Save ~89% vs brand-nameThe verdict
Care Clinics takes it on Value Score, 89 to 74 — an est. $100/mo first month, with no teaser step-up baked in. Peter MD isn't out of it: Shoppers who want to consolidate GLP-1 with other treatments — testosterone, NAD+, sermorelin, ED or hair loss — on a single account, and who will budget for tirzepatide's $249/mo rate from month two rather than anchoring on the $149 intro.

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
Peter MD
A physician-prescribed telehealth account that puts GLP-1 (tirzepatide and compounded semaglutide+B12) alongside TRT, NAD+, sermorelin, ED and hair-loss treatment under one login — with a genuine month-two step-up on tirzepatide to plan around.
Why it's a deal
- Broad product line under one account — TRT, ED, weight loss, GLP-1, NAD+ and men's hair loss — useful if you want more than a single GLP-1 script
- Physician-prescribed and nationwide in structure, not a single-state clinic
- Semaglutide's returning-patient rate ($139/mo) is genuinely cheaper than its first-time rate, not a bait-and-switch in that direction
- Tirzepatide's $149 first month is a real, disclosed price, not a hidden fee
The fine print
- Tirzepatide's real ongoing rate is $249/mo billed quarterly, not the $149 headline — a step-up to budget for, not a flat price
- State restrictions vary by treatment and the full list isn't disclosed on the customer-facing marketing pages — confirm your state for the specific treatment you want before signing up
- Customer reviews are mixed
