Medications

semaglutidetirzepatide

Pros

✓Published pricing for both microdose programmes: $229/month for the single-agonist GLP-1 ($687 total) and $239/month for the dual-agonist ($717 total)
✓No hidden membership, shipping or consultation fees, stated as a headline on the microdose page
✓Available in all 50 states
✓The partner pharmacy is named - Clover Pharmacy - and described as dispensing from 503A-compliant, state-licensed facilities
✓Payment is refunded if the medical provider determines you are not eligible for an EllieMD programme
✓24/7 access to a provider is included in the plan rather than sold as an upgrade
✓A state-licensed, board-certified MD, DO or qualified medical provider reviews your intake, and a phone call may be required rather than everything being asynchronous
✓The compounding disclaimer is explicit: compounded medications are not FDA-approved and the FDA does not review them for safety, efficacy or quality
✓It discloses that vial appearance, contents and dosage may vary based on your personalised prescription
✓Offers a paid 15-minute consultation with a wellness expert that comes with a $25 credit toward your next order

Cons

✗The whole proposition is microdosing, which has no controlled trial evidence behind it. Every published GLP-1 outcome - the 15% and 20% figures the category is built on - comes from full therapeutic doses
✗Both prices are quoted per month but billed as a multi-month total ($687 and $717), so the real commitment is three months up front
✗Compounded medication, not FDA-approved
✗The catalogue mixes prescription GLP-1s with Thymosin Alpha-1, hormone therapy, protein supplements and skincare, which blurs the line between medicine and wellness retail
✗The claim that "community support can double weight loss efficacy" is footnoted to a 2015 Northwestern citation and used to market a product that citation did not test
✗No phone number, support email or business address is published
✗No insurance billing and no HSA/FSA information
✗It is not clear from the site whether full therapeutic dosing is available at all, or only microdoses

Medications

semaglutidetirzepatide

Pros

✓Tiered pricing is published on the product pages: the GLP-1 + B12 program is $149/month at Level 1 ($447 for a 10-12 week supply) and $139/month at Level 2 ($834), with tirzepatide at $149 to start then $249/month billed quarterly (checked July 27, 2026)
✓Free physician consultation and free shipping are included rather than charged separately
✓A price-match guarantee is offered against competitors
✓Compounded semaglutide is paired with B12 in a single injection, which some patients prefer to two separate shots
✓Comprehensive bloodwork is available, which is more than most GLP-1 sellers offer
✓Unlimited provider access is advertised with the plan
✓One of the broader catalogues in the category if you want hormone, sexual health or longevity care from the same clinic

Cons

✗All sales are final once medication is received - PeterMD will not refund or accept returns 'regardless of whether the product remains unused'
✗Damaged or defective items must be reported with a photo within 24 hours of delivery, and the policy states that later requests 'will not be honored'
✗An exit popup pressures an HCG add-on with manufactured scarcity: 'This is the last time you'll see $301... $301 today. $412 if you add it later'
✗The discount maths on the GLP-1 page does not hold up. A '3-Month Plan' shown as 'Regular price: $358.00, Today: $315.00' is labelled '-40%'. That is a 12% reduction, not 40%
✗The same $315 figure appears as PeterMD's own discounted price and, elsewhere on the page, as what 'Others' charge in a '3.8x More Affordable' comparison
✗Tirzepatide is described as 'Clinically proven' although the product sold is a compounded preparation, which has not been through the trials that phrase refers to
✗'The Largest Online Healthcare Clinic in North America' appears in the page title with nothing to support it
✗This offer is not available in Alabama, Arkansas, California, Idaho, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, North Carolina, South Carolina or Texas - twelve states including the two largest
