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

Medications

semaglutidetirzepatide

Pros

✓Published pricing from $149/month, with a second tier from $196/month
✓No insurance needed and no hidden fees, stated on the site
✓The site carries a results-may-vary disclaimer on its compounded medications

Cons

✗The FDA has formally told Harper Meds that its labelling and its "same active ingredient as Ozempic" claim 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 "less than $5/day" framing converts to roughly $150 a month and is designed to sound smaller
✗No phone number, refund policy or pharmacy named
