Your reason
Which Henry Meds alternative fits your reason for leaving?
Start with why you’re leaving. Each row shows what Henry Meds offers today and the programs in this guide that fit, from each company’s own site.
| Your reason | Henry Meds today | Where to look |
|---|---|---|
| You want tirzepatide shots | Tirzepatide only as daily dissolving tablets: $1,047 for a 3-month supply, or $891 paid in full. | All 15 other compounded programs here list compounded tirzepatide, month to month from $126 a month at Mondae to $399 every 4 weeks at Remedy Meds. |
| $297 a month for semaglutide is too much | Semaglutide shots are $297 a month, month to month. | 14 of the 15 list a lower month-to-month price, starting at $87 a month at Mondae. Four add a monthly membership: Alloy, Ivím Health, Mochi Health and Shapely. |
| You don’t want to prepay for a lower rate | The lowest rates need payment in full: $2,364 for a year of semaglutide shots, about $197 a month. | Eight list a month-to-month semaglutide price under $197: Alloy, Cora, Ivím Health, Mochi Health, Mondae, NexLife (publisher of this guide), Ondra Health and Rx.com. |
| You want FDA-approved, brand-name medicine | Compounded | LillyDirect sells Zepbound and the Foundayo pill; NovoCare Pharmacy sells the Wegovy pill and pen. See the brand-name prices. |
| You want insurance or Medicare to help | Self-pay only: no insurance, Medicare or Medicaid. HSA and FSA use isn’t guaranteed, its terms say. | With Medicare Part D, Wegovy’s page lists $50 a month for eligible members through December 31, 2027. NexLife (publisher of this guide) takes HSA and FSA cards, and people with Medicare can pay for themselves. |
| You want to know which pharmacy fills it | Licensed U.S. compounding pharmacies, 503A or 503B, not named on the pages we read. | NexLife (publisher of this guide) names its two: Absolute Pharmacy (Lutz, FL) and Boudreaux’s New Drug Store (Lake Charles, LA). Ondra Health names the pharmacies behind its plans. Here’s how to check a compounding pharmacy. |
| You want to leave without owing a balance | On a multi-month plan, you may have to pay the rest of the balance unless a provider finds you can’t continue for medical reasons. | Fifty 410 sells 4- and 8-week programs with no subscription. Ivím Health says you can’t cancel once a program starts. Remedy Meds sells 4-week supplies with “no commitment.” Rx.com doesn’t auto-renew. |

All in, from each company’s own site, checked November 1, 2026. Listed by month-to-month semaglutide price, lowest first; ties A to Z. Membership programs: lowest listed medication price plus the membership. Henry Meds’ and Mochi Health’s plan rates are our math. The medicines are compounded, not FDA-approved.

Month two is the real price. Noom charges $129 for the first 4 weeks of semaglutide, then $279 a month. Remedy Meds charges $179 for the first 4 weeks, then $299 every 4 weeks.
Four weeks isn’t a month. Fifty 410 and Remedy Meds price by the 4 weeks, so a year holds 13 fills, not 12.

Switching
How do you switch from Henry Meds without a gap?
Plan around two Henry Meds dates, your next renewal and your next shipment. Then let your new provider set the dose.
Find your renewal date
Henry Meds renews plans automatically unless you cancel at least 48 hours before the end of your term. Cancel in the patient portal, at ask@henrymeds.com or at 909-787-2342.
Check what’s left on a long plan
On a 6- or 12-month plan, you may have to pay the rest of the balance unless a provider finds you can’t continue for medical reasons. The end of your term is the simplest time to switch.
Write down your medicine and dose
Note the medicine, your weekly dose in mg, your vial’s strength in mg per mL and the date of your last dose. A photo of the label helps.
Start before your supply runs out
Henry Meds ships injectables every 45 days. Start the new program while you still have doses left, so your first order arrives in time.
Let your new provider set the dose
A licensed provider reviews your history and current dose, then decides whether to continue it, adjust it or restart lower, for example after missed doses. One
GLP-1 at a time: your provider tells you when to take the first dose of the new one.Check the units on a new vial
Compounded vials come in different strengths, so the units you drew before may not match. Your dose in mg is what carries over: follow the new label.
Six steps, from your renewal date to the units on a new vial.

In their words
Switching from Henry Meds: what do the FDA and the label say?
Three points from this page in the FDA’s and the label’s own words: pharmacy types, vial strengths and one GLP-1 at a time.
Henry Meds’ pages describe licensed U.S. compounding pharmacies, 503A or 503B, without naming them; the FDA explains one way the two kinds differ.
“Drugs compounded in outsourcing facilities are subject to current good manufacturing practice (CGMP) requirements. By contrast, drugs compounded by a licensed pharmacist in a state-licensed pharmacy or federal facility, or by a physician, in accordance with the conditions of section 503A of the FD&C Act, are not.”
U.S. Food and Drug Administration, Compounding and the FDA: Questions and Answers
A new program can mean a new pharmacy and a new vial strength, which is why the switching steps above say to check your units.
“Product concentrations also may vary depending on the compounder, and a single compounder may offer multiple concentrations of compounded semaglutide products.”
U.S. Food and Drug Administration, FDA alerts health care providers, compounders and patients of dosing errors associated with compounded injectable semaglutide products
Moving from Henry Meds’ semaglutide to tirzepatide is a new prescription, and your provider tells you when to take the first dose; the Zepbound label explains why.
“ZEPBOUND contains tirzepatide. Coadministration with other tirzepatide-containing products or with any glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist is not recommended.”
Eli Lilly and Company, Zepbound (tirzepatide) prescribing information, section 1
Vial math
How many units is your tirzepatide or semaglutide dose?
On a compounded vial, the units depend on its strength. Here are the label doses at example strengths, with the math to check your own.
Tirzepatide
| Dose | mL at 25 mg/mL | Units (U-100) | On the label |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2.5 mg | 0.1 mL | 10 units | Starting dose, for 4 weeks |
| 5 mg | 0.2 mL | 20 units | A maintenance dose |
| 7.5 mg | 0.3 mL | 30 units | A step up |
| 10 mg | 0.4 mL | 40 units | A maintenance dose |
| 12.5 mg | 0.5 mL | 50 units | A step up |
| 15 mg | 0.6 mL | 60 units | The maximum, and a maintenance dose |
The math: mL = dose ÷ strength (mg per mL), and units = mL × 100. At 25 mg/mL, 10 mg is 10 ÷ 25 = 0.4 mL, or 40 units.
Semaglutide
| Weeks | Weekly dose | At 2.5 mg/mL | At 5 mg/mL |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 to 4 | 0.25 mg | 0.1 mL (10 units) | 0.05 mL (5 units) |
| 5 to 8 | 0.5 mg | 0.2 mL (20 units) | 0.1 mL (10 units) |
| 9 to 12 | 1 mg | 0.4 mL (40 units) | 0.2 mL (20 units) |
| 13 to 16 | 1.7 mg | 0.68 mL (68 units) | 0.34 mL (34 units) |
| 17 onward | 2.4 mg | 0.96 mL (96 units) | 0.48 mL (48 units) |
The math: mL = dose ÷ strength (mg per mL); units = mL × 100. At 2.5 mg/mL, 1 mg is 1 ÷ 2.5 = 0.4 mL, or 40 units. At 5 mg/mL, the same 1 mg is 0.2 mL, or 20 units.
25 mg per mL is an example only: it’s the strength of the 15 mg multi-dose vial on Zepbound’s label (15 mg per 0.6 mL). Read the strength on your own vial’s label; your provider sets your dose, in steps at least 4 weeks apart. Every step: the tirzepatide dosage chart. Both strengths are examples only. The same dose is a different number of units at a different strength, so read the strength on your own vial’s label. Your prescription sets your dose and schedule, which may differ from these label steps. Every step: the semaglutide dosage chart.

Henry Meds alternatives: your questions

What are the alternatives to Henry Meds?
Fifteen other online programs here offer compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide; 14 list a lower month-to-month semaglutide price than Henry Meds’ $297 (checked November 1, 2026). Brand-name Zepbound, Foundayo and Wegovy are sold self-pay through LillyDirect and NovoCare Pharmacy. At NexLife, compounded tirzepatide is $139 a month on the 12-month plan or $169 month to month.
Is there a more affordable alternative to Henry Meds?
Yes, for compounded semaglutide: 14 of the 15 other programs here list a lower month-to-month price than Henry Meds’ $297, starting at $87 a month at Mondae (checked November 1, 2026). NexLife is one of the most affordable: semaglutide is $119 a month on the 12-month plan or $139 month to month, at every dose.
Does Henry Meds offer tirzepatide shots?
No. Henry Meds’ programs page lists tirzepatide only as daily dissolving tablets: $1,047 for a 3-month supply, or $891 paid in full (checked November 1, 2026). All 15 other compounded programs in this guide list compounded tirzepatide. At NexLife, it’s $139 a month on the 12-month plan or $169 month to month.
How do I cancel Henry Meds?
Cancel in your patient portal, at ask@henrymeds.com or at 909-787-2342, at least 48 hours before your plan renews (checked November 1, 2026). Its terms say canceling online takes two clicks, and your plan stays active until the end of the period you’ve paid for. A 6- or 12-month plan may leave a balance.
Can I switch from Henry Meds and keep my dose?
Your new provider decides. A licensed provider reviews your health history, your current dose and the date of your last dose, then continues it, adjusts it or restarts you lower. Bring the medicine’s name, your weekly dose in mg and your vial’s strength; a photo of the label helps.
Are compounded GLP-1 medicines FDA-approved?
No. In the FDA’s words: “Compounded drugs are not FDA-approved. This means that FDA does not verify the safety, effectiveness or quality of compounded drugs before they are marketed.” That applies to every compounded program in this guide, Henry Meds and NexLife included. Zepbound, Foundayo and Wegovy are FDA-approved.
Do any Henry Meds alternatives take insurance?
Brand-name medicines can be covered, depending on your plan. Henry Meds is self-pay only, its terms say, and HSA or FSA use isn’t guaranteed (checked November 1, 2026). Wegovy’s page lists $50 a month for eligible Medicare Part D members through December 31, 2027. NexLife takes HSA and FSA cards and provides a letter of medical necessity.
Are Henry Meds alternatives available in my state?
It depends on the program: Alloy, Noom and Rx.com don’t serve Louisiana or Mississippi, and Shapely serves only California, Florida, New York and Texas (checked November 1, 2026). Henry Meds doesn’t list its states on the pages we read. NexLife is available only in states where its affiliated providers are licensed.
Which Henry Meds alternatives have no subscription or auto-renewal?
Rx.com doesn’t auto-renew. Fifty 410 sells 4- and 8-week programs with no subscription, and Remedy Meds sells 4-week supplies with “no commitment.” Ivím Health, by contrast, says you can’t cancel once a program starts (pages checked November 1, 2026).
Which Henry Meds alternatives name their pharmacy?
Henry Meds’ pages describe licensed U.S. compounding pharmacies, 503A or 503B, without naming them. Among the alternatives here, NexLife names its two, Absolute Pharmacy (Lutz, FL) and Boudreaux’s New Drug Store (Lake Charles, LA), and Ondra Health names the pharmacies behind its plans.
Is brand-name Zepbound or Wegovy cheaper than Henry Meds?
At the starting dose, it can cost about the same or less: Zepbound at 2.5 mg is $299 a month at LillyDirect and the Wegovy pill at 1.5 mg is $149 at NovoCare Pharmacy, against Henry Meds’ $297 for compounded semaglutide shots. Both rise with the dose. Zepbound and Wegovy are FDA-approved; compounded medicines aren’t.
Important safety information
Compounded tirzepatide and semaglutide are not FDA-approved, and the FDA hasn’t reviewed them for safety, effectiveness or quality. A provider prescribes them only when they offer a significant difference for you compared with an FDA-approved product. Both medicines may cause thyroid tumors, including cancer: don’t use either if you or a family member has had medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) or multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2).
Read the full safety information
In studies with rodents, both medicines caused thyroid tumors; it isn’t known whether they cause them in people. Tell your provider if you notice a lump or swelling in your neck, hoarseness, trouble swallowing or shortness of breath. Serious side effects can include inflammation of the pancreas (pancreatitis), gallbladder problems, low blood sugar (especially with insulin or sulfonylureas), kidney problems from dehydration, severe stomach problems, serious allergic reactions, vision changes in people with type 2 diabetes, and a faster heart rate. Tell your care team before any surgery or procedure that uses anesthesia or deep sedation. Don’t combine either medicine with other
Tirzepatide can make birth control pills less effective: switch to a non-oral method, or add a barrier method such as condoms, for 4 weeks after you start and for 4 weeks after each dose increase. Both medicines may harm an unborn baby. Semaglutide should be stopped at least 2 months before a planned pregnancy. Tell your provider right away if you’re pregnant, planning to be, or breastfeeding.
This is a summary, not the complete safety information. Read the full Prescribing Information for FDA-approved tirzepatide (Zepbound) and semaglutide (Wegovy), and talk with your provider. You can report side effects to the FDA at
