Factor by factor
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
LifeRx.md
LifeRx.md is a LegitScript-certified US telehealth provider offering customized weight loss with GLP-1s.
Why it's a deal
- Flat pricing that does not rise with dose: semaglutide ~$200, tirzepatide ~$275 per 5-week supply
- LegitScript certified; prescriptions filled by state-licensed 503A pharmacies
- Available in all 50 states
- HSA and FSA payments accepted
- Required video telehealth consult ensures clinician oversight
The fine print
- Compounded GLP-1s are not FDA-approved for safety, efficacy or quality
- Extra fees stack up: ~$30 shipping, $49.95 initial consult, $25 follow-ups
- True monthly cost (~$255) is higher than the headline medication price
- Specific list of supported states not enumerated on site
