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

✓Offers both compounded and FDA-approved branded GLP-1s, and labels which is which on the landing page: compounded semaglutide from $149.99/mo, compounded tirzepatide from $249.99/mo, and brand-name Ozempic, Mounjaro, Wegovy, Foundayo and Zepbound from $199.99/mo (checked July 27, 2026)
✓Brand-name medication at $199.99 undercuts its own compounded tirzepatide, so the FDA-approved route is not automatically the expensive one here
✓Trustpilot rating of 4.4 across 1,034 reviews
✓This offer is restricted in only two states, Alaska and Washington - the narrowest exclusion list of any provider we have reviewed
✓Substantial free tooling and educational content: BMI and TDEE calculators, a semaglutide versus tirzepatide comparison, and guides on what GLP-1s actually do
✓Testosterone, oxytocin and weight-loss protocols under one roof if you want hormone and metabolic care from the same clinic
✓The body-fat chart carries a 'Results may vary' disclaimer rather than presenting the figure as a promise

Cons

✗The headline result claim is '↓28%' body fat, sourced only to 'Averages based on real results from Maximus clients'. That data is not published, and body fat is a different measure from the body-weight percentages every other provider quotes - the two are easy to confuse when comparing
✗We could not find an explicit 'not FDA-approved' disclosure for the compounded products. The category is labelled 'Compounded' and the other is labelled 'FDA-approved', but the plain statement most competitors make is missing
✗No refund or cancellation policy is published - only a privacy policy and terms of use
✗A statistic on the oxytocin product renders as '↑ 0 %of participants reported', so at least one clinical figure on the page is broken
✗'Starting at' pricing on all three categories, with no indication of what plan length unlocks the lowest rate
✗GLP-1 sits alongside testosterone and mood products in a men's-focused brand, so the weight-loss programme is one line among several
✗No published phone number or support hours on the landing page
