Alan Meds
Double-digit semaglutide ($99) and a $145 tirzepatide, both nationwide, with an oral route for the needle-shy.
Why it's a deal
- $99 flat semaglutide and a low $145 tirzepatide
- Available in all 50 states
- Offers an oral/sublingual route
The fine print
- Not LegitScript-certified — do your own pharmacy diligence
- Newer operator with a thin public track record
Cielo

The fine print
- No LegitScript, NABP .pharmacy, or HIPAA badge on the home page

- Clinical care runs through MD Integrations, a shared third-party network used by many brands
- No brand-name Wegovy or Zepbound option
