Care Bare Rx
What we like
- Semaglutide costs $705 a month, 29% below the $990 median for brand-name semaglutide across the sellers we compare
- Shows its price before the medical questionnaire, so you can compare it without handing over health information
- The monthly price includes the medication, clinician visits and shipping
- Serves all 50 states
- Names 4 pharmacies that fill its prescriptions, which most sellers do not
- We found no FDA warning letters issued to Care Bare Rx
Watch-outs
- 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

Watch-outs

- Not included in the monthly price: lab work
- Confirm it serves your state before you start the intake

- 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
