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
Novi
Novi Health International is a Delaware-based telehealth provider offering compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide with all-in transparent pricing — medication, unlimited clinician support, and free 2-day…
Why it's a deal
- Transparent all-in monthly pricing — medication, clinician support, and shipping bundled with no hidden fees or membership add-ons
- Both compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide available
- Unlimited clinician messaging included at no extra cost
- Free 2-day shipping on every refill
The fine print
- Compounded only — no FDA-approved Ozempic, Wegovy, Zepbound, or Mounjaro option
- 3-month minimum commitment is non-refundable per Terms of Service unless a clinician deems treatment medically inappropriate
- State availability and pharmacy partners not publicly listed — patients learn during intake which states and pharmacies serve them
