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

liraglutide

Pros

✓Every medication is priced individually and published up front: compounded liraglutide $160/mo, naltrexone and bupropion $60/mo, phentermine and topiramate $65/mo, sermorelin $130/mo, each plus membership (checked July 26, 2026)
✓Care is built around actual bloodwork rather than a questionnaire alone, with lab testing included in the membership
✓Two clear membership tiers with no lock-in: Basic at $25/mo and Premium at $155/mo, cancel anytime
✓LegitScript certified, and the affiliated medical practice (Broad Health) is named rather than hidden
✓Trustpilot score of 4.8 from over 12,000 reviews
✓Also treats testosterone, thyroid, menopause and sexual health, so it suits someone wanting hormone care and weight care from one provider
✓Hone states plainly that it does not sell, manufacture or dispense medications and that third-party pharmacies set their own prices

Cons

✗The only GLP-1 offered is compounded liraglutide, a daily injection. In the SCALE trial liraglutide 3.0 mg produced about 8% mean weight loss over 56 weeks, against roughly 15% for semaglutide and 21% for tirzepatide in their trials. If you want the stronger drugs, Hone is not where to get them
✗Compounded liraglutide is not FDA-approved and has not been evaluated by the FDA for safety, efficacy or quality
✗Costs stack: $160/mo for the medication plus $25/mo Basic or $155/mo Premium membership, so the realistic all-in is roughly $185 to $315 a month for the weakest GLP-1 on the market
✗Full access to medications is described as a Premium feature, so the cheap Basic tier may not be enough for a GLP-1 plan
✗You can pay for lab work and still not qualify for treatment. The terms state neither Hone nor Broad Health controls whether the lab refunds you 'even if you do not qualify for any treatment'
✗The Terms of Use require binding arbitration and waive class action rights
✗No customer phone number; support is by email and portal only, and slow responses are a recurring complaint theme
✗This offer is not available in Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Connecticut, Delaware, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Dakota, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Utah or Vermont
