About Defy Medical
Neither a price nor a list of covered states appears online. Hormone replacement made Defy Medical's name over many years, but the clinic writes GLP-1s too: semaglutide and tirzepatide as weekly shots, as orally disintegrating tablets and as liquid drops, with liraglutide taken daily by injection. Those drops and ODTs exist for patients who will not self-inject, or who live where shipping an injectable is restricted. Consults go deep, blood testing is comprehensive, and phlebotomy can come to you. Dr. Justin Saya is medical director.

Henry Meds
What we like

- 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
