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
Measured
Metabolic-health membership pairing GLP-1 treatment with 1:1 nutrition support and board-certified provider care.
Why it's a deal
- Membership includes 1:1 nutrition support and board-certified provider care
- Both compounded (from $79/mo microdose, $119 semaglutide, $229 tirzepatide) and brand-name Wegovy/Zepbound
- Insurance or cash-pay options for brand-name medications
- Oral option available (Wegovy pill); cancel-anytime membership
The fine print
- Membership ($49/mo) is billed separately on top of medication cost
