Willow

A compounded program with separate semaglutide and tirzepatide dissolving tablets, plus a combination tablet. The format choice may suit a reader who wants to discuss needle-free treatment with a clinician; it does not establish equivalence to an approved pill or injection.

  • Compounded Semaglutide (injectable)$299Covers medication, consultations, shipping and dose adjustments. $299/mo holds to 3.5 mg, then $399/mo at 7 mg on the help center pricing article, verified 2026-09-03
  • Compounded Semaglutide (oral tablet, daily)$299Compounded daily dissolving tablet, $299/mo for all listed dosages in Willow's current help center price schedule. This is distinct from the injection's dose ladder and is not FDA-approved Wegovy. Price checked September 26, 2026.
  • Compounded Tirzepatide (injectable)$399Dual-pathway GIP + GLP-1 injectable with the same clinical support. $399/mo through 6.375 mg, then $499/mo at 8.5 and 11 mg, $524/mo at 13.5 mg and $549/mo at 17 mg, verified 2026-09-03

What to watch for with PeterMD and Willow

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)

Cancellation

Willow

  • The reviewed catalogue lists compounded products; a current brand-name Wegovy or Zepbound offer did not appear there
  • Both headline prices are starting prices. Tirzepatide starts at $399/mo against $299 for semaglutide, and on the help center pricing article maintenance tirzepatide injections run $499/mo from 8.5 mg, $524/mo at 13.5 mg and $549/mo at 17 mg (checked 2026-09-03)
Willow's strengths, cautions and terms

Strengths

  • Includes monthly provider check-ins and dose adjustments at no extra cost
  • Compounded daily dissolving tablets for semaglutide and tirzepatide, offering a needle-free format to discuss with the prescriber
  • $299/mo covers compounded semaglutide at the starting doses, injectable or tablet, with monthly provider support and no separate consultation fee
  • A US licensed doctor reviews and confirms the prescription the same day, and two-day shipping is free, both stated on the product pages (verified 2026-09-03)

More to watch for

  • Willow does not bill insurance and says HSA/FSA cards are accepted. Its help center discusses submitting receipts for reimbursement, but its terms and consent say users will not submit insurance claims. Those statements conflict; get written clarification before relying on reimbursement (sources accessed October 8, 2026)
  • The program auto-renews. Its FAQ and policies differ between two business days before processing and two calendar days before processing or shipping. Refunds also depend on whether the prescription has reached the pharmacy. Confirm the applicable deadline and current-order limits in writing (sources accessed October 8, 2026)
Medicines listed
  • Semaglutide (compounded injectable)

Cancellation
Request cancellation through the care team. The FAQ and policies differ between two business days before processing and two calendar days before processing or shipping.

Confirm the applicable cutoff, any charges and refund eligibility in writing before paying (sources accessed October 8, 2026).
