Transparent Meds

Cost-first shoppers who want transparent, upfront monthly pricing on compounded GLP-1 injections.

Reasons to consider it

  • Published introductory $99/$199 and regular $229/$349 prices distinguish the ongoing bill
  • No separate consultation or membership fee; supplies and shipping included
  • Clinical care is provided by Locum Tele, an independent clinician network

What to weigh up

  • Confirm the introductory offer duration and dose-specific price before paying
  • The dispensing pharmacy is not named
  • Five states are absent from the published coverage list: Alaska, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Hampshire and New Mexico

Lyfe Rx

Shoppers who want one all-inclusive price with no separate membership, and the option to buy a single month without subscribing.

Reasons to consider it

  • All-inclusive pricing with no membership: the listed price covers the provider review, medication, supplies and free shipping
  • Buy one month at a time, or subscribe for 18% off monthly or 25% off every 3 months, and pause or stop whenever you want
  • Ships to 49 states (all but Alabama)

What to weigh up

  • No dose is shown on either listing, so you can't tell what the price buys at higher doses
  • No compounding pharmacy is named beyond a U.S.-licensed 503A pharmacy
  • Its pricing page says no consultation charge is added, but the refund policy keeps a $50 intake and doctor fee if you cancel before the prescription is filled

Regulatory note: the FDA issued a warning letter to Lyfe Rx in September 2025. We still list and link to Lyfe Rx; you should know the letter is on the public record before you decide.
