Andrew Meds review
Hardly anyone shows you the whole ladder before the intake, and this one does: semaglutide at $199 a month, $549 for three months, $999 for six and $1,788 for twelve, with tirzepatide at $299, $797, $1,494 and $2,748. Read the long plans for what they are, though — each is a single charge rather than a smaller monthly bill, so the $149 semaglutide everyone quotes means paying a full year before the first box ships. Where it counts, the disclosure is better than most: Andrew Meds LLC is named with a Houston address, and the practice that actually writes the prescription is named separately as Dr Tel X, with its own address in Kennewick, Washington. Coverage is all fifty states and DC, listed rather than claimed, and there is an oral tirzepatide alongside the injections. What is missing is the compounding pharmacy, never named, and a refund policy that returns nothing on a period you have partly used.

How I scored Andrew Meds
Every factor here comes from Andrew Meds's own pricing, its disclosures and the signup I walked, and the six add up to the 73/100 Mom-Tested Score on the same weighted six-factor method I use on every provider — never nudged by whether a provider pays us.
Scores low here: getting started asks more of your week than most.
Fair, once you've read past the plan structure or an intro rate.
Scores high on medication choice — the options that matter are covered.
Scores high: where you live is unlikely to be the obstacle.
Support is the weakest part of this provider's score.
Exit terms are the weak point: lock-in, notice periods, or a cancellation you have to chase.

One of the very few places that showed me the whole ladder before asking for anything: $199 a month for semaglutide, $299 for tirzepatide, down to $149 and $229 if you buy a year. Read the long plans properly though — each one is a single charge, not a smaller bill, so $149 semaglutide means $1,788 before the first box arrives. It names its company in Houston and, unusually, names the separate practice that actually writes the prescription. Fifty states and DC, listed out. No pharmacy named, and a part-used month is not refunded.

HSA and FSA usually work for this — worth checking your own plan. The prices here are what Andrew Meds's public disclosures showed at last review, and they change often; confirm the current number on Andrew Meds's own site.
What I like
- The whole price ladder for both molecules, published before any intake
- Names the separate practice that prescribes, with its own address and phone
- All fifty states and DC listed out rather than claimed as a number
- An oral tirzepatide alongside the injections
- Flat as the dose titrates, so the bill does not climb with the dose
The caveats
- Every multi-month price is one upfront charge — $149 means $1,788 at once
- The compounding pharmacy is never named
- No refunds for partially used periods, and refunds are at the company's discretion
- Cancellation needs at least two days' notice and the first renewal may be charged early
- Compounded only — no brand-name Wegovy, Ozempic, Zepbound or Mounjaro
- Nothing about pregnancy, breastfeeding or postpartum timing
What I actually think of Andrew Meds
Hardly anyone shows you the whole ladder before the intake, and this one does: semaglutide at $199 a month, $549 for three months, $999 for six and $1,788 for twelve, with tirzepatide at $299, $797, $1,494 and $2,748.

Coverage is all fifty states and DC, listed rather than claimed, and there is an oral tirzepatide alongside the injections. What is missing is the compounding pharmacy, never named, and a refund policy that returns nothing on a period you have partly used. It runs about $199/month, and it's flat at every dose.
I look at Andrew Meds the way moms actually have to — not just the real monthly number, but nursing and pregnancy timing and canceling without a fight. That's the stuff a generic weight-loss review skips right over.
What Andrew Meds really costs
- Compounded semaglutide — Month to month: $199/mo
- Compounded semaglutide — 3-month plan, one charge of $549: $183/mo
- Compounded semaglutide — 6-month plan, one charge of $999: $167/mo
- Compounded semaglutide — 12-month plan, one charge of $1,788: $149/mo
- Compounded tirzepatide — Month to month: $299/mo
- Compounded tirzepatide — 3-month plan, one charge of $797: $266/mo
That's about in line with the ~$179/month middle of my shortlist.
Which meds Andrew Meds prescribes
Andrew Meds prescribes semaglutide and tirzepatide — the two with the strongest published weight-loss numbers, and having both on one account genuinely matters if insulin resistance is in the mix (which it often is with PCOS or after gestational diabetes), because that's when tirzepatide tends to be the better fit. These are compounded from a licensed pharmacy — that's why the price stays down — but compounded GLP-1s aren't FDA-approved finished products the way Wegovy and Zepbound are, and it's worth knowing that going in.
There's a needle-free option here too, and it's worth asking exactly which kind before you choose it. An FDA-approved GLP-1 tablet is a studied medicine with its own label; a compounded under-the-tongue version is a different thing, far less studied than the shots the trials actually used. They get advertised in almost identical language.
Who Andrew Meds is — and isn't — for
A good fit if…
- you might need to move between semaglutide and tirzepatide as your body and hormones shift.
- staying covered no matter where you are matters — a move for family shouldn't blow up your care.
Look elsewhere if…
- you specifically want an FDA-approved brand pen with its own pregnancy and lactation labeling.
- you want to be able to cancel without a fight — the exit terms are the part of the fine print I'd read twice here.
- you'd rather a prescriber actually talk through nursing and pregnancy timing with you — that's what my #1 pick, CoreAge Rx, is built to do.
Can you trust it?
I'm confident in the public facts on Andrew Meds — pricing, pharmacies, and the clinical network all checked out when I last looked. With any compounded GLP-1, the most useful thing you can do is confirm which licensed pharmacy fills it and what's actually in the formulation — I explain how I weigh oversight in the scoring method.
One line that's true of every provider on this site: no GLP-1 is established as safe in pregnancy or while breastfeeding, and the labels say don't. This is me reviewing a commercial signup, not giving you a green light — the timing call is yours and your clinician's.
So, would I use it?
Andrew Meds is a reasonable option — weigh it against the picks below on nursing and pregnancy timing and canceling without a fight. For most moms, CoreAge Rx is still the stronger all-round fit — and you can see them side by side in this head-to-head.
The bottom line for moms
Best for: Someone who wants every tier priced in front of her before she starts, and who will decide on purpose whether a year up front is worth $50 a month.
If Andrew Meds isn't the one
Providers I have a referral relationship with, ordered by Mom-Tested Score — highest first. A fee never moves a score, but it does decide who shows up in this box, so it isn't everyone: my full ranking has every provider, paid or not.
- Visit CoreAge RxMom-Tested Score94/100ACoreAge RxMy #1 pick
The one I'd point a friend to first: I finished the intake in a single nap, the price on screen was the price I'd actually pay, and both semaglutide and tirzepatide were right there on one account.
- Visit Pallas HealthMom-Tested Score86/100B+
Pallas is one of the few places that will sell you either the cheap compounded route or the real brand-name pen without making you pick a provider first — compounded semaglutide works out to about $199 a month and tirzepatide about $299, while actual Zepbound, Ozempic, Wegovy and Mounjaro sit alongside them at cash-pay prices from $1,069. The price genuinely doesn't climb as you titrate, Pallas says so plainly on its own site, and the clinician, dose adjustments, check-ins and messaging are all inside that one number with no membership fee stacked on top. Two clinicians are named and both check out in the federal NPI registry, the LegitScript badge it displays is a real one, and it publishes an actual refund policy — full refund if a clinician turns you down, and a $5 processing fee if you cancel a qualifying payment — which is more paperwork than most of this market bothers with. The two things to know before you commit: it bills every 12 weeks in $597 and $897 chunks rather than monthly, and it never names its compounding pharmacy.
- Visit Trimi HealthMom-Tested Score85/100B
The price-first pick: some of the lowest flat, all-inclusive pricing I found, in all 50 states — great if the monthly number is your whole decision and you read the annual-prepay fine print before you sign.

Head-to-head & alternatives
Andrew Meds, answered
- Is it really $149 a month?
- Only if you hand over $1,788 for a year up front. Every multi-month plan here is one charge rather than a lower monthly bill, and the site says so plainly. Month to month it is $199 for semaglutide and $299 for tirzepatide, and those are the numbers I would plan around unless a year's cost in one go is something you can absorb.
- Who actually writes the prescription?
- A separate practice called Dr Tel X, named in the terms with its own address in Kennewick, Washington, its own phone number and its own support email. Andrew Meds LLC in Houston is the company you buy from. Naming the prescribing practice separately is more than most places bother with, and it tells you where the clinical relationship really sits.
- What is missing?
- The pharmacy. The terms mention contracted pharmacies and never name one, so there is nothing to look up. There is also no LegitScript certification or other third-party accreditation claimed anywhere on the site.
- What if I need to stop halfway through?
- You do not get that period back. The terms say there are no refunds for partially used subscription periods and that refunds are handled case by case at the company's discretion. Cancellation needs at least two days' notice before your renewal date, and the terms warn the first renewal may be charged early.
