Citizen Meds vs Sumbare Wellness
The verdict
Citizen Meds takes it — 63.7/100 to 61.9/100, but only just.
Citizen Meds grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. Citizen Meds is a GLP-1/weight-loss injection provider offering semaglutide. Sumbare Wellness is close behind and may still be the better fit — see the factor split below.

Graded #254 · C
Strengths
- Semaglutide confirmed from product listings
- New-patient discount available (code NEWPATIENT10)
Where it loses points
- No visible LegitScript or PCAB accreditation
- State availability not disclosed
- About page returns a 404
- Limited overall transparency
Graded #283 · C
Strengths
- One flat $199/month price covering medication, provider review and shipping, with no consultation fee and no dose-change surcharge
- Charges nothing if a provider does not approve you
- Offers a deliberate low-dose microdosing protocol aimed at body composition, which most competitors do not break out
- Publishes a named legal entity, a US mailing address and a working phone number
- Pre-screening quiz is short and asks your goal before any medical question
Where it loses points
- Cancellation terms contradict three ways: the homepage says cancel anytime, the Terms say 48 hours notice, the FAQ says 30 days
- Availability is unclear: the homepage counter reads 3 states while the treatment pages say telehealth nationwide, and no state list is published
- Its chart cites placebo-controlled trials of compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide, which do not exist; those trials studied the branded drugs
- No compounding pharmacy is named, and neither 503A nor 503B appears anywhere on the site
- Any returned prescription is charged a $35 disposal fee, and prescription orders cannot be cancelled at all after 24 hours
