LegitScript has certified HeliMeds (#368688). Its GLP-1 menu runs compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide next to brand-name Zepbound and Wegovy. Energy and sexual health treatments are sold as well.
Is HeliMeds legit?
Yes. HeliMeds is a real, operating US company, and we found no FDA warning letters issued to it. Its site shows LegitScript certification. We rate it 8.3/10 overall, across six areas from price to trust and safety. Legitimate is not the same as right for you, though: that part is a decision for you and a licensed clinician.
Is there a HeliMeds promo or coupon code?
HeliMeds has no code to type in. The current offer: EasyStart intro pricing: $99/month for the first 3-month plan (save $420 vs standard $199/mo); no typeable coupon code (the 'wl-pl' string is a URL slug, not a displayed code). It applies at checkout on its own. Coupon sites advertising a "HeliMeds promo code" are not a source we can vouch for.

How HeliMeds scores
Six columns, each one computed from something HeliMeds has published rather than from an opinion we formed: what it charges, which molecules it will dispense, what its record shows, and what the monthly figure actually buys. Where a seller keeps something back, such as its price or its pharmacy, the score reflects it. Every seller we review goes through the same six columns.
Value25%
9.5/10$99/month is 46% below the $185 median for compounded semaglutide across the sellers we compare. That figure is a multi-month plan paid up front, not a month-to-month rate, so the comparison flatters it.
Effectiveness25%
10.0/10Dispenses semaglutide and tirzepatide, including the FDA-approved product. Anchored to SURMOUNT-1 (tirzepatide, -20.9%) and STEP 1 (semaglutide, -14.9%).
User Experience15%
8.0/10A price is shown before the questionnaire starts.
Trust & Safety15%
6.5/10No pharmacy is named for its prescriptions. It shows a price before asking for health information.
Accessibility10%
5.0/10No state list is available to check, so this is held at the midpoint rather than scored on reach.
Support10%
7.0/10The price covers the medication, clinician visits and shipping.
A seller that shows no price until after the medical intake loses points on User Experience and Trust & Safety, and its review says so. How we score →
What we checked on HeliMeds
Last checked August 2026- Checked the listed price across 4 dose or plan tiers
- Checked what the monthly price covers, and what it leaves out
- Checked FDA warning letters for HeliMeds
Price, availability, and compliance here are read off the seller's own pages and off primary regulatory records, named in the sources below.
What signing up with HeliMeds involves
What to expect on the way to a prescription: where the price appears, who fills the medication, and what the monthly price covers. It is not medical advice, and a clinician makes the prescribing decision.
- 1HeliMeds shows a price on its own site before asking anything about you, so you can compare it with other sellers before you start a questionnaire.
- 2Ask HeliMeds which pharmacy fills the prescription before you pay. The pharmacy's name is what lets you check its license.
- 3The monthly price includes the medication, clinician visits and shipping.
- Lowest ongoing monthly price: semaglutide $99, tirzepatide $149. That leaves out membership fees, first-month rates and insurance copays.
- Confirm that HeliMeds serves your state before you start.
- The medication is compounded, so it is not an FDA-approved product and has not been reviewed by the agency for safety, effectiveness or manufacturing quality.
GLP-1 medications HeliMeds offers
Each one has its own guide: how the molecule works, the dosing schedule, the side effects that show up in practice, and what the trials actually measured.

Check the price yourself before you pay
Every figure here was read off HeliMeds's own checkout on the date shown. Sellers move prices without announcing it, and promotional rates lapse, so confirm the standing cost on their site before committing.
In its favor
- Semaglutide costs $99 a month, 46% below the $185 median for compounded semaglutide across the sellers we compare
- Tirzepatide costs $149 a month, 40% below the $250 median for compounded tirzepatide across the sellers we compare
- Shows its price before the medical questionnaire, so you can compare it without handing over health information
- The monthly price includes the medication, clinician visits and shipping
- We found no FDA warning letters issued to HeliMeds
Against it
- 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
- 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
What HeliMeds charges
HeliMeds lists $99/month. That sits at the affordable end of what we see.
- Compounded semaglutide: $99/month
- Compounded tirzepatide: $149/month
- Brand-name semaglutide: $1,599/month
- Brand-name tirzepatide: $1,396/month
For compounded semaglutide, the median across the sellers we compare is $185/month, so HeliMeds' $99 is genuinely below the middle, not just advertised that way.
bmiMD, at about $99/month, is the closest like-for-like alternative we review.
What HeliMeds dispenses
HeliMeds prescribes semaglutide (approved as Wegovy and Ozempic) and tirzepatide (approved as Zepbound and Mounjaro). Between them these are the two best-evidenced weight-loss molecules currently on the market. The choice is between an FDA-approved pen and a compounded preparation that costs less. Compounding is lawful and often appropriate, but a compounded product is not an approved one, and the price gap is largely that difference.
Safety and disclosure
HeliMeds tells you its price before you start the medical questionnaire. We found no FDA warning letters issued to HeliMeds. Because the medication is compounded, the most useful question to ask at intake is which licensed pharmacy fills the prescription. If HeliMeds will not tell you, treat that as a warning sign. How we weigh oversight, disclosure and price is set out in our scoring methodology.
Who should look elsewhere
- You need insurance to cover the cost. Check whether HeliMeds bills your plan before you start.
It fits if
- the lowest standing monthly cost is what you are solving for
Our read
HeliMeds competes on price without an obvious sacrifice elsewhere: $99/month, no FDA warning letters.
The Bottom Line
HeliMeds' strongest column is the clinical side: which molecules it will prescribe, and how it handles dosing.
Before you pay HeliMeds
Starting at $99 a month. Check today's price, then start the intake.
Where HeliMeds is the wrong choice
No seller suits every reader, and pretending otherwise is the easiest way to sell one. On these two counts, another seller does better.
- If the standing monthly cost is what decides it, consider Sesame Care (from $59/mo).
- If you want a human checking in, not just a prescription, consider ShedRx.
