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.
Is PreventiveMD legit?
Yes. PreventiveMD is a real, operating US company, and we found no FDA warning letters issued to it. Its site shows LegitScript certification. We rate it 7.4/10 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 PreventiveMD promo or coupon code?
We know of no promo or coupon code for PreventiveMD. Its listed price is $83 a month. Coupon sites advertising "PreventiveMD discount codes" are not a source we can vouch for, and any genuine offer shows at checkout without a code.

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 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%
5.0/10$149/month is exactly the median for brand-name orforglipron across the sellers we compare.
Effectiveness25%
10.0/10Dispenses orforglipron, 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%
7.5/10No pharmacy is named for its prescriptions. It shows a price before asking for health information. It lists the states it serves.

What signing up with PreventiveMD 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.
- 1PreventiveMD 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 PreventiveMD 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 and clinician visits.
- Lowest ongoing monthly price: semaglutide $149, orforglipron $149, tirzepatide $299. That leaves out membership fees, first-month rates and insurance copays.
- PreventiveMD serves 36 of 50 states, so check that yours is one of them.

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 costs $149 a month, 85% below the $997 median for brand-name semaglutide across the sellers we compare
- Orforglipron costs $149 a month, close to the $149 median for brand-name orforglipron across the sellers we compare
- Tirzepatide costs $299 a month, 76% below the $1249 median for brand-name 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 and clinician visits
- We found no FDA warning letters issued to PreventiveMD
Against it
- Serves only 36 states, so check that yours is one of them
- 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 PreventiveMD charges
The standing price at PreventiveMD is $83/month.
- Compounded semaglutide: $83/month
- Compounded tirzepatide: $97/month
- Brand-name semaglutide: $149/month
- Brand-name orforglipron: $149/month
- Brand-name tirzepatide: $299/month
For brand-name orforglipron, the median across the sellers we compare is $149/month, so PreventiveMD's $149 lands mid-market. Price is unlikely to be the deciding factor.
Embody dispenses semaglutide and tirzepatide from $79/month, which makes it the fair comparison to run before you commit 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 difference is not cosmetic. The approved product has been reviewed for safety, efficacy and manufacturing quality, and a compounded preparation has not.
Safety and disclosure
PreventiveMD tells you its price before you start the medical questionnaire and the 36 states it serves. We found no FDA warning letters issued to PreventiveMD. Because the medication is compounded, the most useful question to ask at intake is which licensed pharmacy fills the prescription. If PreventiveMD 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 PreventiveMD bills your plan before you start.
Our read
PreventiveMD lands mid-market on price without a standout advantage or an obvious problem. It comes down to whether its particular package fits you.
The Bottom Line
PreventiveMD's strongest column is the clinical side: which molecules it will prescribe, and how it handles dosing.
Before you pay PreventiveMD
Starting at $83 a month. Check today's price, then start the intake.
Where PreventiveMD 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 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.
- If your state is outside the area this one covers, consider Trimi Health.
