About Lean Meds
Titrating up does not raise the rate, which is flat and monthly: $79 to start on compounded semaglutide, $109 on compounded tirzepatide, the telehealth visit and shipping absorbed into both. Clinicians come from the OpenLoop Health network. Trinity HealthCare Supply, LLC operates the service and puts names to its five dispensing pharmacies as well as to the physicians who prescribe.
Read our full Lean Meds review →About Measured
A membership of $49/mo is charged on its own, separate from the drug. On top of it sit compounded GLP-1, semaglutide and tirzepatide, opening at $79/mo for the microdose, plus Wegovy and Zepbound under their brand names. The proposition is metabolic health rather than a prescription alone, with 1:1 nutrition support and care from board-certified providers attached.

Measured
What we like
- Semaglutide costs $79 a month, 58% below the $188 median for compounded semaglutide across the sellers we compare

Watch-outs
