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
- Covers 32 states, not the full 50
- Compounded only — no brand-name or oral route
LifeRx.md
LifeRx.md is a LegitScript-certified US telehealth provider offering customized weight loss with GLP-1s.
Why it's a deal
- Flat pricing that does not rise with dose: semaglutide ~$200, tirzepatide ~$275 per 5-week supply
- LegitScript certified; prescriptions filled by state-licensed 503A pharmacies
- Available in all 50 states
- HSA and FSA payments accepted
- Required video telehealth consult ensures clinician oversight
The fine print
- Compounded GLP-1s are not FDA-approved for safety, efficacy or quality
- Extra fees stack up: ~$30 shipping, $49.95 initial consult, $25 follow-ups
- True monthly cost (~$255) is higher than the headline medication price
- Specific list of supported states not enumerated on site
