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 advertised; confirm clinician availability and prescribing rules when moving.
Both medications are listed; switching requires clinician approval and may need a new evaluation.
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
Andrew Meds is best assessed on the total charge, your state eligibility, and how easily you can stop future billing. It runs about $199/month, flat across every dose.
Before choosing Andrew Meds, confirm the prescription offered, the services included, and the renewal terms. The sections below separate those decisions so you can compare the same costs and commitments.

The medications Andrew Meds prescribes
Andrew Meds prescribes semaglutide and tirzepatide. Availability of both does not guarantee that switching is appropriate or that a new evaluation is unnecessary. For any compounded option, confirm the dispensing pharmacy and formulation. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved finished products.
An oral or sublingual option is listed. Confirm the exact product: an FDA-approved oral medicine and a compounded oral formulation do not have the same approval status or supporting evidence.
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.
Trust, safety, and the fine print
Before enrolling with Andrew Meds, confirm the clinician, the dispensing pharmacy, and how to reach the care team between refills. 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.
Discuss pregnancy plans and breastfeeding with your clinician before starting or continuing treatment. Product-specific recommendations differ; this program review cannot establish that a medication is appropriate for you.
The bottom line
Choose Andrew Meds only when the ongoing cost and care arrangements fit your needs. Ask for the next charge, the cancellation deadline, and a contact for treatment questions before paying. Compare the same drug, supply period, and commitment across providers.
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.

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.
