Medications

semaglutidetirzepatide

Pros

✓Published pricing from $149/month, with a second tier from $196/month
✓No insurance needed and no hidden fees, stated on the site
✓The site carries a results-may-vary disclaimer on its compounded medications

Cons

✗The FDA has formally told Harper Meds that its labelling and its "same active ingredient as Ozempic" claim misrepresented its compounded products - see the warning letter above
✗The medication is compounded and therefore not FDA-approved - the agency has not reviewed it for safety, effectiveness or manufacturing quality
✗Compounded GLP-1 pricing in this tier is cheap partly because the product carries none of the trial programme, patent or distribution costs of the approved drug - and none of its regulatory review either
✗The "less than $5/day" framing converts to roughly $150 a month and is designed to sound smaller
✗No phone number, refund policy or pharmacy named

Medications

semaglutidetirzepatide

Pros

✓Prescribes only brand-name, FDA-approved GLP-1s - Zepbound, Mounjaro, Wegovy, Ozempic and Foundayo - with no compounded products
✓Publishes a genuine long-term outcome: 20% weight loss achieved at three years, which is a far longer follow-up than the 68-72 week trial data most providers cite
✓Includes 1:1 video coaching and lifestyle support rather than shipping medication and leaving you to it
✓Dedicated insurance navigation support to get the medication covered, instead of assuming cash-pay
✓Available either directly as an individual or through a participating employer
✓Starting price is published openly at $199/month (checked July 28, 2026)

Cons

✗At $199/month for the programme, this is a coaching-led service and the medication cost is separate - what you pay in total depends on your insurance
✗The $199 figure is a 'starting at' price
✗Because it only prescribes brand-name GLP-1s, cost without insurance coverage will be substantially higher than compounded alternatives
✗The 4.5 rating from 1,618 reviews is displayed on Calibrate's own site rather than an independent platform
✗GLP-1 medications are not suitable for anyone with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or MEN 2, or during pregnancy
