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.

Nothing is charged until a prescription actually exists. After that, $187/mo buys the compounded GLP-1 semaglutide and $235/mo compounded tirzepatide, one figure absorbing the physician review, the supplies and the delivery. Licensed 503A/503B pharmacies make the drug and batches go out for third-party testing. Whoosh Wellness also stocks sermorelin, NAD+ and glutathione on a recovery and longevity theme, with a physician guiding throughout.

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
Whoosh Wellness
What we like
- Semaglutide at $187 a month, within the normal band around this register's $189 median for the same drug and form
- The monthly figure covers medication, consult, shipping
- No FDA warning letter matched this operator when we searched our enforcement register
Watch-outs
- No price appears until the medical intake is complete, so the cost cannot be compared before health information is submitted
- 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
- 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
