Pros & Cons

FormBlends

What we like

  • Low published entry price on compounded semaglutide ($99) from a licensed 503A pharmacy
  • Physician-supervised program with 24/7 care-team access and free shipping over $150
  • Extensive free educational content, guides and provider comparisons on-site

Watch-outs

  • Enrollment and final pricing complete on an external portal (rx.formscripts.com), not fully on-site
  • $99 may be an intro rate; tirzepatide is comparatively high at $349/mo
  • State availability and LegitScript status not published; pharmacy is its own FormScripts brand

Collective

What we like

  • The lowest published compounded GLP-1 medication prices we track — $59/month semaglutide and $69/month tirzepatide
  • Flat pricing at every dose, so titrating up does not raise the bill
  • Unlimited clinician messaging and registered-dietitian access are included rather than upsold
  • 21-day free trial on the membership before the annual fee is charged

Watch-outs

  • The advertised $59 and $69 exclude a mandatory $199 annual membership — the real first-year cost is $907 and $1,027
  • Membership fees are non-refundable and no partial-period refunds are given
  • Compounding pharmacies are described only as 'independent, third-party licensed pharmacies' and are never named
  • State availability is not published on the marketing site
