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 OlleveCare
Booking has to begin before a price appears, and OlleveCare says nothing about its operating entity, its medical director or the pharmacy behind it. The storefront is small and started in virtual urgent care, adding a cash-pay weight-management track on compounded semaglutide and compounded tirzepatide; 13 states are listed, DC among them. Urgent care by video and refills of non-controlled drugs remain part of what it does.

Lean Meds
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
- Coverage is published for all 50 states
- Names 5 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
OlleveCare
What we like
- No FDA warning letter matched this operator when we searched our enforcement register
- A live video visit with a clinician is required before a prescription, which is slower than a form and is the more careful intake
Watch-outs
- No price appears until the medical intake is complete, so the cost cannot be compared before health information is submitted
- Coverage is published for 13 states only, so this may not reach you
- No dispensing pharmacy is named in our record, so its accreditation cannot be looked up from here
Our Verdict
Lean Meds takes it, 9.3 against 3.9, and it is especially strong on knowing which pharmacy fills the vial — it names Belmar Pharmacy. OlleveCare is no weak second and may fit you better on a published state list — 13 of 50 — when most of the register publishes none.
Choose Lean Meds if…

Choose OlleveCare if…
