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
VirtualCare2Go
VirtualCare2Go is a US telehealth provider offering compounded GLP-1 weight-loss medication with same-day visits and national shipping.
Why it's a deal
- Compounded semaglutide from $279/month with same-day telehealth visits
- Oral semaglutide tablet option available
- Ships nationally direct to your door
The fine print
- Compounded GLP-1s are not FDA-approved finished products
- Pricing is on the higher side for compounded semaglutide
- Public state list is not enumerated
- Cash-pay only
