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. LegitScript certification is the third-party check worth asking for — look for the seal on their site and confirm your prescriber is US-licensed at intake. Like most programs here it dispenses compounded GLP-1s, which are made by a licensed pharmacy but aren't FDA-approved.
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 $199/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.
Does Transparent Meds ship to my state?
Transparent Meds doesn't publish a full state list, so confirm your state is covered during intake before you pay.
Transparent Meds vs MEDGm — which should I pick?
They score within a few points of each other: Transparent Meds at 61/100 and MEDGm at 60/100, so neither wins on the headline number. Transparent Meds is the better fit for people who want transparent, upfront monthly pricing on compounded semaglutide or tirzepatide injections. MEDGm suits people who want four named pharmacies and a fifty-state footprint, and who will click the coupon off before deciding what the program costs. Run the quiz and the weighting shifts to whichever of those matters more to you.
Pricing & state data last verified June 2026 from Transparent Meds's public site and our master provider matrix. The Match Score and its sub-scores are our editorial judgment per the methodology.

Semaglutide here is $229/mo (promotional rate, compounded) — $30 above our category median of $199. Tirzepatide is $349/mo (compounded). Its strongest suit is the range of medication it offers. Best suited to people who want transparent, upfront monthly pricing on compounded semaglutide or tirzepatide injections. If that is not you, MEDGm is the closest thing to it here.
