NextMeds
Compounded Semaglutide Membership, drug included when prescribed, alongside telehealth visits, a care coach, a dietitian and shipping. $79 is the month-to-month rate read from the pricing section on 2026-08-14. The site headline reads 'from $49/mo': that is the 12-month prepaid term divided down, not a monthly price, and the ladder between them is 3-month $76, 6-month $73, 12-month $49. A summer promotion was running with a stated end of August 20, so $79 may itself be discounted.
Compounded Tirzepatide Membership, drug included when prescribed, alongside telehealth visits, a care coach, a dietitian and shipping. $109 is the month-to-month rate read from the pricing section on 2026-08-14.

Membership is a single flat monthly charge, and inside it sit free shipping, a registered dietitian holding a license, a care coach working 1:1, telehealth visits and the drug itself where one is prescribed. Insurance is not billed. A free assessment online goes to a licensed provider, who adds a phone or video consult in states that demand one, then prescribes if it fits. Compounding pharmacies within the Next Meds network, all licensed, ship. Auto-renewal does not exist, cancellation is open, and all 50 states can order compounded tirzepatide and semaglutide.

Klinic
What we like
- Publishes a price on its own site before the medical questionnaire, so it can be compared without handing over health information
- The monthly figure covers medication, consult, shipping
- No FDA warning letter matched this operator when we searched our enforcement register
Watch-outs
- Billed separately from the monthly figure: coaching
- No state list is on record here, so whether it serves your state cannot be confirmed from this page
- No dispensing pharmacy is named in our record, so its accreditation cannot be looked up from here
NextMeds
What we like
- Semaglutide at $79 a month, 58% below the $189 median for the same drug and form across this register
- Tirzepatide at $109 a month, 59% below the $267 median for the same drug and form across this register
- Publishes a price on its own site before the medical questionnaire, so it can be compared without handing over health information
- The monthly price is recorded as flat across doses, so it does not climb as the dose is titrated up
- The monthly figure covers medication, consult, shipping, coaching
- Coverage is published for all 50 states
- No FDA warning letter matched this operator when we searched our enforcement register
Watch-outs
- No dispensing pharmacy is named in our record, so its accreditation cannot be looked up from here
- 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
