- Both compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide on one account
- Available in all 50 states
- Straightforward, low-friction cancellation
The caveats
- Not the cheapest — flat-price challengers like Trimi Health and Alan Meds undercut its sticker price
- No FDA-approved brand-name option (compounded only)
- Does not yet publicly name its 503A/B pharmacy partner
Wholesome Clinic
What we like
- Publishes standing per-dose self-pay prices for compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide, oral and injectable
- Compounded semaglutide from $109/mo (oral) or $149/mo (injectable); brand Wegovy/Zepbound offered when appropriate
- Telehealth across seven states plus an in-person option at its Frisco, TX office
The caveats
- $149 initial evaluation and $75 follow-up visits are billed separately from medication
- Filled through your 'preferred pharmacy' — no single named compounding pharmacy partner
- No LegitScript certification displayed
