VirtualCare2Go

Texas residents who want one all-inclusive monthly price with consultation, medication and shipping in it.

Reasons to consider it

  • Three all-inclusive monthly tiers: compounded semaglutide at $279, semaglutide tablets at $599 and an injection tier at $629, each with consultation, medication and shipping
  • The tablet tier offers semaglutide tablets in 3, 7, 14 or 21 mg strengths, and the injection tier includes a prescription pen or vial
  • A stand-alone $99.99 consult-only option exists for shoppers who want to fill the prescription at their own pharmacy

What to weigh up

  • Only serves patients in Texas for now, per its own FAQ
  • The $629 injection tier charges the same for semaglutide, liraglutide or tirzepatide and says the drug you get depends on current supply, so you can't choose tirzepatide or know whether it's a brand-name pen
  • No LegitScript badge shown on the site

Compounded drugs are not FDA-approved. Understand the medication options.

Citizen Meds

Reasons to consider it

  • One-time purchases are available without choosing the recurring option
  • Names Dr. Wasef, Dr. Batool, Dr. Jafri and Dr. Sakla on its homepage
  • Product pages identify Dr. Jafri as medical director

What to weigh up

  • The $125/$145 headlines cover the lowest starting dose; higher-dose kits cost substantially more
  • The optional discounted subscription charges every 23 days, faster than a calendar month
  • No dispensing pharmacy or state eligibility list is published

Compounded drugs are not FDA-approved. Understand the medication options.
