About Henry Meds
Henry Meds is an established compounded GLP-1 telehealth seller, offering both injectable and oral formats.
Read our full Henry Meds review →About MDLive
There is no single published cash price at MDLive; what you pay tracks your coverage. The company sits inside Evernorth/Cigna and says it reaches over 50 million people via health insurance and employer benefits, while still permitting out-of-pocket direct visits. The anti-obesity GLP-1s Wegovy and Zepbound are available only on a routine Primary Care visit, at the clinician's discretion, never through urgent care. Four states are carved out: Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi and New Jersey. Dermatology, behavioral health, urgent care and primary care round out the service.

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
MDLive

- Shows its price before the medical questionnaire, so you can compare it without handing over health information
- We found no FDA warning letters issued to MDLive
Watch-outs
