About Gatlan
No price appears until intake is complete. Gatlan sells a single drug for weight management, compounded tirzepatide, reaching 44 states through a wholly online process that carries concierge delivery plus monitoring. Most competitors keep their clinicians anonymous; this one names its Chief Medical Advisor, Dr. Robert Lufkin, who is a professor at the UCLA/USC School of Medicine. Its positioning line is 'doctor-level care, minus the friction.'

Gatlan
What we like
- Serves 44 states
- We found no FDA warning letters issued to Gatlan
Watch-outs
- You only see a price after finishing the medical intake, so you cannot compare costs before sharing health information
- Ask which pharmacy fills the prescription before you pay, so you can check its license
Hims
What we like
- Shows its price before the medical questionnaire, so you can compare it without handing over health information
- The monthly price includes the medication
- Serves all 50 states
- Names 4 pharmacies that fill its prescriptions, which most sellers do not
Watch-outs
- Not included in the monthly price: clinician visits, coaching
- The FDA has issued Hims a warning letter. Read what it alleges: a letter flags a problem but does not by itself rule a seller out
- Its semaglutide is compounded rather than FDA-approved, so it has not been reviewed by the agency for safety, effectiveness or manufacturing quality
Our Verdict
Hims wins this one, 6.8 to 4.8, above all for knowing which pharmacy fills the vial: it names Apostrophe Pharmacy LLC. Gatlan fits better if a published list of the 44 states it serves, when most sellers publish none is your priority.
