The verdict
Direct Meds takes it — 82.6/100 to 69.6/100.

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.

Graded #119 · C
Strengths

- Transparent, education-first positioning with published medical disclaimer, privacy, and terms
Where it loses points
