BetterMe Rx
A LegitScript-certified, all-50-state program pairing standard $199/$299 flat pricing with a lower-cost oral option.
Why it's a deal
- LegitScript-certified with all-50-state reach
- Offers an oral/sublingual route at a lower entry
- Flat pricing on both molecules — no step-up
The fine print
- $199/$299 is mid-market, not a bargain
- No brand-name access
Curex
Curex (Curex, Inc.) offers compounded semaglutide ($149/mo) and tirzepatide ($199/mo) in injectable and oral dissolving tablet formats.
Why it's a deal
- LegitScript certified
- Named entity (Curex, Inc.) with two offices — Miami FL and NYC
- No membership fee ever
- Injectable and oral dissolving tablet formats
- Third-party lab testing via FDA/DEA certified labs
The fine print
- Not available in AK, AR, CT, HI, MA, NM, MO
- Compounded only — explicitly states 'We don't prescribe Ozempic, Wegovy, Zepbound, or Mounjaro'
- Primary business is allergy immunotherapy — GLP-1 is a newer vertical
