'Starting at $289' for a 1-month plan. Earlier prices of $249/mo and $397/mo thereafter have been removed. The ongoing price is not published; it appears only after the intake questionnaire.

About Brightmeds
Compounded semaglutide opens at $189/mo, with tirzepatide at $289/mo, priced flat whatever the dose, but what renewal costs later is not published until the intake quiz is done. A single membership spans longevity peptides (sermorelin, NAD+, glutathione), TRT aimed at men, and GLP-1 weight loss. Both modalities are stocked, compounded drugs with microdosing protocols included and branded Zepbound in pens and vials, a mix rarely seen. 47 states are served.

DreamHug Medical does not publish pricing on the site; it is gated behind sign-up. The platform sells semaglutide and claims coverage in all 50 states through a large affiliated doctor network. It discloses a public Florida business address, displays a LegitScript logo, and offers a 100% money-back guarantee to applicants who are not approved, which reduces risk for first-time users.
