About Kova
Read the $129 carefully: it applies to the first month and nothing after. What you actually pay is $449 for each 4 weeks on the 1-month plan, or $329 and $299 per 4 weeks if you take the 3- or 6-month one. A Delaware company, LifeTech Apps Inc, is behind it, and an app rides along tracking side effects, protein intake and weight. Delivery, the compounded GLP-1 and clinician review all sit inside the one plan price.

Kova
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
- 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
Trimi Health
What we like
- Semaglutide at $99 a month, 48% below the $189 median for the same drug and form across this register
- Tirzepatide at $125 a month, 53% 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
- Coverage is published for all 50 states
- Names 2 dispensing pharmacies, which most sellers in this register do not do
- No FDA warning letter matched this operator when we searched our enforcement register
Watch-outs
- 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
