Direct Meds GLP-1 by plan length
The lowest price Direct Meds GLP-1 publishes on each plan, all in per month, what you pay on day one, and what twelve months at that price come to.

| Month to month | Sublingual Semaglutide | $249 | $249 | $2,988 |
First year, at the least: $2,988, on the month-to-month plan for Sublingual Semaglutide. That assumes the entry price every month; most programs charge more as the dose rises, so read it as a floor, not a quote.
