Meto Review: Price, Pros & Cons

Meto is a peptide clinic that starts every patient with bloodwork, and its GLP-1 option is one line in a wider catalog. The GLP-1 protocol covers compounded semaglutide or compounded tirzepatide, and it's listed at $199 a month. That figure is the medication only. Two other charges come with it:

Meto also says members pay a member rate on medication, typically 15% to 25% below its à la carte price. It doesn't say which of those the $199 is, so ask for your exact monthly medication charge, then add the membership on top. HSA and FSA cards work for the panel, the membership and most protocols. There's no insurance billing.

You begin with an intake of about eight minutes covering your goals, whether you're already on a GLP-1, symptom scores and medical history. Meto says it flags anything that would rule out a protocol before you pay.

Next comes the $149 panel, drawn at a partner lab near you or with a finger-prick kit mailed to your home. It checks markers including HbA1c, fasting glucose, a metabolic panel, thyroid, lipids, liver enzymes, IGF-1 and inflammation. Results reach your dashboard in two to three business days. If you have recent labs, you can upload them instead.

A board-certified clinician reviews the labs and intake, usually within 24 hours, and approves or changes the prescription. Meto says you keep the same clinician at every visit. Your membership starts the day you approve the prescription.

The medication is a multi-dose vial, semaglutide at 2.5 mg/mL or tirzepatide at 10 mg/mL, injected once a week with the dose stepped up every four weeks. It's compounded by an FDA-registered 503A pharmacy, which Meto doesn't name, and each batch is tested by a third-party lab. The kit ships cold in three to five days with syringes, alcohol pads and a prepaid sharps return container. If a cold shipment is delayed, Meto re-ships it free.

The membership covers a 15-minute video visit every 90 days, unlimited messaging with a typical reply under 24 hours, weekly symptom logs your clinician reviews, and dose changes without a separate visit fee.

The membership is month to month. You can cancel or pause from your dashboard without calling. Canceling stops future renewals but doesn't refund the current period. A pause can last up to six months and keeps your chart, so you don't redo the intake when you come back.

• Budget for all three charges, not only the $199.
• Ask which pharmacy compounds your medication.
• Meto doesn't publish a list of states, and some protocols and labs are restricted in certain states. Check yours during intake.

Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide are not FDA-approved.
