Embody
What we like
- Semaglutide at $79 a month, 58% below the $189 median for the same drug and form across this register
- Tirzepatide at $129 a month, 52% below the $267 median for the same drug and form across this register
- Publishes a price on its own site before the medical questionnaire, so it can be compared without handing over health information
- The monthly figure covers medication, consult, shipping
- Coverage is published for all 50 states
- Names 4 dispensing pharmacies, which most sellers in this register do not do
- No FDA warning letter matched this operator when we searched our enforcement register
- Both oral and injectable options are on record, so the format is a choice rather than a condition
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
Klinic
What we like
- Publishes a price on its own site before the medical questionnaire, so it can be compared without handing over health information
- The monthly figure covers medication, consult, shipping
- No FDA warning letter matched this operator when we searched our enforcement register
Watch-outs
- Billed separately from the monthly figure: coaching
- No state list is on record here, so whether it serves your state cannot be confirmed from this page
- No dispensing pharmacy is named in our record, so its accreditation cannot be looked up from here
Our Verdict
Embody takes it, 9.3 against 6.6, and it is especially strong on knowing which pharmacy fills the vial — it names RedRock Pharmacy. Klinic is no weak second and may fit you better on seeing what it charges before you answer any medical questions.
