Care Clinics
Cheap on both molecules — $100 sema, $133 tirz — from a LegitScript-certified pharmacy across 32 states.
Why it's a deal
- Low $100 semaglutide and a class-cheap $133 tirzepatide
- LegitScript-certified pharmacy
- Both molecules priced up front — no teaser step-up
The fine print

Independent Wellness

Why it's a deal
- Both semaglutide and tirzepatide available
- Compounded GLP-1 access
The fine print
- Limited public information on program details
