Read our full Found review →About Transparent Meds
Transparent Meds is an online GLP-1 weight-care service that connects you with licensed medical providers and leads with upfront pricing: compounded weekly injections of semaglutide at an intro $149/month (reg $229) and tirzepatide at $249/month (reg $349), prescribed after a quiz and clinician review. It is HIPAA-compliant with a LegitScript-style seal and a transparency-first brand, but uses a connector model, doesn't name its compounding pharmacy, and doesn't publish the states it serves; displayed prices are illustrative first-month program fees.
