What to watch for with DudeMeds and Hume Care

DudeMeds

  • The product pages call each offer a one-time purchase with no automatic renewal, but the payment consent in the legal terms still makes the first three months of medication fees due even if you stop, non-refundable once paid. Get the terms that apply to your order in writing before paying.
  • The product pages do not establish scheduled follow-up appointments. If appointments matter to you, confirm their availability, frequency and any extra cost before enrolling; asynchronous review alone does not establish care quality.
DudeMeds' strengths, cautions and terms

Strengths

  • Each offer page shows the full one-time total, the supply length and a weekly comparison figure before intake
  • Advertised first-supply totals: $99 for 28 days of semaglutide + B6 or $149 for tirzepatide + B6, if prescribed
  • Online intake reviewed by a licensed clinician, who decides whether to prescribe and at what dose

More to watch for

  • The company names itself DudeMeds LLC, incorporated in Delaware on its terms of sale page and in Florida on its terms and conditions page, both effective January 1, 2024, and its current contact page publishes no address. The pages we read do not name the dispensing pharmacy, so ask which one fills your prescription before ordering.
  • The independent review sample is small and not GLP-1-specific. Confirm the full term, total payment, renewal schedule and refund conditions before committing, rather than treating the first month as a trial.
Medicines listed
  • Semaglutide + vitamin B6 (compounded injectable)
  • Tirzepatide + vitamin B6 (compounded injectable)
Insurance

Consultation

States
Not available in Alabama, Arkansas, California, Kentucky or South Carolina, according to DudeMeds' product pages. In other states, availability and clinical eligibility are confirmed during intake.
Cancellation
The product pages call each offer a one-time purchase with no automatic renewal, but the legal terms still describe recurring plan billing and say the first three months of medication fees are due even if treatment stops, and are non-refundable once paid. Confirm which terms apply to your order before paying. The terms of sale let you cancel a first order without charge before the prescription is processed, and cover damaged, defective or wrong products.

Cancellation
Cancel before your renewal date in the Subscription section of your account or by emailing support@humecare.com. If you cancel a prepaid plan early, you keep access until the paid term ends but get no pro-rated refund. Two refund exceptions apply: if a physician in Hume's clinical network finds you ineligible for any treatment after your initial evaluation, Hume refunds that membership period within 10 business days, and an included device does not reduce the refund; if Hume ends a prepaid membership without cause, it refunds the unused portion.

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.
