About LaSara Medical Group
No steady-state price is published, though discounts run from time to time. LaSara Medical Group operates nationally by telehealth and will see patients in person in southern California. Compounded semaglutide and compounded tirzepatide share a menu with TRT, NAD+, sermorelin, B12 and enclomiphene, making this a multi-modality clinic rather than a GLP-1 specialist. A free consultation opens the process, and a doctor must approve.
Read our full LaSara Medical Group review →About Shape Vantage
One product, priced at $599, is all Shape Vantage sells: tirzepatide, bought through a direct checkout link with no medical intake visible anywhere in the path. Its terms leave provider review as something that may happen rather than something that must. The profile is a hybrid gray-market one and does not fit how compounded telehealth normally works. GLP Watchdog does not recommend Shape Vantage. Establish what the actual prescription pathway is before any money changes hands.

LaSara Medical Group
What we like

- Tirzepatide costs $399 a month, 60% above the $250 median for compounded tirzepatide 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
