oral semaglutide) to $299/mo (injectable tirzepatide).

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
WellMedr
54/100Where the value is
- The compounding caveat sits ON the pricing page beside the plan cards rather than in a footer: "Compounded medications are regulated by state Boards of Pharmacy, but are not evaluated by the FDA for safety or efficacy," printed with explicit thyroid C-cell tumor and medullary thyroid carcinoma warnings
- Both halves of the supply chain are named and checkable — OpenLoop Healthcare Partners, PC and its state professional corporations as the prescribing group in the telehealth consent, and Mycelium Pharmacy as the fulfillment pharmacy in the HIPAA notice
- The tirzepatide card states "Same price regardless of dosage," so titrating up does not re-price that plan — the single most common way a cheap first month becomes an expensive fourth one
The tradeoffs
- No standing month-to-month rate is published for either compounded drug. The cards say "Starting At $59 a month" and "Starting At $99 a month," the banner on the same page ties the $59 to "12/month Plans — For Life," and both buttons hand off to an intake app that will not quote anything without a plan already chosen
- Two live landers advertise two different lifetime rates for the same program — /pages/get-started-weight-loss offers "$200 OFF Every Month, or $59/mo on 12/month Plans" while /pages/weightloss-with-wellmedr offers "$150 OFF Every Month, or $88/mo on 12/month Plans," and that second page then shows only the $1,399 and $1,599 brand cards
