Andrew Meds review
Almost nobody shows a family the whole ladder before the intake, and Andrew Meds does: compounded 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 as what they are, because each is a single charge rather than a smaller monthly bill — the advertised $149 semaglutide means paying a full year before the first box ships. Where it matters most, the disclosure is better than average. 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 the District of Columbia, listed rather than claimed as a number, and there is an oral tirzepatide alongside the injections. The gaps are the compounding pharmacy, never named, and a refund policy that returns nothing on a period you have partly used.

How we scored Andrew Meds
Each score comes out of Andrew Meds's published pricing, disclosures and oversight, and the six combine into the 57/100 Editors' Rating on the same weighted six-factor framework we apply to every provider — never nudged by whether a provider pays us.
Cost is unpredictable, premium, or hides behind a plan commitment.
Oversight and lab support fall short of the top of this roster — the review below says exactly where.
The core price is disclosed, but some conditions or add-ons aren't upfront.
Little here is shaped around a mother's week or her life stage.
Support is thin once the prescription ships.
Leaving costs you — notice windows, minimum terms or fees you don't get back.

One of the very few sellers that shows a family the whole ladder before asking for anything: $199 a month for semaglutide and $299 for tirzepatide, falling to $149 and $229 if you buy a year. Read those long plans carefully, because each is a single charge rather than a smaller bill — $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, Dr Tel X in Kennewick, Washington. Fifty states and DC are listed out. The pharmacy is never named, and a period you have partly used is not refunded.

What we like
- The complete price ladder for both molecules is published before any intake
- Names the separate practice that prescribes, with its own address and phone number
- All fifty states and DC enumerated rather than asserted as a count
- Offers an oral tirzepatide alongside the injections
- Flat as the dose titrates, so the bill does not climb as the dose does
The caveats
- Every multi-month price is one upfront charge — $149 means $1,788 at once
- The compounding pharmacy is never named; the terms say only "contracted pharmacies"
- 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 FDA-approved Wegovy, Ozempic, Zepbound or Mounjaro
- Nothing addresses pregnancy, breastfeeding or postpartum timing
Andrew Meds for mothers: our verdict
Almost nobody shows a family the whole ladder before the intake, and Andrew Meds does: compounded 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 as what they are, because each is a single charge rather than a smaller monthly bill — the advertised $149 semaglutide means paying a full year before the first box ships. Where it matters most, the disclosure is better than average. 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 the District of Columbia, listed rather than claimed as a number, and there is an oral tirzepatide alongside the injections. The gaps are the compounding pharmacy, never named, and a refund policy that returns nothing on a period you have partly used. It runs about $199/month, flat across every dose.
We weigh Andrew Meds the way mothers actually have to: not just the real monthly cost, but the real monthly cost once the dose climbs and whether a real clinician stands behind it — the things a generic roundup never gets to.
What Andrew Meds actually costs
- Compounded semaglutide — Month to month: $199/mo
- Compounded semaglutide — 3-month plan, a single charge of $549: $183/mo
- Compounded semaglutide — 6-month plan, a single charge of $999: $167/mo
- Compounded semaglutide — 12-month plan, a single charge of $1,788: $149/mo
- Compounded tirzepatide — Month to month: $299/mo
- Compounded tirzepatide — 3-month plan, a single charge of $797: $266/mo
That's roughly in line with the ~$179/month median across our roster.
The medications Andrew Meds prescribes
Andrew Meds prescribes semaglutide and tirzepatide — the pair with the strongest evidence behind them, and having both under one account matters when insulin resistance, familiar from PCOS and gestational diabetes, makes tirzepatide the better fit. These are compounded formulations from a licensed pharmacy — the reason the price stays down — but compounded GLP-1s aren't FDA-approved finished products the way Wegovy and Zepbound are.
A needle-free oral or sublingual option is on the menu, which draws in mothers who've been avoiding injections — just set expectations: oral and buccal delivery of these peptides is far less studied than the injectable versions the trials used.
Where Andrew Meds fits — and where it doesn't — for mothers
Worth it if…
- you may need to move between semaglutide and tirzepatide as your body and hormones change.
- uninterrupted nationwide access matters — a move for family shouldn't interrupt care.
Give it a miss if…
- you specifically want an FDA-approved brand pen with its own pregnancy and lactation labeling.
- you want frictionless cancellation — the fine print here is where the complaints cluster.
- you'd rather a prescriber talk through timing around the real monthly cost once the dose climbs — that's what our #1 pick, CoreAge Rx, is built for.
Trust, safety, and oversight
Our confidence in Andrew Meds's public facts is high — pricing, pharmacies, and clinical network were verifiable at last review. As with any compounded GLP-1, the most useful thing mothers can do is confirm which licensed pharmacy fills the prescription and what's in the formulation — we explain how we weigh oversight in our Editors' Rating methodology.
One line that applies to every provider on this masthead: no GLP-1 is established as safe in pregnancy or while breastfeeding, and the labels advise against use. This is a review of a commercial program, not a green light — the timing decision belongs to you and your clinician.
The bottom line
Andrew Meds is a reasonable option — weigh it on the real monthly cost once the dose climbs and whether a real clinician stands behind it against the alternatives below. For most mothers, CoreAge Rx remains the stronger all-round fit — see why it tops our ranking.
The bottom line for mothers
Best for: A family that wants every tier priced in front of them before starting, and will decide deliberately whether a year paid up front is worth $50 a month.

- Visit CoreAge RxCoreAge RxOur #1 pick
The one program on this masthead whose number still makes sense at the top of the dose. A flat, all-in monthly price on both molecules, no teaser rate to expire, and a cancel button you can actually find — the closest thing to a family-budget guarantee we've reviewed.
- Visit Gala Health
A flat $179 for either molecule and a genuinely gentle microdosing tier — a reasonable, all-doses-included option, if you can live with a yearly plan and a pharmacy the marketing never names.
- Visit Sesame
A high-trust telehealth marketplace that took a clear side: FDA-approved brand GLP-1 only, no compounded shortcut. You pay a brand cash price and book a real video visit — but you get on-label pens and one of the cleaner reputations on this masthead.

Head-to-head & alternatives
Andrew Meds, answered
- Is it really $149 a month?
- Only if you pay $1,788 for a year in advance. Every multi-month plan here is one charge rather than a lower monthly bill, and the site says so plainly. Month to month, semaglutide is $199 and tirzepatide is $299. Those are the numbers to plan a household budget around unless a year's cost up front is something you can absorb.
- Who 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 address. Andrew Meds LLC, in Houston, is the company you buy from. Naming the prescribing practice separately is a fuller disclosure than most sellers offer, and it tells you where the clinical relationship actually sits.
- What does it not tell you?
- Which pharmacy compounds the medication. The terms refer only to 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 happens if plans change midway?
- You do not get that period back. The terms state 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.
