Pros

  • The full dose-by-dose price ladder is published before purchase: semaglutide 0.25 mg (4 injections) $125, 0.5 mg $245, 1.0 mg $295, 1.7 mg + 2.4 mg $345, 2.5 mg $395
  • No subscription is necessary - you can buy a single month without enrolling in anything recurring
  • HSA and FSA cards are accepted
  • Physician access is included in the product price
  • Ships 2-day or overnight, and the product does not require refrigeration in transit
  • A clear, published eligibility floor: a minimum BMI of 27 is required to order
  • If a physician does not approve your order, it is refunded instantly
  • A physician may contact you within 24 hours of purchase if more information is needed

Cons

  • A blanket no-refund policy on everything else: "Our medications are ordered specifically per patient and therefore cannot be refunded. We have a 'no refund policy'"
  • Subscription patients are automatically escalated to a higher dose every month unless they email support to opt out - and the price rises with the dose. The burden is on you to stop it
  • The escalating price ladder means the $125 headline is a first-month figure only. By month five you are at $395
  • You have 48 hours from delivery to inspect the package and report any problem, which is a short window if you are travelling
  • Insurance is not accepted at all
  • HSA/FSA support is minimal - only a plain purchase receipt is provided, with no codes, forms or physician notes if your administrator asks for them
  • The medication is compounded and therefore not FDA-approved
  • No phone number is published - contact is info@citizenmeds.com only
  • The website itself is thin: the product catalogue carries far more detail than the company does
