Medications

compounded GLP-1compounded GLP-1/GIPbrand-name GLP-1s

Pros

✓The GLP-1 pricing page is the most transparent we have seen anywhere in this category: a dose-by-dose table for four different products, with shipping and supplies included in every figure (checked July 28, 2026)
✓Compounded GLP-1 injectable runs $165.90 for the lowest doses, $270.90 in the mid range and $355.00 at the top; the dual-action GLP-1/GIP injectable runs $210.00 to $434.00, all for a 4-week supply
✓Sublingual options are offered as well, from $164.00 for GLP-1 and $209.00 for dual-action GLP-1/GIP, for people who will not inject
✓Its partner compounding pharmacies are 503B-accredited. 503B outsourcing facilities register with the FDA, are subject to current good manufacturing practice requirements and are FDA-inspected - a materially higher standard than the 503A pharmacies most competitors use
✓There is no membership fee. You pay for care and medication only
✓Visits are insurance-covered for qualifying patients, and HSA/FSA funds can be used for copays and services
✓Midi will also prescribe brand-name GLP-1s sent to a pharmacy of your choice, so you are not locked into compounded product if you would rather have the approved drug
✓The efficacy claim is the best-sourced in this category. Midi reports patients lost an average of 16 lbs after six or more months, and footnotes it to a retrospective analysis of 6,958 patients who completed two or more weight management visits between 1 May 2025 and 30 April 2026, while stating plainly that weight data were self-reported and results are not guaranteed
✓Care is genuinely whole-person for midlife women - perimenopause, menopause, weight, mood and memory, sexual wellness, hair and skin, sleep, and cancer survivorship - with lab orders and lifestyle support included where appropriate
✓Available in all 50 states

Cons

✗The compounded products are still not FDA-approved. 503B accreditation raises the manufacturing standard considerably but does not mean the FDA has reviewed these preparations for safety or efficacy
✗Midi never names the active drug anywhere in its pricing. Everything is labelled 'GLP-1' or 'GLP-1/GIP'. The dose ladders shown - 0.25 through 2.5 mg, and 2.5 through 15 mg - match the standard semaglutide and tirzepatide titrations exactly, but you should confirm with the clinician what you are actually being prescribed
✗Microdosing is offered from $34 a week for eligible patients. Microdosing is not an evidence-based protocol - the trials behind these drugs used full therapeutic doses, and the 16 lb outcome figure covers patients on 'a range of treatments', not microdosing specifically
✗Medicaid and Medi-Cal patients cannot be treated at all, even if they offer to pay cash
✗Medicare does not cover Midi, and beneficiaries cannot submit claims for visits, medications or associated services
✗Prices rise steeply as you titrate up. Injectable GLP-1 more than doubles from $165.90 to $355.00, and the dual-action sublingual runs from $209.00 to $460.00, so the entry price is not what you will pay long term
✗The 16 lb average comes from self-reported weights in a retrospective chart review with no control group - well documented, but not a controlled trial
✗GLP-1 medications are not suitable for anyone with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or MEN 2, or during pregnancy. Pancreatitis and gallbladder disease are recognised risks

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
