Why this site exists
The same medication, priced five different ways
Insurance, Medicare, manufacturer direct, compounded telehealth, retail. The gap between the cheapest and the most expensive is larger than most people believe until they check — and the route you land on has almost nothing to do with the medication itself.
Every route, priced and dated →How it works
How online GLP-1 treatment works
Whichever route you end up on, the shape is the same. Knowing it upfront makes the pricing decisions easier.
Share your health picture
A questionnaire covering weight history, conditions and medications. It replaces the intake paperwork of an in-person clinic.
A clinician reviews it
A provider licensed in your state confirms whether treatment is appropriate, then prescribes if it fits.
Medication ships to you
Dispensed by a pharmacy and shipped in temperature-controlled packaging, with follow-up support.
Inside a GLP-1 treatment journey
Each stage, from the first questionnaire to a package on your doorstep and the weeks that follow.
Step 1
Your answers are read by a licensed professional
A questionnaire on weight history, conditions and goals, reviewed by a clinician licensed in your state.
Step 2
Eligibility is checked against clear criteria
Usually a BMI of 30, or 27 with a weight-related condition. Certain histories screen you out, and that is the point.
Step 3
Treatment ships in cold-chain packaging
Check it on arrival. If it has frozen in transit it is discarded, not used, however normal it looks.
Step 4
Your dose rises in small steps
Roughly every four weeks to about week 17. Little change in month one is expected — that is a tolerance dose, not a treatment dose.
Step 5
Results build alongside steady habits
Protein first at every meal. Muscle loss during rapid weight loss is the main nutritional risk, and it lowers your baseline.

Matchups
Head-to-head, with a verdict
Not a table of specs. An answer, and who it applies to.
Retatrutide vs Ozempic: Not the Same Comparison
These are not alternatives. Ozempic is approved for type 2 diabetes and prescribable today; retatrutide is investigational, with no legal supply route.

Retatrutide vs Semaglutide: Should You Wait?
Do not wait. Semaglutide works now; retatrutide is a 2027 question at the earliest, and untreated obesity does not pause while a pipeline matures.

Retatrutide vs Tirzepatide: What the Trials Show
Tirzepatide is the answer for anyone treating obesity today. Retatrutide has better trial numbers and no approval, no prescription route, and no legal supply.
