Kin Meds
What we like
- Semaglutide costs $149 a month, 85% below the $990 median for brand-name semaglutide across the sellers we compare
- Orforglipron costs $149 a month, close to the $149 median for brand-name orforglipron across the sellers we compare
- Shows its price before the medical questionnaire, so you can compare it without handing over health information
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
- The FDA has issued Kin Meds a warning letter. Read what it alleges: a letter flags a problem but does not by itself rule a seller out
- 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
