bmiMD
Sub-$100 semaglutide and a low $139 tirzepatide, flat and nationwide — a straight-up low-price play.
Why it's a deal
- $99 flat semaglutide and a low $139 tirzepatide
- Available in all 50 states
- Both molecules priced up front
The fine print
- Not LegitScript-certified — do your own pharmacy diligence
- Thin public track record; no oral or brand-name option
Better U Care
Better U Care is a US telehealth weight-loss practice offering compounded and brand-name GLP-1 medications with transparent self-pay pricing and no insurance required.
Why it's a deal
- Transparent self-pay pricing with no insurance required
- Offers both compounded and brand-name semaglutide and tirzepatide
- Uniform compounded pricing across all doses with supplies included
- Publishes its full list of covered states
The fine print
- Available in 21 states rather than nationwide
- Does not name a compounding pharmacy or list an accreditation seal
- Brand medications carry a separate 150 dollar consult fee
