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

✓The membership price is stated plainly and repeatedly: $89/month, with medical visits, daily monitoring, coaching and member content included (checked July 27, 2026)
✓Every mention of that price carries the qualifier 'Does not include the cost of medication' - the most consistent disclosure of a membership-versus-medication split we have seen on any site here
✓Providers navigate insurance on your behalf to get brand-name GLP-1s covered, with compounded medication offered as a fallback if you have no coverage
✓The programme fee is HSA/FSA eligible
✓Nutritional coaching and meal planning are part of the membership rather than paid add-ons
✓A cancellation policy is published alongside the terms and privacy documents
✓24/7 support with fully online consultations

Cons

✗Two different first-month discounts appear on the same page: a banner offering '50% off First month membership with code JRNY50' and body copy repeatedly stating 'First month deal: 25% off'
✗The page uses a quotation from Oprah Winfrey about weight-loss prescriptions as a testimonial. The quote is about GLP-1 medication generally, not about JRNYS, and we found no evidence of any association between her and this company - placing it on the pricing page implies an endorsement that does not appear to exist
✗The $89 membership is the smaller half of the bill. Medication is extra and its cost is never quantified anywhere on the site, so your real monthly outlay is unknowable before signing up
✗Trustpilot sits at 3.3 out of 5 from 73 reviews, the weakest score among membership-model providers we have reviewed
✗Whether you get brand-name or compounded medication depends on your insurance, so two customers paying the same $89 may receive quite different products
✗No published customer phone number or support hours
✗No BBB profile or complaint record to check
✗A patient testimonial quantifies a specific result ('Audrey lost 53lbs. with JRNYS') without the context that individual results vary widely
