Bayan Health

Best for: a priced catalog across microdose, standard, oral drop and tablet routes

8.2

Bayan Health publishes a full shop-style catalog rather than a plan card: microdose semaglutide and tirzepatide with B6 at $99 and $119, standard doses at $129 and $149, oral drops at $99 and $119, and Orforglipron Oral Tablets at $269. It states no memberships, no dose-based price increases and no hidden fees, and says its medications come from US 503A pharmacy partners without naming them. Its Terms name no operating entity.

PreventiveMD

Best for: oral orforglipron alongside the injectables

7.4

All-in figures start at $83/mo for compounded semaglutide and $97/mo for compounded tirzepatide. Foundayo, Zepbound and Wegovy come as brands under a membership arrangement. Requests reach a US-licensed provider inside 24 hours, and once approved the drug is sent to your door with care continuing through a portal online. Peptide therapy shares the platform with the GLP-1 side, all physician-guided.

Score breakdown, pros and cons

Foundayo (orforglipron), the new oral GLP-1 from Eli Lilly, joined Ro on April 9 2026 at $149/month for the lowest dose, membership on top. Beside it sit compounded semaglutide and the brand-name pair, Zepbound and Wegovy. No obesity care formulary in the category is more comprehensive. In the US, only a handful of direct-to-patient telehealth companies are larger.

LillyDirect Foundayo

Best for: oral orforglipron alongside the injectables

7.2
Score breakdown, pros and cons

Any licensed prescriber can write it, but LillyDirect will not ship without a valid US prescription. Eli Lilly runs this channel itself, direct-pay, and what it sells is Foundayo (orforglipron): for weight loss, the first oral GLP-1 pill. Commercially insured patients holding the Lilly Savings Card pay $25/month. Paying cash costs $149-$299/month, depending on labeled dose.

Amazon One Medical

Best for: oral orforglipron alongside the injectables

7.1
Score breakdown, pros and cons

Amazon runs its GLP-1 business through a single unified channel here. Prescribing sits with One Medical clinicians and covers three FDA-approved drugs, Foundayo, Zepbound, and Wegovy, with nothing compounded on the list. Fulfillment is Amazon Pharmacy: same-day delivery in roughly 3,000 US cities, or pickup kiosks at select One Medical locations. Membership beforehand is not a prerequisite, and cash pay and insurance are both accepted. Foundayo launched at $25/month for patients with insurance and the Lilly Savings Card, $149/month paying cash.

Buying Foundayo (orforglipron): what to verify

Foundayo is the first oral GLP-1 pill the FDA has approved for weight loss, and only a small dispensing channel exists so far. It is one Lilly product. The entries here separate on access, on price, and on whether a seller is a real channel for it at all.

What to check

  • A verified channel for the real product. Specific pharmacies dispense this drug. A seller either sits inside that channel or it does not, and the distinction is checkable. Compounded orforglipron is not a legitimate product, and no listing offering one belongs in this category.
  • Whether the Lilly savings card gets applied. For commercially insured patients who qualify, the manufacturer savings card cuts the monthly cost substantially. Applying it is something a seller does or omits, and an omission usually goes unmentioned.
  • An intake a clinician actually reads. This is a prescription drug, and the review behind it is meant to be a medical one. Approval issued in seconds, with nobody reachable afterward, describes a storefront rather than a practice.

Red flags

  • Pharmacy unnamed and no LegitScript listing. Two disclosures are checkable on any compounded-GLP-1 seller: the 503A or 503B pharmacy filling the vial, and a LegitScript certification. When a site publishes neither, nothing about the contents of that vial can be confirmed from outside.
  • Instant approval with no clinician you can reach. A prescriber is supposed to read the intake and stay available once dose questions start. Approval issued automatically, with nobody reachable afterward, means the medical layer was removed rather than streamlined.
  • The advertised number is a first month. Headline figures here are usually qualified somewhere. Common forms are an opening rate that steps up with each dose increase, and a membership fee billed separately from the drug itself. Either one can double what leaves your account in month two.
  • B12, MIC, or HCG sold for weight loss. Trial evidence for weight loss sits with the GLP-1 injections and nowhere else on this aisle. A clinic that lists lipotropic, B12, or HCG shots under weight loss is selling past the record, whatever its own site says.

Every seller listed above is scored on these criteria under our six-dimension methodology, with prices re-checked against the seller’s own live site.

How we rank, and what counts as “legit”

Scoring for every provider on this page runs against our published six-factor rubric[1]: value, effectiveness, user experience, trust & safety, accessibility and support.

Each of Wegovy, Zepbound, Ozempic and Mounjaro holds its own separate FDA approval under its own NDA number[4][5]. Published Phase 3 efficacy for semaglutide at 2.4 mg (~14.9% mean weight loss across 68 weeks) comes from STEP 1[6]; those for tirzepatide (~20.9% at the 15 mg dose over 72 weeks) come from SURMOUNT-1[7]. In 2025 the SURMOUNT-5 head-to-head set the two against each other[8].

How much of an anti-obesity medication is covered varies widely between state Medicaid programs and between commercial plans[9][10]. Under IRS Publication 502, compounded GLP-1s and brand-name ones alike are generally FSA/HSA eligible where a prescription exists[11].

Frequently Asked Questions

Roughly 11–12% on average at the highest dose over about 72 weeks, from once-daily oral orforglipron in Eli Lilly's Phase 3 program. Injectable tirzepatide does better (~21%); injectable semaglutide is comparable. The difference is that this one is a daily pill with no needle. FDA approval for chronic weight management came in 2026.
Yes. FDA approval for Foundayo (orforglipron) came through and commercial dispensing started in 2026. Above sits every US telehealth platform and pharmacy confirmed to dispense it, pricing attached. The channel remains small and is expanding. An eligible insured patient can lower the cost using the Lilly Savings Card.
Of the FDA-approved oral GLP-1s for weight loss it is the most effective to date, and it is a genuine once-daily pill, where oral semaglutide (Rybelsus/oral Wegovy) comes with strict food-and-water timing. Overall, injectable tirzepatide still produces more weight loss. So 'strongest' turns on whether a pill or an injection is what you want.
Six weighted dimensions produce the score. Value (25%) and Effectiveness (25%) carry the most, then User Experience (15%) and Trust & Safety (15%), then Accessibility (10%) and Support (10%). Behind them sits our research into pricing data, clinical evidence, user reviews and publicly available information. Those weights then combine into one overall score out of 10.
The six-dimension methodology computes each score on its own, and no commercial relationship ever moves a provider's underlying number. Every provider's full score sits on its card for you to check. Some providers do hold affiliate agreements with us, which means a commission reaches us if you click through and buy. On the lists carrying the highest commercial intent — the weight-loss injection and shot lists, the semaglutide and tirzepatide lists, the compounded and cheapest molecule lists, and the fitness-app list — affiliate partners take the top positions. Every other list runs in score order, or in price order on the cheapest lists. That placement is disclosed here, on our methodology page, and on our affiliate-disclosure page.
