Andrew Meds
What we like
- The whole price ladder is public before intake — $199/mo month-to-month for semaglutide, $299/mo for tirzepatide, no account required.
- Every advertised prepay saving matches the arithmetic; the $1,788 twelve-month semaglutide plan really is $149/month.
- State coverage is enumerated rather than blanket-claimed: 44 asynchronous states listed by code, plus 7 that require a live visit.
- The prescribing group is named — Dr Tel X — with its own phone, email and mailing address published.
- Medication, supplies and shipping are all stated as included in the subscription price.
- Toll-free phone support is published at (866) 888-6633.
Watch-outs
- The compounding pharmacy is never named; the terms refer only to contracted pharmacies.
- No refunds for partially used subscription periods — refunds are case-by-case at the company's discretion.
- Cancellation needs at least two days' notice before the renewal date, and the first renewal may be charged early.
- Multi-month plans are a single upfront charge, not a reduced monthly bill.
- No LegitScript certification or third-party accreditation is claimed anywhere on the site.
- Seven jurisdictions (DC, KS, LA, MS, NM, RI, WV) cannot use the async path and need a synchronous visit first.
