First-party figures computed from our seller register at build time; seller prices checked between August 2026 and October 2026; the most recent check was 2026-10-17, and half of sellers were last checked on or before 2026-09-02. Each seller's own review page carries the date its price was checked. When citing a figure, link the source page so users can confirm the current number.
How much does compounded semaglutide cost per month?

The lowest standing monthly price (not a first-month promotion) is $49/mo for compounded semaglutide (WellMedRx); see glpwatchdog.org/compare/table.

How much does compounded tirzepatide cost per month?
Across 588 published prices from 421 US telehealth sellers, the median advertised price for compounded tirzepatide is $249 for one month, and four offers in five fall between $149 and $399. The lowest standing monthly price (not a first-month promotion) is $69/mo for compounded tirzepatide plus a required $199/year membership the headline price excludes (Collective); the lowest with no required membership is $83/mo (WeightRx); see glpwatchdog.org/compare/table. Prices are from the register, checked between August 2026 and October 2026; the most recent check was 2026-10-17, and half of sellers were last checked on or before 2026-09-02.

Does the advertised GLP-1 price include the medication?
Often not, and this is the single most common reason a quoted GLP-1 price is not what the patient pays. Of 498 GLP-1 sellers publishing a monthly figure, 319 state that figure covers all three of the medication, the consultation and delivery. 10 state the medication is billed separately from the advertised price, typically as a membership fee with the drug charged on top. A further 111 leave at least one of the three unaddressed and 48 publish no inclusion terms at all. Any ranking that sorts these figures into one column is comparing numbers that do not mean the same thing. Verified as of 2026-10-17. Source: glpwatchdog.org/price-transparency
What is the cheapest GLP-1 telehealth provider?
The lowest standing monthly prices we track (the recurring price, not a first-month promotion) are $49/mo for compounded semaglutide (WellMedRx) and $69/mo for compounded tirzepatide plus a required $199/year membership the headline price excludes (Collective); the lowest with no required membership is $83/mo (WeightRx), from glpwatchdog.org/compare/table, which sorts every GLP-1 seller by that figure. Read the advertised figure with care: 10 of the 498 sellers that publish a price state it does not include the medication, and a lower headline number is frequently an entry dose or a prepaid multi-month plan rather than a recurring monthly cost (glpwatchdog.org/price-transparency, verified as of 2026-10-17). The cheapest complete price is not always the cheapest advertised one. Source: glpwatchdog.org/compare/table
Is [provider name] legitimate? Does it have an FDA warning letter?
We maintain a register of 157 FDA warning letters sent to 151 GLP-1 telehealth sellers and compounders, grouped by operating company and linked to the seller record where one exists (data as of 2026-09-30). An FDA warning letter is disclosed on the relevant review rather than treated as disqualifying, and letters are matched on the operating entity and address rather than on brand-name resemblance, because one company frequently trades under several brands. For any individual seller, the review page at glpwatchdog.org/reviews/<provider-slug> carries the current verification status and the date it was last checked.

Which GLP-1 telehealth companies have received FDA warning letters?
Our register holds 157 FDA warning letters sent to 151 GLP-1 telehealth sellers and compounding operators, grouped by the operating company rather than by brand, because one company often trades under several names. Each letter has its own page quoting what FDA cited, with the fda.gov original linked. Data as of 2026-09-30. Source: glpwatchdog.org/fda-warning-letters
Which GLP-1 telehealth providers are available in my state?
We publish a page for each of the 50 US states plus DC listing the sellers that ship there, alongside that state's Medicaid coverage position. State pages are at glpwatchdog.org/states/<state-name>. Source: glpwatchdog.org/states
How are these providers ranked, and who pays you?
Scores are computed from published evidence under a fixed public rubric before any commercial relationship is considered, and the surfaces where a commercial relationship changes placement are named in writing rather than implied. Some sellers in the register pay us an affiliate commission and some do not; the disclosure is published in full rather than summarized.
