These two prices are not directly comparable

QuickMD: the $99 figure is a per-visit consultation fee, not a month of treatment - the medication is billed separately.

Medications

semaglutidetirzepatide

Pros

✓Flat pricing across doses is promised in the banner: "SAME PRICE EVERY MONTH"
✓Promotional rates published up front - GLP-1 from $89/month and GLP-1 + GIP from $149/month
✓24/7 support advertised, and no insurance required

Cons

✗The FDA has formally told altRx that its labelling and its "clinically proven" claims misrepresented its compounded products - see the warning letter above
✗The medication is compounded and therefore not FDA-approved - the agency has not reviewed it for safety, effectiveness or manufacturing quality
✗Compounded GLP-1 pricing in this tier is cheap partly because the product carries none of the trial programme, patent or distribution costs of the approved drug - and none of its regulatory review either
✗The headline rates are a dated summer promotion ("OFFER ENDS AUGUST 5TH AT MIDNIGHT") against a standing price of $199/month, so the advertised figure is not the ongoing one
✗No phone number, refund policy or pharmacy named on the site

Medications

Pros

✓Flat, published consultation pricing: $99 for a weight-loss consultation with a licensed doctor who can prescribe a GLP-1 if appropriate
✓No membership, no insurance requirement and no surprise fees, stated plainly on the pricing page
✓Prices for every other service line are published on the same page - $99 addiction treatment, $99 mental health, $79 menopause hormone therapy, $75 urgent care, $19 counselling - which is unusually transparent
✓Available in 42 states, seven days a week, with same-day visits
✓The prescription goes to the pharmacy of your choice, so you can shop the medication price separately instead of being locked into one supplier
✓An established multi-service telehealth practice rather than a single-product weight-loss funnel
✓Explicit about what it will not do - it publishes the list of medications it cannot prescribe, which most competitors leave vague

Cons

✗The $99 buys the consultation only. QuickMD states plainly that the cost of medication depends on your pharmacy and your prescription drug coverage, so your total monthly cost is unknown until you fill the script
✗QuickMD does not accept health insurance for the visit itself
✗Weight-loss consultations are not available in Louisiana
✗42 states is short of nationwide, and the missing eight are not listed on the pricing page
✗No medication is dispensed or shipped, so there is no cold-chain handling, no bundled pricing and no delivery guarantee
✗No dedicated coaching, dietitian or app-based programme wrapped around the prescription
