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

Monthly Price
$162
Medications
semaglutidetirzepatide

Pros

  • One all-in price with nothing bolted on: "Starting at $162/month. Billed monthly. One simple all-in price — medication and care included"
  • A hard commitment on the fee that catches most patients: "$0 membership fee... Many telehealth programs tack on a monthly membership fee just to stay a patient — on top of your medication. We don't. Ever."
  • Free to start, with nothing to pay until a provider has reviewed your case
  • Licensed providers in all 50 states
  • It rejects the form-filling model directly - a conversational intake that takes about two minutes rather than a long questionnaire
  • It is explicit that a clinician, not software, makes the call: "Not a chatbot, not a vending machine. A Medivive clinician reviews your history and prescribes only when it's clinically appropriate"
  • Compounded by a licensed US pharmacy with refills arriving on schedule and dose adjustments as your labs change
  • The compounded disclaimer is correctly stated: compounded medications are not FDA-approved finished drug products and are not reviewed by the FDA for safety or efficacy
  • A published support email, care@mymedivive.com
  • A published library of educational content on semaglutide, tirzepatide, how GLP-1s work and side effects

Cons

  • The medication is compounded, so it has not been evaluated by the FDA for safety, quality or efficacy
  • "Starting at $162" is a floor price and no dose ladder is published, so higher doses may cost more
  • The pharmacy is described only as "a licensed U.S. pharmacy" and is never named
  • No phone number or business address is published
  • The site references your provider adjusting treatment "as your labs change" without stating whether labs are required, who orders them or who pays
  • No insurance billing and no HSA/FSA information
  • No published refund or cancellation policy
  • A young brand with no verifiable third-party review presence yet
