Pros & Cons

Fresh Day Meds

What we like

  • Among the lowest compounded GLP-1 pricing in the market ($133/mo sema, $166/mo tirz on 3-month bundle)
  • LegitScript certified and HIPAA compliant
  • Coverage across 49 states plus DC
  • Free expedited shipping with prescription review in under 4 hours
  • No membership or consultation fees on top of medication price
  • Single account covers GLP-1, hair, sexual wellness, TRT, and NAD+/B12
  • Houston, TX headquarters publicly disclosed

Watch-outs

  • Compounding pharmacy partner not named — only 503A/503B facilities referenced
  • Medical director and founder names not disclosed
  • Compounded-only — no brand-name fallback if the FDA shortage pathway ends
  • State count is inconsistent: ToS lists 49 states + DC (no Arkansas) while About page claims all 50 + DC
  • Dose-specific pricing not shown — only flat 'as low as' pricing before checkout
  • Medical group operates as Telegra MD LLC (Spokane, WA) — a typical white-label arrangement

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
