About Fierce Health
Fierce Health prices its GLP-1 programs at $197-$497/mo. It sells compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide in both standard and microdose programs, a four-program ladder broader than peers selling only one or two SKUs, with the microdose tier among the lower entry points. A longevity catalog sits alongside it. Service is limited to 30 enumerated states, and the platform is LegitScript Certified.

Steady-state monthly pricing never appears on the marketing home page. TeleZen MD runs entirely online, 100% so by its own description, and routes GLP-1 therapy through pharmacies inside the U.S. that are FDA-registered. Coverage is claimed for all 50 states, with the caveat, in the provider's words, 'subject to medical eligibility and state regulations.' Anyone ordering for the first time is offered $100 off with the code WELCOME100.

Fierce Health
What we like
- Semaglutide costs $197 a month, close to 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 shipping
- We found no FDA warning letters issued to Fierce Health
Watch-outs
- Tirzepatide costs $297 a month, 19% above the $250 median for compounded tirzepatide across the sellers we compare
- Serves only 30 states, so check that yours is one of them
- 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

Watch-outs
- Tirzepatide costs $298 a month, 19% above the $250 median for compounded tirzepatide across the sellers we compare

- 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
