4. Check these before you pay

1. The price after month one. Intro prices often double in month two.
2. Membership fees. Some providers bill a monthly membership on top of medication — see who doesn't.
3. Price at higher doses. Some charge more as your dose goes up; others lock one price.
4. How to cancel and the refund policy. Many multi-month plans are non-refundable.
5. Billing cycle. Some bill every 28 or 21 days, which means 13+ charges a year.
6. Your state. Not every provider serves every state, and some states require a video visit — check yours.
7. The pharmacy. Ask which licensed pharmacy fills your prescription and look it up with your state board of pharmacy.

5. Red flags

• "FDA-approved pharmacy" — the FDA doesn't approve pharmacies.
• Calling a compounded drug "generic" or "the same as brand-name semaglutide."
• "Research-grade" peptides sold without a prescription.
• No clear cancellation process or a support team you can't reach.
