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
MediRX
MediRX is a telehealth weight-loss platform offering compounded GLP-1 injections — semaglutide starting at $149/month and tirzepatide starting at $199/month — plus NAD+ and a name-brand GLP-1 option.
Why it's a deal
- LegitScript Certified — a meaningful trust signal for an online pharmacy
- Named operating entity disclosed (MediRX, Inc., Wyoming)
- Care and pharmacy fulfillment run on OpenLoop Health's licensed network
- Low promotional first-month pricing — semaglutide first month as low as $70
The fine print
- Doesn't publish the exact states it serves; telehealth rules vary by state
- Ongoing monthly price rises after the promotional first month
- Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide injections — limited oral options
- Specific compounding pharmacies aren't named beyond the OpenLoop network
