Who Andrew Meds may suit
Shoppers comparing published monthly rates who are willing to check that the price on the page is the price the checkout charges.
Where the value is
- Full month-to-month and prepay ladders for both molecules are printed on the product pages, before any intake
- States which pharmacy class fills a prescription — "a 503(A) compounding pharmacy or 503(B) outsourcing facility" — which most sellers at this price leave unsaid
- Names the prescribing practice, with a street address and a direct phone line, in the footer of every page
- Splits its coverage honestly: 44 states can be treated from a questionnaire, and seven jurisdictions are named as requiring a live consultation first
The tradeoffs
- The semaglutide page prices a $199 full-dose plan, but its Get Started button opens a 'Microdosing Program' intake instead
- One funnel's ladder does not add up — three months is priced $4 cheaper in total than one month
- No pharmacy is named, and the terms reserve the right to transfer a prescription between unnamed pharmacies "without notice"
- The intake promises a money-back weight-loss guarantee that appears nowhere on the marketing site, whose terms say partially used periods are not refunded
- The District of Columbia is claimed as served and named among the live-visit jurisdictions, but cannot be selected in the intake's state list
- Efficacy figures shown inside the funnel — an 18% average weight reduction, a 94% chance of success — carry no citation and appear nowhere on its site
What Andrew Meds charges
Andrew Meds prints a full price ladder for both of its compounded injections. Month to month, semaglutide is $199 and tirzepatide is $299. Paying for more months up front lowers the monthly rate.
| Plan | Semaglutide | Tirzepatide |
|---|---|---|
| Month to month | $199/mo | $299/mo |
| 3 months | $549 total (about $183/mo) | $797 total (about $266/mo) |
| 6 months | $999 total (about $167/mo) | $1,494 total ($249/mo) |
| 12 months | $1,788 total ($149/mo) | $2,748 total ($229/mo) |
The price covers the medication and supplies, and shipping is free. You pay for medication only if a provider prescribes it. Andrew Meds is cash pay and doesn't bill insurance. One thing to watch: the semaglutide sign-up button opens on a lower-dose "microdosing" program, so make sure the plan in your cart is the one you meant to buy.
Considering Andrew Meds?
Check the plan total, billing period and cancellation terms before you enroll. A clinician decides whether treatment is appropriate.
Who treats you, and where
The intake takes about five minutes and asks about your health history, current medications, allergies and goals. A licensed provider in your state reviews it, and you may have a short consultation by video or online. Clinical care comes from Dr Tel X, an independent medical practice that lists its own address and phone line on every page.
Andrew Meds says it serves all 50 states and the District of Columbia. In 44 states care can be handled through the online questionnaire alone. Seven jurisdictions require a live consultation first: the District of Columbia, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico, Rhode Island and West Virginia.
Prescriptions are filled by a 503A compounding pharmacy or a 503B outsourcing facility. The pharmacy isn't named, and the terms allow a prescription to be moved between its pharmacies without notice. Once approved, an order usually ships within a few business days in plain packaging.
Renewals, canceling and refunds
Plans are subscriptions that renew automatically. You're billed at the start of each cycle, and the first renewal may be charged early so treatment doesn't lapse. To stop the next one, cancel in your account or through support at least two days before the renewal processing date. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the period you've paid for.
The terms say partially used periods aren't refunded, though Andrew Meds may make exceptions case by case. That matters most on a six- or twelve-month plan, since the whole amount is paid up front. Pausing is sometimes offered; if you don't cancel before a pause ends, billing restarts on its own.
Before you sign up
- Check that your cart shows the drug, plan length and total you expect.
- Ask which pharmacy will fill your prescription.
- Put your renewal date on your calendar, and cancel at least two days ahead.
- Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide are not FDA-approved finished products.
