Graded #370 · 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 #259 · C
Strengths
- Spanish-language platform with Spanish-speaking, U.S.-licensed providers — a genuine gap in GLP-1 telehealth
- Compounded semaglutide $99 first month ($179/mo after) and tirzepatide $189 first month; same price at every dose, no membership fee
- LegitScript-certified (#50274281); free expedited shipping; named obesity-medicine physicians
- Same-day doctor visits, 24/7 support, FSA/HSA eligible, cancel anytime
Where it loses points
- Ongoing prices ($179-289/mo) are mid-range once the first-month intro ends
- Doesn't name its compounding pharmacy partners (generic 'certified pharmacies')
- No legal entity name or explicit state-coverage list published on the site
- Compounded GLP-1s are not FDA-approved (the site discloses this)
