Take Somi Health's 3-month plan and the compounded GLP-1 semaglutide starts at $135/mo, tirzepatide at $165/mo, one price whatever the dose. A US-licensed clinician reads a short intake, then a single transparent monthly figure covers the medical visit, every shipment that follows and messaging the provider directly. The line is compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide by injection, plus an oral semaglutide tablet.

LumiMeds
What we like
- Shows its price before the medical questionnaire, so you can compare it without handing over health information
- The monthly price stays the same as your dose goes up
- The monthly price includes the medication and clinician visits
Watch-outs
- 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
- The FDA has issued LumiMeds a warning letter. Read what it alleges: a letter flags a problem but does not by itself rule a seller out
- 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
