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

semaglutidetirzepatide

Pros

✓Compounded injectable semaglutide from $149/month and compounded tirzepatide from $199/month on auto-refill, with a 30-day tirzepatide supply listed at $325 without it (checked July 27, 2026)
✓Explains what compounded medication actually is, and why it is not FDA-approved, instead of burying a disclaimer - the clearest patient-facing explanation of the distinction we found
✓Free online MD visit, free shipping and free follow-up care are all included in the price
✓Damaged or defective orders can be reported within two weeks, far more workable than the 24 to 48-hour windows most competitors impose
✓Publishes a support email, a street address and actual support hours rather than a contact form alone
✓Oral semaglutide is offered alongside injectables, plus sermorelin for those who want a non-GLP-1 option
✓Cancel anytime, and the pricing page states plainly that medical necessity is required rather than implying everyone qualifies
✓Separate men's and women's weight-loss pathways, and a broad catalogue covering hair, skin, sexual health and menopause

Cons

✗The refund policy was last modified on 21 September 2021, years before Strut added its GLP-1 line, so the document governing your money predates the product you are buying
✗No returns or refunds once medication leaves the pharmacy, and no refund for cancellations received after the pharmacy has processed the order
✗The tirzepatide page places 'Just $6.63' beside a '30 DAY SUPPLY $325' heading. The $6.63 figure is the daily rate for the $199 auto-refill price, not for the $325 supply shown next to it
✗'As low as' pricing is tied to committing to auto-refill, and the site does not show what a single non-recurring order costs for semaglutide
✗There is no independent review signal at all - no Trustpilot profile, no BBB file - so nothing external corroborates the service quality
✗GLP-1 sits inside a large catalogue spanning hair, skin and sexual health, so the weight-loss programme gets less dedicated clinical content than a specialist provider offers
✗Support runs weekdays 9am-5pm ET only, with no evening, weekend or phone coverage published
✗Compounded products carry the usual caveat that they have not been evaluated by the FDA for safety, efficacy or quality
