Cost can go as low as $25/week, which is roughly $100/mo; no membership fee applies. A doctor guides which of the compounded drugs, semaglutide or tirzepatide, a patient takes. The detail that stands out is the pharmacy: Framework names The Pharmacy Hub, which works under the FDA-registered 503B outsourcing pathway instead of the patient-specific 503A route nearly every direct-to-consumer competitor relies on.
