  • Tirzepatide (compounded injectable)
  • Semaglutide (compounded oral dissolving tablet)
  • Tirzepatide (compounded oral dissolving tablet)

Not confirmed; request the complete fee breakdown
Shipping
Not confirmed; ask whether shipping adds to the quoted total
States
Site claims all 50 states; confirm the specific treatment and clinician availability
Cancellation
Ask for the current recurring-payment, cancellation and refund terms and your next charge date before you pay; do not assume a one-off order or refundable trial.

TMates

  • The $99/mo Wegovy or Zepbound tier buys the prescription and provider oversight only. TMates says it does not dispense or ship the drug, and no price for the medication itself appears on its product or category pages, so your own pharmacy bills you separately (checked 2026-09-03).
  • The best compounded rates require prepayment: $1,050 upfront for 6 months, $1,900 for 12. Start at $249 month-to-month if you want to test fit first.
TMates' strengths, cautions and terms

Strengths

  • Clinical-service-only path to brand Wegovy and Zepbound at $99/mo, prescription goes to patient's pharmacy (you fill separately using insurance or cash)
  • Steep multi-month commitment discounts on compounded sema, $158/mo on 12-month plan ($1,900 upfront) vs $249/mo month-to-month
  • Same price at all dose levels for compounded, no cost escalation as you titrate up
  • Phentermine available at $149/mo for patients who benefit from a different appetite-suppressant approach

More to watch for

  • TMates prescribes brand-name but does not dispense it, and is not affiliated with Novo Nordisk (Wegovy) or Eli Lilly (Zepbound). Your own pharmacy fills the Rx.
Medicines listed
  • Semaglutide (compounded, injectable or oral)
  • Tirzepatide (compounded injectable; the product page also shows an Oral format, but every dosing instruction on it describes a weekly injection)
  • Phentermine (oral)
  • Wegovy (brand-name clinical service only, prescription, not dispensing)
  • Zepbound (brand-name clinical service only, prescription, not dispensing)
Insurance
Lists insurance support. Confirm coverage for your plan.
Consultation
Included
Shipping
Free (for compounded; brand-name filled at patient's pharmacy)
States
Most states. TMates advertises all 50 states on its homepage and 50+ states on its about page, while its semaglutide page says it ships to most states based on medical eligibility (checked 2026-09-03)
Cancellation
Product pages say cancel anytime. The terms give a full refund only before the medical review, or after it if you do not qualify. Once a prescription is written and sent to a pharmacy there is no refund, and a denied refund request leaves any payment plan in force (checked 2026-09-03)

Compounded medicines are not FDA-approved, and the FDA does not review them for safety, effectiveness or quality before they are sold. Read the FDA's explanation of the risks.
