What you are buying

Direct-to-consumer GLP-1 access with competitive pricing. Direct Meds GLP-1 prescribes Compounded semaglutide, Compounded tirzepatide as sublingual, injection. Everything it dispenses is compounded: mixed by a pharmacy to a prescription rather than made by the manufacturer, and never through FDA approval as a product. It ships to 48 states — All US states except Mississippi and Louisiana, 'where state regulations currently restrict the prescribing of weight-management medications via telehealth'.

Direct Meds GLP-1 does not bill insurance. The prices below are what you pay. The medication is included in the monthly price. It says it dispenses through a 503A pharmacy, which it does not name.

What the medication actually costs

Context before the programme price: what a pharmacy pays to acquire the branded equivalent. Direct Meds GLP-1 sets its own price on top of a compounded or branded supply.
