What to watch for with DudeMeds and Wellorithm

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
No insurance support listed
Consultation
Not itemized on the current offer pages; review the charges in secure intake before paying
Shipping
Not itemized on the current offer pages; review the charges in secure intake before paying
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.

Wellorithm

  • The October 30 terms name Wellorithm Inc. and give a Miami legal notice address. That disclosure does not independently verify incorporation, ownership, founders or a medical director. The October 8, 2026 review did not verify which named clinician oversees this GLP-1 program or their program-specific role
  • October 22 pricing records $247 semaglutide or $349 tirzepatide renewals. Current published terms specify calendar-month injection billing; confirm your selected order's current charge, taxes and next payment date
Wellorithm's strengths, cautions and terms

Strengths

  • One price at every dose: the pricing page states the medication price is the same across the semaglutide range of 0.25 to 2.4 mg and the tirzepatide range of 2.5 to 15 mg (checked October 16, 2026)
  • Conditional weight-loss refund guarantee: if expressly included in the accepted offer, eligible new customers losing less than 10% of baseline weight after 16 weeks of adherence may request up to four months of fees actually paid; verification and other conditions apply
  • The pricing page shows your first payment and your renewal side by side: $147 then $247 per renewal for semaglutide, $249 then $349 for tirzepatide, with the consultation and shipping included
  • Short online eligibility quiz, virtual consultation, 24/7 support availability claimed
  • 23,000+ reviews and 4.9-star rating reported (volume is unusually high for this market segment, verify on independent third-party sources before relying on it)
  • Free, discreet shipping is included in the advertised injection plan

More to watch for

  • Request compounded GLP-1 renewal cancellation at least 48 hours before the disclosed charge through your account or by email, and keep the effective-date confirmation. Later legal rights and stoppable orders still apply; cancellation alone does not create a current-term or prorated refund
  • The guarantee must be expressly included in your accepted offer. Its conditions include new-customer eligibility, treatment adherence and no other weight-loss medication in the preceding year as disclosed in the offer. Weight verification is required; approved refunds cover up to four months of fees actually paid and are processed within 30 days after verification
  • The historical Ozempic and Zepbound pages showed $1,119 in the hero and $1,199 in a pricing card, alongside an internally inconsistent plan footnote. Neither that footnote nor the conflicting prices establishes a valid dose or total bill. Obtain the exact medication, dose, term and upfront charge before paying

  • Tirzepatide injection (compounded)

Insurance
No insurance support listed
Consultation
Included; a short online evaluation then clinician review, which the site describes as approval 'in no time' (verified 2026-09-03). Wellorithm separately states that online approval typically completes within 24 hours
Shipping
Included; the program page advertises 'Free, expedited delivery' and '$147 + Fast, Free Shipping' (verified 2026-09-03). Wellorithm separately states that most orders ship two-day air
States
All 50 states plus DC; no service outside the United States. The pricing page, FAQ, program page and Terms all say 50 states plus DC (checked 2026-10-16)
Cancellation
The October 30 terms, checked November 4, 2026, allow renewal cancellation through your account or contact@wellorithm.com, with confirmation of the effective date. Request compounded GLP-1 cancellation at least 48 hours before the disclosed renewal charge; later legal rights and any charge or unfulfilled order that can still be stopped remain protected. If no prescription follows the initial evaluation, the medication amount is not charged or is refunded; only a separately itemized and disclosed before payment, earned for a completed evaluation and lawfully chargeable consultation fee may be retained. You may request order cancellation before dispensing or irreversible fulfillment. Cancellation does not itself refund a properly charged current term or create a prorated refund; eligibility, guarantee, billing-error and legal remedies remain. Specific accepted order terms control commercial conflicts. The weight-loss guarantee applies only if expressly included in your accepted offer and all eligibility conditions are met

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.
