Andrew Meds review
The whole price ladder is on the page before you enter anything, which almost nothing else here does: compounded semaglutide at $199 a month, $549 for three months, $999 for six and $1,788 for twelve, and tirzepatide at $299, $797, $1,494 and $2,748. Read the long plans as what they are. Each is a single upfront charge rather than a smaller monthly bill, so the advertised $149 semaglutide means paying a full year before the first box ships. Disclosure is better than average in the places that matter: Andrew Meds LLC is named with a Houston address, and the practice that actually writes the prescription is named separately as Dr Tel X, with its own address in Kennewick, Washington. Coverage is all fifty states and the District of Columbia, listed out rather than claimed as a number. It also sells an oral tirzepatide. The gaps are the compounding pharmacy, which is never named, and the refund policy, which returns nothing on a period you have partly used.

How we scored Andrew Meds
Every factor comes from Andrew Meds's own published pricing, disclosures and oversight, and the six combine into the 44/100 Metabolic-Fit Score by the same weighted six-factor framework we apply to every provider — never nudged by whether a provider pays us.
No postpartum or breastfeeding framing — a generic weight program.
Thin on the hormonal picture that drives many mothers' weight.
Oversight and lab support fall short of the top of this roster — the review below says exactly where.
Fair pricing once you read past any teaser or plan structure.
Support is thin once the prescription ships.
Exit terms are the weak point: lock-in, notice periods, or a cancellation you have to chase.

One of the few sellers here that shows you the whole ladder before asking for anything: $199 a month for semaglutide and $299 for tirzepatide, falling to $149 and $229 if you buy a year. Read the long plans carefully, because each is a single upfront charge rather than a smaller monthly bill — $149 semaglutide means paying $1,788 before the first box ships. It names its operating company in Houston and, unusually, names the separate medical practice that actually prescribes, Dr Tel X in Kennewick, Washington. Coverage is all fifty states and DC, listed out. The compounding pharmacy is never named, and there are no refunds on a period you have partly used.

What we like
- The complete price ladder for both molecules is published before any intake
- Names the separate medical practice that prescribes, with its own address and phone number
- All fifty states and DC enumerated rather than asserted as a count
- Offers an oral tirzepatide alongside the injections
- Prices are flat as the dose titrates, so the bill does not climb with the dose
The caveats
- Every multi-month price is one upfront charge, not a lower monthly bill — $149 means $1,788 at once
- The compounding pharmacy is never named; the terms say only "contracted pharmacies"
- No refunds for partially used subscription periods, and refunds are at the company's discretion
- Cancellation needs at least two days' notice, and the first renewal may be charged early
- Compounded only — no FDA-approved Wegovy, Ozempic, Zepbound or Mounjaro
- Nothing on the site addresses pregnancy, breastfeeding or postpartum timing
Andrew Meds for mothers: our verdict
The whole price ladder is on the page before you enter anything, which almost nothing else here does: compounded semaglutide at $199 a month, $549 for three months, $999 for six and $1,788 for twelve, and tirzepatide at $299, $797, $1,494 and $2,748. Read the long plans as what they are. Each is a single upfront charge rather than a smaller monthly bill, so the advertised $149 semaglutide means paying a full year before the first box ships. Disclosure is better than average in the places that matter: Andrew Meds LLC is named with a Houston address, and the practice that actually writes the prescription is named separately as Dr Tel X, with its own address in Kennewick, Washington. Coverage is all fifty states and the District of Columbia, listed out rather than claimed as a number. It also sells an oral tirzepatide. The gaps are the compounding pharmacy, which is never named, and the refund policy, which returns nothing on a period you have partly used. It runs about $199/month, flat across every dose.
We weigh Andrew Meds the way mothers actually have to: not just the monthly cost, but postpartum and breastfeeding timing and PCOS and insulin resistance — the parts a general weight-loss roundup leaves out.
What Andrew Meds costs, in full
- Compounded semaglutide — Month-to-month: $199/mo
- Compounded semaglutide — 3-month plan, one charge of $549: $183/mo
- Compounded semaglutide — 6-month plan, one charge of $999: $167/mo
- Compounded semaglutide — 12-month plan, one charge of $1,788: $149/mo
- Compounded tirzepatide — Month-to-month: $299/mo
- Compounded tirzepatide — 3-month plan, one charge of $797: $266/mo
That lands within a few dollars of the ~$179/month median across the providers we track, so the monthly cost isn't what should decide this one either way. Weigh it instead on postpartum and breastfeeding timing and PCOS and insulin resistance, and on what the price actually includes — a lower number that leaves out labs, visits or shipping is not the cheaper option.
Andrew Meds says the price covers the provider visit and the medication. That is the comparison that matters at this price: two providers a few dollars apart can differ by a hundred a month once the extras are counted, so line up what each one bundles before you decide.
The medications Andrew Meds prescribes
Andrew Meds prescribes semaglutide and tirzepatide — the two with the largest published weight-loss effects, and carrying both on one account matters when insulin resistance, common with PCOS and after gestational diabetes, makes tirzepatide the better-suited option. These are compounded formulations from a licensed pharmacy — the reason the price stays down — but compounded GLP-1s aren't FDA-approved finished products the way Wegovy and Zepbound are.
A needle-free oral or sublingual option is on the menu, which draws in mothers who've been avoiding injections — just set expectations: oral and buccal delivery of these peptides is far less studied than the injectable versions the trials used.
Where Andrew Meds fits — and where it doesn't — for mothers
A good fit if…
- switching between semaglutide and tirzepatide may become necessary as your body and your hormones change.
- uninterrupted nationwide access matters — a move for family shouldn't interrupt care.
Look elsewhere if…
- you specifically want an FDA-approved brand pen with its own pregnancy and lactation labeling.
- you want frictionless cancellation — read the cancellation and refund terms in the caveats above before you pay.
- you'd rather a prescriber talk through timing around postpartum and breastfeeding timing — that is the ground our #1 pick, CoreAge Rx, is built on.
Oversight, safety, and what we could verify
Everything Andrew Meds states publicly checked out at last review: pricing, pharmacies and clinical network were all verifiable. As with any compounded GLP-1, the most useful thing mothers can do is confirm which licensed pharmacy fills the prescription and what's in the formulation — we explain how we weigh oversight in our scoring methodology.
One line that applies to every provider on this site: no GLP-1 is established as safe in pregnancy or while breastfeeding, and the labels advise against use. This is a review of a commercial program, not a green light — the timing decision belongs to you and your clinician.
The bottom line
Andrew Meds is a reasonable option — weigh it on postpartum and breastfeeding timing and PCOS and insulin resistance against the alternatives below. For most mothers, CoreAge Rx remains the stronger all-round fit — see why it tops our ranking.
The bottom line for mothers
Best for: Someone who wants every tier priced in front of her before she starts, and who will decide deliberately whether a year paid up front is worth $50 a month.
Alternatives to Andrew Meds
Providers we have a referral relationship with, ordered by their Metabolic-Fit Score — highest first. This module leaves out the provider whose page you are reading, so on CoreAge Rx's own review our #1 pick is the one name you will not find here.

- Visit CoreAge Rx92
Metabolic-Fit / 100
CoreAge RxOur #1 pickOne flat price, both molecules on a single chart, and a prescriber who reads your history before writing — the most predictable place for a mother to start and, just as important, to pause.
- Visit Gala Health84
Metabolic-Fit / 100
A flat $179 for either molecule with a genuinely gentle microdosing tier — a reasonable, all-doses-included option if you can live with a yearly plan and a pharmacy it doesn't name.
- Visit Enhance MD81
Metabolic-Fit / 100
One of the more oversight-forward compounded programs here — lab work and a live provider visit bundled into every plan, with a gentle microdosing tier — the catch is that the low '$212' headline you'll see quoted is the 12-month prepay rate, not the $249 you'd pay month to month.

Head-to-head & alternatives
Andrew Meds, answered
- Is Andrew Meds really $149 a month?
- Only if you pay $1,788 for a year up front. Every multi-month plan here is a single charge rather than a lower monthly bill, and the site says so plainly. Month to month, semaglutide is $199 and tirzepatide is $299. Those are the figures to budget against unless you are ready to commit a year's cost before the first shipment arrives.
- Who actually prescribes at Andrew Meds?
- A separate medical practice called Dr Tel X, named in the terms with its own address in Kennewick, Washington and its own phone number and support address. Andrew Meds LLC, in Houston, is the company you buy from. Naming the prescribing practice separately is a fuller disclosure than most sellers on this list offer, and it tells you who holds the clinical relationship.
- What is not disclosed?
- The compounding pharmacy. The terms refer only to contracted pharmacies and never name one, so you cannot check who prepares the medication. There is also no LegitScript certification or other third-party accreditation claimed anywhere on the site.
- What happens if I cancel partway through a plan?
- You do not get that period back. The terms state there are no refunds for partially used subscription periods and that refunds are handled case by case at the company's discretion. Cancellation needs at least two days' notice before your renewal date, and the terms warn that the first renewal may be charged early.
Pricing, states and verification reflect Andrew Meds's public disclosures at last review; the Metabolic-Fit Score is our editorial judgment per the published methodology.
