About Mint Med
The price is $159/mo in 36 states, flat across all doses, so patients do not hit the per-tier escalation common as they titrate up; a promo code, 175NOW, cuts the first six weeks to $175. Mint Med is a national compounded-GLP-1 telehealth platform with no membership, selling semaglutide and tirzepatide. Patients can cancel anytime on 48 hours' notice, it is HSA/FSA eligible, and it is LegitScript Certified. Mint Medical Clinic, which is Utah-only, is a different company.

Mint Med
What we like
- Semaglutide at $117 a month, 38% below the $189 median for the same drug and form across this register
- Tirzepatide at $159 a month, 40% 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
Watch-outs
- Coverage is published for 36 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
- 1 FDA warning letter matched to this operator in our enforcement register — read what the letter alleges, since a letter discloses a problem rather than disqualifying a seller
- 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
