About HeliMeds
LegitScript has certified HeliMeds (#368688). Its GLP-1 menu runs compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide next to brand-name Zepbound and Wegovy. Energy and sexual health treatments are sold as well.
Read our full HeliMeds review →About Measured
A membership of $49/mo is charged on its own, separate from the drug. On top of it sit compounded GLP-1, semaglutide and tirzepatide, opening at $79/mo for the microdose, plus Wegovy and Zepbound under their brand names. The proposition is metabolic health rather than a prescription alone, with 1:1 nutrition support and care from board-certified providers attached.

Watch-outs
- 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
