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
Medro
Medro (Medro Health Technologies, Inc.) is a telehealth brand whose GLP-1 program offers compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide, plus brand-name GLP-1s when eligible, via a partner medical group and…
Why it's a deal
- Covers both compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide and can prescribe brand-name GLP-1s when clinically appropriate.
- LegitScript-certified (seal #50716646), available in all 50 states, with tiered pricing shown before checkout.
- No membership fee and free expedited shipping on all orders; online intake with no appointment required in many cases.
- Prices drop with longer commitments (semaglutide to $149/mo, tirzepatide to $224/mo on a 12-month plan).
The fine print
- Does not name its compounding pharmacy or its clinical partner medical group, so the fulfillment chain is not verifiable.
- Pricing is described as illustrative and may change by dose, pharmacy availability, and eligibility — final cost shows only at checkout.
- Very new brand (2026, trademark pending) spanning many verticals, with a short track record in GLP-1 care.
- Compounded medications are not FDA-approved or therapeutically equivalent to Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, or Zepbound.
