The scorecard
Direct Meds scored on our six Brief Score factors. See the methodology.
What we like
- Rare oral/sublingual option in addition to injectable — sema from ~$179 sublingual/$297 injectable
- Both molecules covered — tirzepatide from ~$224 sublingual/$399 injectable, with a promo line near $147
- All-inclusive pricing with no separate membership fee
The caveats
- Compounded only — not FDA-approved
- Prices are company-stated, not live-verified at checkout, and the desk runs multiple domains
- Newer operator with an ambiguous public footprint
- Does not disclose which states it serves
The brief
Best for: Readers who want a needle-free oral or sublingual route on either molecule and an all-inclusive price with no separate membership — and who are comfortable that the figures are company-stated rather than checkout-verified. A newer (2024) compounding desk whose real hook is form: it runs an oral/sublingual line alongside the usual injections, on both molecules, with no membership tacked on.

Compare with other providers
All 28 other providers we've reviewed, in our overall ranking order.
- #1CoreAge Rx— The steadiest desk on the board: one flat, no-step-up price on both molecules, nationwide, and it hasn't moved.94/100
- #2Eden— A polished, high-disclosure program with strong nationwide coverage — you pay more, but you know exactly what you're paying for.91/100

- #4Invigor Medical— An established telehealth pharmacy with a broad metabolic and hormone catalog and a steady price line.88/100
- #5Found— A coaching-first program with the lowest identical price on both molecules — if you want the coaching lock-in that comes with it.88/100
- #6Ro— A heavyweight platform with brand-name access and a polished experience — but it keeps compounded pricing off the record.87/100
- #7ShedRx— A weight-focused program with a low tracked tirzepatide rate and an oral/sublingual route for the needle-averse.87/100
