Read our full Citizen Meds review →About StackMD
Rather than a single starting figure, each strength carries its own: five strengths of semaglutide from $125 to $225 a month, six of tirzepatide from $199 to $449. Membership costs nothing. Out of New York, Medical 360 HC PLLC sells other longevity peptides, sermorelin and NAD+ next to compounded tirzepatide and semaglutide, both carrying glycine and B12, and SamaritanMD, named as its partner, handles the prescribing.

Citizen Meds
What we like
- Semaglutide costs $125 a month, 32% below the $185 median for compounded 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 and clinician visits
- We found no FDA warning letters issued to Citizen Meds
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
- 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
