HydraMed is no longer taking new patients. This program appears to have shut down, so we're not linking to it. Here are the top-rated GLP-1 providers we recommend instead.
See our top-rated GLP-1 providers →HydraMed is a nationwide telehealth platform selling compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide plus a broader peptide menu that includes PT-141, GHK-Cu, and NAD+ in injection, nasal, and topical forms. Monthly pricing is all-inclusive, covering prescription and supplies, with free shipping and a quick medical questionnaire at intake. Compounding is performed at a US FDA-registered pharmacy. It also runs mobile IV services in CO, FL, TN, and WY.

How HydraMed scores
Six columns, each one computed from something HydraMed 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%
5.2/10$179/month is 3% below the $185 median for compounded semaglutide across the sellers we compare.
Effectiveness25%
10.0/10Dispenses semaglutide and tirzepatide, compounded only. Anchored to SURMOUNT-1 (tirzepatide, -20.9%) and STEP 1 (semaglutide, -14.9%).
User Experience15%
5.0/10Where this seller first shows a price is not known, so sign-up is held at the midpoint.
Trust & Safety15%
3.0/10The FDA has issued it a warning letter. No pharmacy is named for its prescriptions. There is no confirmed price before the medical intake. It lists the states it serves.
Accessibility10%
3.8/10Serves 11 of 50 states.
Support10%
8.5/10The price covers the medication, clinician visits, shipping and coaching.
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 →

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 HydraMed'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 $179 a month, close to the $185 median for compounded semaglutide across the sellers we compare
- The monthly price includes the medication, clinician visits, shipping and coaching
Against it
- Tirzepatide costs $319 a month, 28% above the $250 median for compounded tirzepatide across the sellers we compare
- Serves only 11 states, so check that yours is one of them
- Ask which pharmacy fills the prescription before you pay, so you can check its license
- The FDA has issued HydraMed 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
HydraMed is no longer taking new patients. What follows describes the program as it last ran, for anyone comparing it with a seller that is still open.
What HydraMed charges
HydraMed lists $179/month.
- Compounded semaglutide: $179/month
- Compounded semaglutide: $249/month
- Compounded tirzepatide: $319/month
For compounded semaglutide, the median across the sellers we compare is $185/month, so HydraMed's $179 lands mid-market. Price is unlikely to be the deciding factor.
DudeMeds dispenses semaglutide and tirzepatide from $175/month, which makes it the fair comparison to run before you commit here.
What HydraMed dispenses
HydraMed prescribes semaglutide (approved as Wegovy and Ozempic) and tirzepatide (approved as Zepbound and Mounjaro). Between them these are the two molecules with the largest published weight-loss trial programs behind them. The medication is compounded rather than dispensed as an approved pen. Compounding serves real clinical needs and is entirely lawful; what it is not is reviewed, and the cost difference reflects that.
Safety and disclosure
HydraMed tells you the 11 states it serves. It also offers coaching as part of the plan. The FDA has issued HydraMed a warning letter, summarized at the top of this page. A letter flags a problem rather than ruling a seller out, so read what it says before deciding what it means for you. Because the medication is compounded, the most useful question to ask at intake is which licensed pharmacy fills the prescription. If HydraMed will not tell you, treat that as a warning sign. How we weigh oversight, disclosure and price is set out in our scoring methodology.
Our read
HydraMed is no longer taking new patients, so the choice is among the sellers that are still open. Bodybuilding Health+ is the nearest comparison we review, and worth reading alongside this. Whatever you decide, read the warning letter summarized at the top of this page first, and raise it with the clinician who would prescribe for you.
The Bottom Line
HydraMed falls below our bar on oversight: the FDA has issued it a warning letter. Read the breakdown below before you give it money.
Where HydraMed is the wrong choice
No seller suits every reader, and pretending otherwise is the easiest way to sell one. On these three counts, another seller does better.
- If you need the FDA-approved pen rather than a compounded vial, consider Sesame Care.
- If the standing monthly cost is what decides it, consider Collective (from $59/mo).
- If your state is outside the area this one covers, consider Trimi Health.

Regulatory notice
HydraMed has an FDA warning letter on record, dated June 8, 2026
This letter concerns false & misleading claims/misbranded (telehealth). A warning letter is public correspondence from FDA, not an adjudication. On its own it establishes no finding of illegal activity, and a company that gets one often answers with corrective action.
