Andrew Meds review
The complete ladder is on the page before any intake, which almost nothing else here does: semaglutide $199 a month, $549 for three months, $999 for six, $1,788 for twelve; tirzepatide $299, $797, $1,494, $2,748. Read the long tiers correctly — each is a single upfront charge rather than a smaller monthly bill, so the advertised $149 means paying a full year before the first box ships. Disclosure is above average where it counts. Andrew Meds LLC is named with a Houston address, and the practice that writes the prescription is named separately as Dr Tel X in Kennewick, Washington. Coverage is all fifty states and DC, enumerated rather than claimed, and there is an oral tirzepatide alongside the injections. The gaps: the compounding pharmacy is never named, no time to first dose is published, and a period you have partly used is not refunded.

How we scored Andrew Meds
Each factor is read off Andrew Meds's published pricing, disclosures and intake flow, and the six roll up into the 74/100 Rx-Readiness Score on the same weighted six-factor framework we apply to every provider — never nudged by whether a provider pays us.
The weakest showing on speed — a slow published timeline, or none at all.
Fair pricing once you read past any teaser or plan structure.
Mostly async, with a light touchpoint before you're dosed.
All 50 states — a move for work or family won't interrupt care.
Semaglutide and tirzepatide on one account — switch without re-signing.
Exit terms are the weak point: lock-in, notice periods, or a cancellation path that isn't published.

The whole ladder is published before the intake, which is rare: $199 a month semaglutide, $299 tirzepatide, down to $149 and $229 on a year. Every multi-month tier is one upfront charge, not a smaller bill — $149 means $1,788 before the first shipment. It names its company in Houston and the separate practice that prescribes, Dr Tel X in Kennewick, Washington. Fifty states and DC, enumerated. The pharmacy is never named and a part-used period is not refunded.

What we like
- The complete price ladder for both molecules, published before any intake
- Names the separate practice that prescribes, with address and phone
- All fifty states and DC enumerated rather than asserted
- An oral tirzepatide alongside the injections
- Flat as the dose titrates
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; refunds at the company's discretion
- Cancellation needs two days' notice and the first renewal may be charged early
- No time to first dose published
- Nothing addresses pregnancy, breastfeeding or postpartum timing
Andrew Meds for working moms: our verdict
The complete ladder is on the page before any intake, which almost nothing else here does: semaglutide $199 a month, $549 for three months, $999 for six, $1,788 for twelve; tirzepatide $299, $797, $1,494, $2,748. Read the long tiers correctly — each is a single upfront charge rather than a smaller monthly bill, so the advertised $149 means paying a full year before the first box ships. Disclosure is above average where it counts. Andrew Meds LLC is named with a Houston address, and the practice that writes the prescription is named separately as Dr Tel X in Kennewick, Washington. Coverage is all fifty states and DC, enumerated rather than claimed, and there is an oral tirzepatide alongside the injections. The gaps: the compounding pharmacy is never named, no time to first dose is published, and a period you have partly used is not refunded. It runs about $199/month, flat across every dose.
We weigh Andrew Meds the way working moms actually have to: not just the monthly line on your budget, but how fast you can start without a scheduled video visit and a flat monthly price that doesn't climb as your dose does — the parts a generic review does not measure.
What Andrew Meds will cost you
- 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 roughly in line with the ~$179/month median across our roster.
The medications Andrew Meds prescribes
Andrew Meds prescribes semaglutide and tirzepatide — the two best-evidenced molecules in the class, and having both on one account matters because you can switch between them without re-enrolling or hunting down a new provider mid-plan. 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 working moms 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 working moms
Right for you if…
- you want a flat price that doesn't climb every time you titrate up a dose.
- nationwide access matters — a move for work or family shouldn't interrupt care.
Not your best option if…
- you specifically want an FDA-approved brand pen and insurance navigation.
- you want frictionless cancellation and no prepay lock-in — the exit terms are the weak point here.
- you'd rather the most predictable place to start and pause — which is exactly what our #1 pick, CoreAge Rx, is designed around.
Trust, safety, and the fine print
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 working moms can do is confirm which licensed pharmacy fills the prescription and what's in the formulation — we explain how we weigh oversight in our scoring methodology.
One line that applies to every provider on this site: 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 how fast you can start without a scheduled video visit and a flat monthly price that doesn't climb as your dose does against the alternatives below. For most working moms, CoreAge Rx remains the stronger all-round fit — see why it tops our ranking.
The bottom line for working moms
Best for: Someone who wants every tier priced before starting and will decide deliberately whether a year up front is worth $50 a month.

- Visit CoreAge RxRx-Readiness95100CoreAge RxOur #1 pick
The shortlist pick: one flat price that doesn't climb as your dose does, both molecules on a single plan, and a nationwide async intake you can finish on a break.
- Visit Pallas HealthRx-Readiness89100
Pallas Health removes the two things that usually cost a working parent the most time: it publishes every price before intake, and it runs care asynchronously in 43 of 50 states, so there's no video appointment to wedge into a workday. Compounded semaglutide averages about $199 a month and tirzepatide $299, and unusually the genuine FDA-approved pens sit alongside them — Zepbound $1,069, Ozempic $1,299, Wegovy and Mounjaro $1,349 — all cash-pay from the same clinician. The price is flat at every dose, so a titration never produces a surprise bill, and the plan figure already contains the clinician, dose adjustments, check-ins and messaging with no membership fee. Its cancellation terms are unusually concrete: cancel free through the portal, keep access to the end of the paid period, full refund if a clinician declines you, and a $5 processing fee on a qualifying refund. The trade-offs are that billing lands every 12 weeks in $597 and $897 blocks rather than monthly, the compounding pharmacy is never named, and insurance is never billed.
- Visit Trimi HealthRx-Readiness88100
The price-first partner: some of the lowest flat, all-inclusive compounded pricing we track, nationwide and async — strong if the monthly number is your deciding factor and you read the annual-prepay fine print.

Head-to-head & alternatives
Andrew Meds, answered
- Is $149 a real monthly rate?
- Only as an average. It requires paying $1,788 for twelve months up front. Every multi-month plan here is one charge, and the site says so. Month to month it is $199 semaglutide and $299 tirzepatide — the numbers to budget against unless a year up front is workable.
- Who prescribes?
- Dr Tel X, an independent practice named in the terms with its own address in Kennewick, Washington, its own phone number and support address. Andrew Meds LLC in Houston is the seller. Naming the prescribing practice separately is fuller disclosure than most offer.
- What is not disclosed?
- The compounding pharmacy — the terms say only "contracted pharmacies" — and the time to first dose, which appears nowhere. There is also no LegitScript or other third-party accreditation claimed.
- How hard is it to stop?
- Cancellation needs at least two days' notice before renewal, and the terms warn the first renewal may be charged early. There are no refunds for partially used subscription periods; refunds are case-by-case at the company's discretion.
