Oxford's Medical Weight Loss (The Calibrate Clinic)
What we like
- Publishes a price on its own site before the medical questionnaire, so it can be compared without handing over health information
- The monthly figure covers consult and shipping
- No FDA warning letter matched this operator when we searched our enforcement register
Watch-outs
- Coverage is published for 2 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
Embody
What we like
- Semaglutide at $79 a month, 58% below the $189 median for the same drug and form across this register
- Tirzepatide at $129 a month, 52% 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 figure covers medication, consult, shipping
- Coverage is published for all 50 states
- Names 4 dispensing pharmacies, which most sellers in this register do not do
- No FDA warning letter matched this operator when we searched our enforcement register
- Both oral and injectable options are on record, so the format is a choice rather than a condition
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
