Direct Meds review

One of the rare programs offering an oral/sublingual route on both molecules with all-inclusive pricing — but the verdict marks it down hard because the numbers are company-stated, not independently verified.

What we like

  • Rare oral/sublingual drops on both molecules — sublingual semaglutide from $179/mo and tirzepatide from $224/mo — plus an injectable path
  • All-inclusive pricing with no separate membership fee to layer on top
  • Covers both semaglutide and tirzepatide rather than a single molecule

The caveats

  • Every option is compounded, not FDA-approved
  • Pricing is company-stated (from a press release) and not independently verified — treat the figures as claims, not confirmed rates
  • Newer entity (est. 2024) operating across several similar-looking domains, so confirm you're on the right one
  • States served are not disclosed, so coverage can't be verified before you sign up

The verdict

Best for: Needle-averse patients who specifically want a sublingual GLP-1 option and are willing to vet a newer operator themselves. One of the rare programs offering an oral/sublingual route on both molecules with all-inclusive pricing — but the verdict marks it down hard because the numbers are company-stated, not independently verified.
