The Protocole
What we like
- Names its medical group, Arora Health & Aesthetics, and its dispensing pharmacy, VialsRX
- A one-time 4-week supply is sold with no renewal, at $279 for semaglutide or $329 for tirzepatide
- Monthly plans cost less, $249 for semaglutide and $299 for tirzepatide, with free shipping
- You get a full refund if the clinician does not approve treatment
- You can pause or cancel a monthly plan before the next billing date
- An optional 45-minute video consultation costs $85, deducted from your order if you go ahead
- FSA and HSA cards are accepted
Watch-outs
- The lower monthly plan prices appear only at checkout; the website lists the higher one-time prices
- You must create a password-protected account before the first question
- Checkout charges your card before a clinician reviews you, though the FAQ says you pay after approval
- Orders become final once clinical review or fulfillment starts, and shipping fees are not refunded
- The terms describe a membership fee and no subscriptions, which does not match the checkout
- The one-time checkout says there are no recurring charges but also shows auto-renewal wording
- Its Trustpilot profile is unclaimed and has a single review
- Disputes go to binding individual arbitration under New York law
Vytora Health
What we like
- All 50 states plus DC, with per-state video-vs-audio compliance disclosed
- Both compounded and brand-name options on one platform — uncommon
- LegitScript Approved and HIPAA compliant
- Pharmacy partners named publicly: Vials Pharmacy (TX) and Greenwich Biosciences
- Operating entity disclosed: Wasef Health, PC (Pinellas Park, FL)
- Competitive monthly pricing ($180 sema / $249 tirz) plus a 3-month bundle saving 17%
- Brand-name Mounjaro and Zepbound available at $1,399/mo for FDA-approved options
Watch-outs
- Brand-name Mounjaro/Zepbound at $1,399/mo is near retail — insured patients may do better via LillyDirect Self Pay ($449-$699/mo)
- Compounded tirzepatide at $249/mo is mid-market, above the $149-199 floor
- Dose tiers aren't broken out — 'all doses included' means low-dose patients pay the same as high-dose
- Initial consultation cost not shown on the public pricing page
- Limited per-prescriber state licensure detail
