Medications

semaglutide

Pros

✓Pricing is published without an intake: compounded semaglutide at $299/month, discounted from a stated $344, and Bella Capsules at $149/month (checked July 28, 2026)
✓Health coaching is bundled with the medication rather than sold as an upsell
✓The site states plainly that the medications are compounded, in the first line of the product description
✓An eligibility check is available before you commit to a plan

Cons

✗A Trustpilot average of 3.0 across roughly 1,000 largely unsolicited reviews is a real warning sign, and among the lowest of any provider on this site
✗The claim of 'up to 20% weight loss within 6 months' for compounded semaglutide does not match the evidence. The STEP-1 trial of branded semaglutide found about 15% over 68 weeks; 20% is closer to the tirzepatide figure, and neither trial studied a compounded product over six months
✗Describing its medication as containing ingredients 'clinically proven to be safe and effective' borrows the approved drug's evidence for a compounded preparation that has not been evaluated by the FDA for safety, efficacy or quality
✗At $299/month for compounded semaglutide, it is among the more expensive compounded options we cover - several providers charge under $200
✗Trustpilot lists the company's location as the United Kingdom, so check service coverage before assuming US availability
✗No published phone number
✗GLP-1 medications are not suitable for anyone with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or MEN 2, or during pregnancy

Medications

semaglutidetirzepatide

Pros

✓The full dose-by-dose price ladder is published before purchase: semaglutide 0.25 mg (4 injections) $125, 0.5 mg $245, 1.0 mg $295, 1.7 mg + 2.4 mg $345, 2.5 mg $395
✓No subscription is necessary - you can buy a single month without enrolling in anything recurring
✓HSA and FSA cards are accepted
✓Physician access is included in the product price
✓Ships 2-day or overnight, and the product does not require refrigeration in transit
✓A clear, published eligibility floor: a minimum BMI of 27 is required to order
✓If a physician does not approve your order, it is refunded instantly
✓A physician may contact you within 24 hours of purchase if more information is needed

Cons

✗A blanket no-refund policy on everything else: "Our medications are ordered specifically per patient and therefore cannot be refunded. We have a 'no refund policy'"
✗Subscription patients are automatically escalated to a higher dose every month unless they email support to opt out - and the price rises with the dose. The burden is on you to stop it
✗The escalating price ladder means the $125 headline is a first-month figure only. By month five you are at $395
✗You have 48 hours from delivery to inspect the package and report any problem, which is a short window if you are travelling
✗Insurance is not accepted at all
✗HSA/FSA support is minimal - only a plain purchase receipt is provided, with no codes, forms or physician notes if your administrator asks for them
✗The medication is compounded and therefore not FDA-approved
✗No phone number is published - contact is info@citizenmeds.com only
✗The website itself is thin: the product catalogue carries far more detail than the company does
