How we scored Andrew Meds
Each factor is judged from Andrew Meds's actual pricing, disclosures and support, then combined into the Mama-Match Score of 69/100 using the same weighted six-factor framework we apply to every provider — never influenced by whether a provider pays us.
The start feels transactional — more cash register than welcome.
Fair pricing once you get past any teaser rate or plan structure.
Little public detail about who oversees your care, and how.
Available in all 50 states, so where you live is not a barrier.
Support is thin once the prescription ships.
Canceling carries real friction — commitments, notice windows or non-refundable charges.

One of the very few that shows you the whole ladder before asking for anything: $199 a month for semaglutide, $299 for tirzepatide, down to $149 and $229 if you buy a year. But read the long plans properly, because each is a single charge and not a smaller bill: $149 semaglutide means $1,788 before the first box arrives. It names its company in Houston and, unusually, the separate practice that writes the prescription. Fifty states and DC, enumerated. The pharmacy is never named and a half-used month is not refunded.

What we like
- The complete price ladder for both molecules, published before any intake
- Names the separate practice that prescribes, with its own address and phone
- All fifty states and DC, enumerated rather than asserted as a number
- An oral tirzepatide alongside the injections
The caveats
- Every multi-month price is one upfront charge: $149 means $1,788 at once
- The compounding pharmacy is never named
- No refunds for partially used periods, and refunds are at the company's discretion
- Cancellation needs at least two days' notice, and the first renewal may be charged early
- Nothing about pregnancy, breastfeeding or postpartum timing
Andrew Meds for moms: our verdict
It publishes the whole ladder before intake: $199 and $299 month to month, down to $149 and $229 for a year paid up front. It names who prescribes. It runs about $199/mo, flat across every dose.
We looked at Andrew Meds the way moms actually have to: not just the monthly cost, but the right timing around pregnancy and nursing and honest, clear pricing from the start — the parts a generic weight-loss review skips.
What Andrew Meds actually costs
- Compounded semaglutide — Month to month: $199/mo
- Compounded semaglutide — 3-month plan, a single charge of $549: $183/mo
- Compounded semaglutide — 6-month plan, a single charge of $999: $167/mo
- Compounded semaglutide — 12-month plan, a single charge of $1,788: $149/mo
- Compounded tirzepatide — Month to month: $299/mo
- Compounded tirzepatide — 3-month plan, a single charge of $797: $266/mo
That's roughly in line with our list's median of ~$179/mo.
Andrew Meds prices flat across doses, so it doesn't climb as your dose does — which matters, because most women spend months titrating up.
That price covers the consult and the medication.
The medications Andrew Meds prescribes
Andrew Meds prescribes semaglutide and tirzepatide — the two molecules with the strongest published weight-loss results, and having both on one account matters when insulin resistance (common with PCOS and after gestational diabetes) makes tirzepatide the better fit. These are compounded formulas from a licensed pharmacy — the reason the price stays low — but compounded GLP-1s are not FDA-approved finished products the way Wegovy and Zepbound are.
There's a needle-free oral or sublingual option on the menu, which appeals to moms who have been putting off injections — just set your expectations: oral and buccal delivery of these peptides is far less studied than the injectable versions used in the trials.
Where it operates. Andrew Meds lists its coverage as: All 50 states and DC, listed one by one.
Where Andrew Meds fits — and where it doesn't — for moms
A good fit if…
- you may need to switch between semaglutide and tirzepatide as your body and your hormones change.
- uninterrupted nationwide access matters to you — a move for the family shouldn't interrupt your care.
Look elsewhere if…
- you specifically want an FDA-approved brand-name pen with its own pregnancy and breastfeeding label.
- you want friction-free cancellation — the fine print here is where the complaints cluster.
- you'd rather have a clinician talk the timing through with you, with the right timing around pregnancy and nursing in mind — that's what our #1 pick, CoreAge Rx, is built for.
Trust, safety and oversight
Our confidence is moderate — the core data holds up, but some details (state availability, program mechanics) aren't fully public. As with any compounded GLP-1, the most useful thing moms can do is confirm which licensed pharmacy fills the prescription and what's in the formula — we explain how we score oversight in our scoring methodology.
One line that applies to every provider on this site: no GLP-1 is proven safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding, and the labels advise against use. This is a review of a commercial program, not a green light — the decision about timing is yours and your healthcare provider's.
The bottom line
Andrew Meds is a reasonable option — weigh it on the right timing around pregnancy and nursing and honest, clear pricing from the start against the alternatives below. For most moms, CoreAge Rx is still the best choice overall — see why it tops our ranking.
The bottom line
Best for: Someone who wants every tier priced in front of her before starting and will decide deliberately whether a year up front is worth $50 a month.

Andrew Meds, answered
- Is it really $149 a month?
- Only if you pay $1,788 for a year up front. Every multi-month plan here is one charge rather than a lower monthly bill, and the site says so plainly. Month to month it is $199 for semaglutide and $299 for tirzepatide, and those are the numbers to budget with.
- Who writes the prescription?
- A separate practice called Dr Tel X, named in the terms with its own address in Kennewick, Washington, its own phone number and support address. Andrew Meds LLC, in Houston, is the company you buy from. Naming the prescribing practice separately is more than most bother with.
- What if I need to stop midway?
- 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 renewal, and the terms warn the first renewal may be charged early.
