The six factors behind each Value Score. The orange bar marks the stronger side. See the methodology.
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
Independent Wellness
Telehealth wellness clinic offering GLP-1 medications on a 4-week billing cycle.
Why it's a deal
- Both semaglutide and tirzepatide available
- Compounded GLP-1 access
The fine print
- Limited public information on program details
