What to watch for with Gala and PeterMD

Gala

  • Brand-name Ozempic here is $1,299/mo, materially above NovoCare's Wegovy pen $199/mo for the first two 0.25 mg or 0.5 mg fills through December 31, 2026, then $349/mo at standard strengths or $399/mo for Wegovy HD; oral pill from $149/mo, dose-dependent. Buy brand-name elsewhere; Gala's value is its compounded GLP-1 line.
  • Plan prices differ by landing page: the microdose offer lists $149/mo for 3 months, the all-doses page $179/mo yearly, and the main site 3-month GLP-1 from $199/mo. Confirm the checkout total
Gala's strengths, cautions and terms

Strengths

  • Gala's current microdose offer lists $149/mo on a 3-month plan; its all-doses GLP-1 page lists $179/mo yearly, while its main site lists 3-month standard GLP-1 from $199/mo
  • A free Gala GLP-1 app for in-treatment logging, promoted in the footer of every page; first-party logging is uncommon among compounded-only platforms
  • The site names OpenLoop-affiliated medical groups. Its displayed LegitScript badge was not independently confirmed with the issuer in the October 8, 2026 check
  • All 50 states, free shipping, no insurance required, 24/7 patient support claimed

More to watch for

  • Mixed Trustpilot reviews mention dosing inconsistencies and slow customer service responsiveness, verify your specific dose and batch with each refill
  • Visit mode can be synchronous or asynchronous depending on patient, state and medication; no default video path was established in the October 8, 2026 review. Ask whether a GLP-1 lab panel, a named medical director and scheduled follow-ups come with the plan; the refund policy mentions possible lab services
  • Restrictive refund policy, Gala's published terms state 'IN NO EVENT SHALL YOU BE ISSUED A REFUND UPON CANCELLATION OF THE SUBSCRIPTION SERVICES' with a narrow exception for provider-initiated medical disqualification. No money-back guarantee. Read the published policy at galaglp1.com/refund-policy before enrolling on a commitment plan
  • Newer brand under AI Coaching, Inc. (founded 2024 per LinkedIn), limited public company history; founders, founding year, and named medical director not publicly disclosed on galaglp1.com itself
Medicines listed
  • Tirzepatide microdose (compounded)
  • Compounded GLP-1, semaglutide or tirzepatide, all doses included
  • Semaglutide brand-name (Ozempic, premium-priced)
  • Wegovy oral pill (announced as 'coming soon' on Gala's site, not yet live)

Cancellation
Submit cancellation at least 72 hours before renewal. Ordinary cancellation stops future billing; paid terms are normally non-refundable. The refund policy permits an unused-services refund, after deducting services already provided, when Gala's provider determines medical disqualification. Confirm the applicable plan terms (policy reviewed October 8, 2026).

PeterMD

  • The excluded states differ by page: the GLP1 plus B12 program lists AL, ID, AK and HI, the tirzepatide page lists only AL and ID, and the intake form asks about Alabama, Arkansas, Idaho and Hawaii. Confirm your own state during signup before planning around PeterMD.
  • BBB opened PeterMD's file on July 28, 2026 and lists 22 complaints in the last three years, 12 of them in the last 12 months (checked October 16, 2026). Read them before you pay; a BBB grade measures complaint handling, not the quality of medical care.
PeterMD's strengths, cautions and terms

Strengths

  • The tirzepatide plus B12 program is one price for any dose, $209/mo, and the page says it does not go up as you titrate
  • B12 is listed as an added ingredient in the GLP1 + B12 program
  • Video consultations with physicians included, real face-to-face medical oversight

More to watch for

  • PeterMD began as a testosterone replacement therapy platform; GLP-1 is an expansion, not the original core. The included video consultations give you a direct read on the clinical team.
Medicines listed
  • Semaglutide + B12 (compounded, sold as the GLP1 + B12 program)
  • Tirzepatide + B12 (compounded)
