Brightmeds
What we like
- Semaglutide costs $189 a month, close to the $185 median for compounded semaglutide across the sellers we compare
- Tirzepatide costs $100 a month, 60% below the $250 median for compounded tirzepatide across the sellers we compare
- The monthly price stays the same as your dose goes up
- The monthly price includes the medication, clinician visits, shipping and lab work
- Serves 47 states
- Names 2 pharmacies that fill its prescriptions, which most sellers do not
- We found no FDA warning letters issued to Brightmeds
Watch-outs
- You only see a price after finishing the medical intake, so you cannot compare costs before sharing health information
- 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
HealthOn
What we like
- Shows its price before the medical questionnaire, so you can compare it without handing over health information
- The monthly price includes the medication and shipping
Watch-outs
- Confirm it serves your state before you start the intake
- Ask which pharmacy fills the prescription before you pay, so you can check its license
- The FDA has issued HealthOn a warning letter. Read what it alleges: a letter flags a problem but does not by itself rule a seller out
- 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
Our Verdict
Brightmeds wins this one, 8.4 to 5.9, above all for knowing which pharmacy fills the vial: it names Beaker Pharmacy. HealthOn fits better if seeing what it charges before you answer any medical questions is your priority.
