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
MedLeanRx
MedLeanRx is a physician-guided telehealth weight-loss clinic serving Texas only, based in Spring, TX.
Why it's a deal
- Compounded semaglutide $149/mo in both weekly injection and daily oral tablet form
- Brand pathway for Wegovy, Zepbound, and Foundayo (orforglipron) at a $99/mo fee plus medication cost
- Intro bundle: 2 months of compounded tirzepatide (2 mg weekly) for $325 — about $163/mo
- LegitScript seal displayed; named supervising physician (Dr. Johnson Uzor, MD)
- Free shipping, no hidden fees, and cancel-anytime plans per homepage trust chips
The fine print
- Texas only — not available in the other 49 states
- Compounded tirzepatide is $269/mo at standard pricing, above the ~$249 market median
- Strict no-refund policy: 'All sales are final' per Terms & Conditions
- Pharmacy partner not publicly named — a transparency gap for a compounding service
- Legal entity name and founding details not published on the site
