Empower Pharmacy
What we like
- Serves all 50 states
Watch-outs
- Ask which pharmacy fills the prescription before you pay, so you can check its license
- The FDA has issued Empower Pharmacy a warning letter. Read what it alleges: a letter flags a problem but does not by itself rule a seller out
Henry Meds
What we like
- The monthly price includes the medication, clinician visits and shipping
- We found no FDA warning letters issued to Henry Meds
Watch-outs
- Semaglutide costs $249 a month, 35% above the $185 median for compounded semaglutide across the sellers we compare
- You only see a price after finishing the medical intake, so you cannot compare costs before sharing health information
- 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
Our Verdict
Henry Meds wins this one, 5.5 to 4.7, above all for an oral route if you will not self-inject. Empower Pharmacy fits better if coverage in all 50 states, which most sellers will not confirm is your priority.
