About ZipHealth

ZipHealth runs both halves of the transaction itself: an online consultation writes the prescription, and its own US-licensed pharmacy in Delray Beach, Florida fills it. The weight-loss line is injectable and includes compounded liraglutide. Prescriptions can be issued the same day, then shipped overnight in unlabeled packaging. Three clinicians are named: board-certified physician Dr. Abhishek Patel (MD), Laurie Lowe Nelson (APRN), and pharmacy head Dr. Phillip Whitman (PharmD). LegitScript certifies it. A lowest-price guarantee is advertised and insurance is never needed.

Pros & Cons

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
