Direct Meds vs MyDrHank
The verdict
Direct Meds takes it — 77.6/100 to 68.2/100.
Direct Meds grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. One of the few programs offering an oral/sublingual route alongside injectable — semaglutide from ~$179 sublingual (~$297 injectable), tirzepatide ~$224/$399, with an intro promo near $147, all-inclusive and no membership.
We may earn a commission if you start care through some of these links, at no extra cost to you. It never moves the WeighScore, which is the weighted average of the six factors shown for every provider, and what we write about a provider is the same either way. See our disclosure.

Graded #34 · C+
FDAWarning letter issued to directmeds.com, Inc. dba DirectMeds in September 2025. See the FDA warning-letter database.
Strengths
- Rare oral/sublingual option in addition to injectable
- All-inclusive pricing with no separate membership fee
- Both molecules — semaglutide and tirzepatide
- Intro promotional pricing near $147
Where it loses points
- Compounded only — not FDA-approved
- Pricing is company-stated, not independently live-verified
- Newer and somewhat ambiguous (operates across multiple domains)
- States served are not disclosed
Graded #94 · C
Strengths
- Prices are published openly on the product pages, before any intake quiz — most compounded competitors gate the number behind a questionnaire
- A real oral semaglutide tablet ($249/mo month-to-month) beside the weekly injection, so the needle is optional on the semaglutide line
- The GLP-1 pages state the price stays the same at every dose, so titrating up does not raise the monthly cost
- Six prescription lines on one account — weight loss, longevity, peptides and NAD+, sexual health, hair growth and strength — with free shipping included
- Clean against the FDA warning-letter database: no letter on file under the brand, the entity or the domain
Where it loses points
- Every price MyDrHank displays is the twelve-month prepay rung — its price component renders the cheapest term in the ladder, so the month-to-month rate ($259 semaglutide, $349 tirzepatide) appears on no page on the site
- Month-to-month, it is expensive: $259 semaglutide against a $179 median across the providers here that disclose one, and $349 tirzepatide against a $249 median
- One advertised price is purchasable at no tier — a footnote quotes "$200/mo for compounded tirzepatide" when the cheapest tirzepatide rung is $240, and the "$171/mo" beside it is the oral product's yearly rate, not injectable semaglutide's ($178)
- An FAQ describes a twelve-month prepay rate as a plan with "no contract"
- Compounded only and not FDA-approved — no brand Wegovy, Ozempic, Zepbound or Mounjaro lane at any price
- The operating entity is named — Dr. Hank, LLC, credited in the privacy policy and terms of use — but nobody clinical is: no medical director or prescriber appears anywhere, no lab or monitoring program is published, and the compounding pharmacy is described only as "an FDA-registered U.S. pharmacy"
- The trust row reads "HIPAA-aware", not HIPAA-compliant — a hedge worth noticing on a site handling prescription intake
- No served-states list appears on the consumer site; the affiliate terms exclude Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico, North Dakota and West Virginia
