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

Medications

semaglutide

Pros

✓The subscription terms are handled better than most in this category: renewals are disclosed up front and an email is sent before each renewal 'confirming the amount, date, and upcoming charge'
✓You can cancel or pause at any time from your account or by emailing care@dudemeds.com, and a support address is published rather than hidden behind a form
✓No membership fee, no separate doctor fee and free shipping, with medication typically shipped within 48 hours of approval
✓Oral and injectable GLP-1 options, with prices advertised from $149 a month
✓Plan lengths run from monthly to 12 months, so a short commitment is possible
✓24/7 patient portal with clinician messaging for dose adjustments
✓Explicitly accepts transfers from other GLP-1 and TRT clinics, which is useful if you are already mid-treatment elsewhere
✓Failed payments are retried a stated maximum of three times over 30 days rather than indefinitely

Cons

✗Published product information is thin. There is no dedicated GLP-1 product page, no named medication and dose list, and no price ladder - just 'Prices from: $149+ / month'
✗We could not find a compounded-medication disclosure anywhere on the site. Every comparable provider states in writing that compounded drugs are not FDA-approved; DudeMeds does not appear to
✗Semaglutide appears only in customer testimonials, not in any product description we could locate, so what you are actually buying is unclear until you are in the funnel
✗Trustpilot sits at 2.5 out of 5, though from just 8 reviews
✗Once a prescription is filled and shipped, that portion is non-refundable
✗The site's legal documents are buried behind a 'Legal' index page rather than linked directly, and the refund terms sit inside 'Terms of Sale' rather than a named refund policy
✗GLP-1 treatment sits alongside ED, TRT, hair loss and herpes products in a men's-lifestyle brand, so the weight-loss programme gets little dedicated clinical content
✗The marketing voice is aggressively gendered - 'We aren't in the business of making safe spaces' - which tells you who the service is designed for
