Pricing
MEDGm
$179 is the month-to-month rate, struck through from $299 at MEDGm's own checkout. The prepay tiers are not all cheaper: 3 months costs $249/mo and 6 months $219/mo, both more than paying monthly. Only the 12-month tier undercuts it, at $169/mo billed as a single $2,028 charge.
$249/mo for the oral dissolving tablet, sold as a $70 upgrade on the semaglutide injection and struck through from $369. Prepay tiers run $319/mo for 3 months, $289/mo for 6, and $239/mo for 12 billed as a single $2,868 charge.
$279/mo, struck through from $399, and not advertised at any price on the public pages. Prepay tiers run $349/mo for 3 months, $319/mo for 6 billed as $1,914, and $269/mo for 12 billed as $3,228 - the 3 and 6-month tiers again cost more than paying monthly.
