Primary Clinic (Direct GLP) vs Remote Pharmacy
The verdict
Remote Pharmacy takes it — 69.9/100 to 65.5/100.
Remote Pharmacy grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. Remote Pharmacy is a US direct-to-consumer telehealth service offering compounded GLP-1 weight-loss medication on a cash-pay basis with no subscriptions or hidden fees.
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 #219 · C
Strengths
- Direct Primary Care model integrates GLP-1 with continuous primary care — unlike most direct-to-consumer platforms
- GLP-1 at wholesale cost with no markup — semaglutide from $65/mo, tirzepatide from $110/mo (members only)
- Unlimited primary care visits, direct text access, and same-day care bundled in the $89/mo membership
- Routine labs and thousands of medications included in membership — no surprise bills
- Per-dose pricing shown publicly for all 8 dose tiers of both semaglutide and tirzepatide
Where it loses points
- The medication price is on top of an $89/mo direct-primary-care membership, which the FAQ states does not include the drug — all-in is about $174/mo for semaglutide and $222/mo for tirzepatide
- Prices are published as dose BANDS rather than per dose, and the cheapest tirzepatide band starts at 1.25 mg, below the 2.5 mg labelled starting dose
- The pricing is rendered entirely in JavaScript, so nothing on the page is readable without running the site's bundle
- Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide are not FDA-approved finished products
Graded #110 · C
Strengths
- Low cash-pay pricing with no subscription or hidden fees
- Free doctor consultation and free shipping (you pay only for medication)
- Offers injectable and sublingual or tablet forms of both drugs
- Medication made by 503A-certified compounding facilities
Where it loses points
- Does not publicly name its specific compounding pharmacies or clinical provider
- Covered states are not listed on the pages reviewed
- Newer brand with limited third-party track record
