Medications

orforglipron

Pros

✓The first and only FDA-approved GLP-1 pill for weight loss that can be taken at any time of day with no food or water restrictions, approved 1 April 2026
✓In the ATTAIN-1 trial, participants on the highest dose who stayed on treatment lost an average of 27.3 pounds (12.4% of body weight) against 2.2 pounds (0.9%) on placebo
✓Counting everyone randomised regardless of whether they finished, the average was still 25 pounds (11.1%) versus 5.3 pounds (2.1%) on placebo - Lilly published both numbers rather than only the flattering one
✓A once-daily tablet, so there is no injection, no needle disposal and no refrigeration to organise
✓Self-pay pricing is published up front at $149 per month for the lowest dose through LillyDirect, with free home delivery
✓Eligible people with commercial insurance may pay as little as $25 per month with the Foundayo savings card
✓Eligible Medicare Part D patients may be able to get it for $50 per month from as early as 1 July 2026 - a rarity in this category
✓Lilly reported reductions in waist circumference, non-HDL cholesterol, triglycerides and systolic blood pressure across all doses
✓It is a small-molecule (non-peptide) GLP-1, which is why it can be manufactured as a pill rather than an injection

Cons

✗Weight loss is meaningfully lower than the best injectables. 12.4% at the top dose sits below tirzepatide territory, so if maximum weight loss is the goal an injection still wins
✗It carries the class boxed warning: it may cause thyroid tumours including thyroid cancer, and must not be used by anyone with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or MEN 2
✗Should not be used alongside another GLP-1 receptor agonist
✗Common side effects include nausea, constipation, diarrhoea, vomiting, indigestion, abdominal pain, headache, fatigue, heartburn, gas and hair loss
✗Serious risks in the label include pancreatitis, dehydration leading to kidney problems, gallbladder problems, severe allergic reactions and aspiration risk under anaesthesia
✗Safety and effectiveness in children have not been established
✗$149 is the price of the lowest dose only - higher doses cost more, and the $25 and $50 figures depend on insurance eligibility rather than being available to everyone
✗Very new to market, so there is no long-term real-world safety and adherence record yet

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
