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
DrMedHealth
DrMedHealth is a LegitScript-certified US telehealth platform for GLP-1 medical weight loss.
Why it's a deal
- LegitScript certified telehealth platform
- Low compounded pricing: semaglutide from $199/mo, tirzepatide from $299/mo
- Both compounded and FDA-approved branded options available

The fine print
- Compounded GLP-1s are not FDA-approved for safety, efficacy or quality

- Site is JavaScript-rendered, limiting easy review of full terms
