Patient story
Our summary
According to the video from The GLP-1 Guide, DirectMed is a telehealth platform that prescribes compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide for weight loss, with both injectable and sublingual (under the tongue) options. The narrator says the company advertises serving over 53,000 customers, charges no membership or platform fees, and includes ongoing nurse support. The process described is a short online intake, a review by a licensed provider, and, if approved, a 3-month supply that ships within about one business day.

What else the video covers
The video lists prices it says are all-inclusive, covering the medication, telehealth visits, shipping, injection supplies when needed, and nursing team access. Sublingual semaglutide drops start at $249 per month, injectable semaglutide is $297 per month, and tirzepatide injections are $497 per month. The narrator says sublingual tirzepatide pricing varies by dose. Listed strengths include sublingual options for people who are needle-phobic, fast shipping, and acceptance of HSA and FSA payments. Listed drawbacks include tirzepatide pricing that is higher than some rivals, a 3-month program structure instead of month-to-month, and no built-in lab testing.
The narrator also raises caveats. DirectMed uses compounded medications rather than FDA-approved brand-name products, so the video says quality and efficacy depend on the partner pharmacies and formulations. Some customer reviews mention frustration with automatic 3-month shipments and cancellation. The video says the program suits people who are needle-phobic, want no hidden fees, want fast shipping, and plan to use HSA or FSA funds. It says the program is a weaker fit for those seeking the lowest monthly price, ultra-slow microdose titration, or bundled lab monitoring.

Our guides closest to what this video covers, with prices checked weekly.
- Telehealth weight loss programs: how they work, what the monthly price covers, and the red flags
A telehealth weight loss program is an online clinic: you fill in a health questionnaire, a licensed clinician reviews it and decides whether to prescribe a GLP-1, and a pharmacy ships it to your door. Cash prices on our board start at $69 a month for compounded semaglutide and $85 for compounded tirzepatide. What the headline leaves out is a membership fee, dose-based pricing or a prepaid term, so compare the all-in monthly figure.
- GLP-1s without insurance: what each route actually costs
Without insurance you have three real routes and they are far apart. Buying direct from the manufacturer is the branded one: Novo publishes $349 a month for the Wegovy pen and from $149 for the tablet, Lilly $299 to $699 for Zepbound by dose. Compounded semaglutide or tirzepatide from a telehealth program is a fraction of that but is not FDA-approved. And the savings cards you will be pointed at mostly require commercial insurance, so if you have none they are not available to you at all.
- Is Henry Meds legit? What it charges, what reviews say, and its FDA record
Yes. Henry Meds is a real telehealth company that prescribes compounded GLP-1s through licensed providers and, by its own account, fills them only at licensed US compounding pharmacies. As of October 2026 its plans start at $179 a month for compounded liraglutide or under-the-tongue semaglutide, and weekly semaglutide injections are $297 a month on its own price page. Trustpilot scores it 4.4 across 12,534 reviews, and we found no FDA warning letter naming it.
