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
Heros Health
Heros Health is a direct-to-consumer telehealth platform offering compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide for weight loss on a flat program price — $149 the first month, then $199/mo (or $165/mo on a 3-month…
Why it's a deal
- Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide on a flat program price, not tiered by dose
- Transparent pricing: $149 first month, then $199/mo (or $165/mo on the 3-month plan)
- 90-day money-back guarantee on GLP-1 treatment
- Dose adjustments at weeks 2, 4, and 8 included at no extra cost
- Named board-certified physicians (Dr. Amber Patel, Dr. Scott Sanderson, Dr. Scott Nass)
The fine print
- Compounded GLP-1s are not FDA-approved finished products
- Specific 503A pharmacy partner is not named publicly
- State coverage is stated inconsistently on the site (claims both 50 and 46 states)
- No insurance billing — cash-pay only
