Pricing in context
How Transparent Meds's monthly price sits against the category median and the cheapest provider we track.
What we like
- Transparent, upfront monthly pricing — intro $149/mo for compounded semaglutide and $249/mo for tirzepatide (regular $229 / $349)
- Clean, modern telehealth experience with a quick eligibility quiz and clinician review before any prescription
- HIPAA-compliant and displays a LegitScript-style verification seal
The caveats
- Headline prices are intro first-month fees — the regular monthly cost is higher ($229 semaglutide, $349 tirzepatide)
- Connector model that pairs you with licensed providers; it doesn't name its compounding pharmacy
- Doesn't publish the states it serves, so confirm availability before signing up
- Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide injections only — no oral, brand-name, or insurance options

Transparent Meds, answered
Is Transparent Meds legit?
Transparent Meds is a real, operating GLP-1 telehealth program, but we don't find it on the LegitScript registry, so it carries less third-party verification than the certified providers on our board. It dispenses compounded medication, which isn't FDA-approved. Vet the prescriber and pharmacy before you commit.
How much does Transparent Meds cost?
Transparent Meds lists compounded semaglutide from $229/mo (promotional rate, compounded) and tirzepatide from $349/mo (compounded) — above our category median of $179/mo. These are the provider's public figures at our last review (June 2026); confirm on their site, since some teaser tiers step up after month one.
