Better U Care
What we like
- Shows its price before the medical questionnaire, so you can compare it without handing over health information
- The monthly price stays the same as your dose goes up
- The monthly price includes the medication, clinician visits and shipping
- We found no FDA warning letters issued to Better U Care
Watch-outs
- Semaglutide costs $298 a month, 62% above the $184 median for compounded semaglutide across the sellers we compare
- Tirzepatide costs $397 a month, 59% above the $250 median for compounded tirzepatide across the sellers we compare
- Serves only 21 states, so check that yours is one of them
- Ask which pharmacy fills the prescription before you pay, so you can check its license
- Its semaglutide and tirzepatide are compounded rather than FDA-approved, so they have not been reviewed by the agency for safety, effectiveness or manufacturing quality
