Graded #371 · C
Strengths
- Transparent pricing: wholesale cost + 15% markup + $5 pharmacy fee, the same for everyone
- Around $279/mo for branded Ozempic — well below typical retail list prices
- Mark Cuban's PBM-disrupting pharmacy, praised by Forbes Health, Wired, and KFF Health News
- Ships to all 50 states; genuine FDA-approved Novo Nordisk Ozempic, not compounded
- Partnered with 9amHealth so you can get prescribed and fill at Cost Plus pricing
Where it loses points
- Fulfillment only — no telehealth intake; you need a prescription from an outside clinician
- Ozempic is FDA-indicated for type 2 diabetes, not weight management — weight-loss use is off-label
- Wegovy availability has been spotty — check current stock before assuming it ships
- No compounded semaglutide or tirzepatide — brand only
- No clinical follow-up — side-effect monitoring falls to your prescribing clinician
Graded #425 · C
Strengths
- LegitScript Certified with a working verification link
- Six named pharmacy partners with city/state: AnazaoHealth (FL), Tailor Made (KY), Redrock (UT), Professional Arts (LA), Perfect RX (TX), Vios (MI)
- Oral dissolving tablet (ODT) form for both semaglutide and tirzepatide — rare in the DTC market
- No subscription required — lower commitment than auto-renewal competitors
- Cancellation policy linked publicly
Where it loses points
- Per-drug pricing isn't shown — gated behind signup
- Named medical director not disclosed — only a generic 'board-certified providers' claim
- Corporate legal entity not disclosed
- Full states-served list not shown — only testimonial cities (Austin, Miami, Denver)
- 503A vs 503B status not stated per pharmacy
