Lean Meds
What we like
- One flat monthly price that does not increase as your dose is titrated up
- Names five dispensing pharmacies outright: Belmar, Strive, Epiq Scripts, Casa Pharma Rx and The Pharmacy Hub
- Names its prescribing physicians with verifiable NPI numbers, which few competitors do
- Full price list is published before any intake, and the monthly rate includes the visit and shipping
- Month-to-month with no contract, and available in all 50 states
Watch-outs
- The advertised $69 and $95 rates are 12-month prepay tiers; month-to-month is $79 and $109
- A countdown timer claims the price rises within hours, which is a pressure tactic rather than a real deadline
- The LegitScript link goes to the generic lookup form with no seal ID, so certification could not be verified
- Consultation fees are non-refundable and all other sales are final except where the refund policy applies
- Cancellation must reach support by email at least 48 hours before the monthly processing date
CoreAge Rx
What we like
- LegitScript certified — rigorous pharmacy standards
- Free 2-day shipping nationwide
- Both semaglutide and tirzepatide available
- Lowest per-month pricing in the compounded segment
- 24/7 support team
- All 50 states covered
Watch-outs
- Compounded only — no brand-name Ozempic or Wegovy
- Newer brand with fewer independent reviews than legacy players
