All-in figures start at $83/mo for compounded semaglutide and $97/mo for compounded tirzepatide. Foundayo, Zepbound and Wegovy come as brands under a membership arrangement. Requests reach a US-licensed provider inside 24 hours, and once approved the drug is sent to your door with care continuing through a portal online. Peptide therapy shares the platform with the GLP-1 side, all physician-guided.

How PreventiveMD scores
Six columns, each one computed from something PreventiveMD 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 it publishes nothing, that absence is what gets scored. Every seller in the register goes through the same six columns.
Value25%
5.0/10$149/month is exactly the register median for brand orforglipron.
Effectiveness25%
10.0/10Dispenses orforglipron and semaglutide and tirzepatide, including the FDA-approved product. Anchored to SURMOUNT-1 (tirzepatide, -20.9%) and STEP 1 (semaglutide, -14.9%).
User Experience15%
8.0/10On the seller's own pages, a price is published before the questionnaire starts.
Trust & Safety15%
7.5/10does not name a dispensing pharmacy; shows a price before asking for health information; publishes its state list. Our verification confidence is medium.
Accessibility10%
7.8/10Publishes coverage in 36 of 50 states.
Support10%
5.5/10The price covers medication, consult.
A seller that will not show a price before an intake loses points on Value and carries that note in its review. Withholding the number is itself a finding. How we score →

What signing up with PreventiveMD involves
Assembled from this seller’s entry in the register — the price record, the state list, the dispensing pharmacy where one is named, and what the monthly figure covers. It describes what a reader can expect to meet on the way to a prescription, and what is missing from the seller’s own disclosures. It is not a clinical judgment and not a prescribing decision.
- 1PreventiveMD publishes a price on its own site before asking anything about you. You can compare it against this register without starting a questionnaire.
- 2The intake is a written questionnaire. No live video visit or baseline bloodwork is recorded as required.
- 3PreventiveMD does not say which pharmacy dispenses the medication. That is common here and it means you cannot check the pharmacy's record before you buy.
- 4The monthly price is recorded as covering medication, consult.
- Cheapest standing monthly prices on record: semaglutide $149, orforglipron $149, tirzepatide $299. Membership fees, first-month rates and insured copays are excluded from those figures.
- Coverage is published for 36 of 50 states.

Check the price yourself before you pay
Every figure here was read off PreventiveMD'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 at $149 a month, 89% below the $1299 median for the same drug and form across this register
- Tirzepatide at $299 a month, 76% below the $1249 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 and consult
- No FDA warning letter matched this operator when we searched our enforcement register
Against it
- 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
- 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 PreventiveMD charges
The standing price at PreventiveMD is $83/month. That sits at the affordable end of what we track.
- Compounded semaglutide — $83/month
- Compounded tirzepatide — $97/month
- Brand-name semaglutide — $149/month
- Brand-name orforglipron — $149/month
- Brand-name tirzepatide — $299/month
Across the GLP-1 providers in our register the median standing price is about $169/month, so PreventiveMD is genuinely under the middle rather than merely advertising that it is.
Potere Health MD dispenses semaglutide and tirzepatide from $80/month, which makes it the honest comparison to run before committing here.
What PreventiveMD dispenses
PreventiveMD 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. Both routes are available: the FDA-approved pen, or a compounded version at lower cost. The distinction is not cosmetic — the approved product has been reviewed for safety, efficacy and manufacturing quality, and a compounded preparation has not.
What we could verify
On the record: it operates in 36 states. We searched the federal warning-letter record for this operator and came back with nothing. Because the medication is compounded and no dispensing pharmacy is named publicly, the single most useful question to ask at intake is which licensed pharmacy fills the prescription. A seller that will not answer that has told you something. How we weigh oversight, disclosure and price evidence is set out in our scoring methodology.
Who should look elsewhere
- You need to bill insurance. Like most of this market, this is cash-pay.
It fits if
- the lowest standing monthly cost is what you are solving for
Our read
PreventiveMD competes on price and does it without an obvious sacrifice elsewhere: $83/month, no warning letter on file, and access that is not unusually restricted.
The Bottom Line
PreventiveMD's strongest column is the clinical side — which molecules it will prescribe, and how it handles dosing.

Where PreventiveMD is the wrong choice
No seller in this register suits every reader, and saying otherwise would be the easiest way to sell one. On these four counts another entry does better.
- If you want a human checking in, not just a prescription, consider Oak.
- If your state is outside the area this one covers, consider Direct Meds.
