Mama-Match
Harper Meds
Rank #267 · Grade C
What we like
- Homepage says consultation, prescription, medication and shipping are included
- Wasef Health and Beluga Health are named as clinical networks
- Homepage describes messaging access and cancellation without a cancellation fee
The caveats
- FDA warning letter #728281, issued June 8, 2026 to Nexus Health Solutions LLC dba Harper Meds, remains part of the published regulatory record; no new closeout determination was made
- A public sales page still calls compounded medication FDA-approved, contradicting the homepage disclaimer
- Homepage starts the program at $149; a separate semaglutide page lists $299 without reconciling the offers
