Henry Meds: Henry's all-inclusive semaglutide runs $297/month ($247 on 6-month and $197 on 12-month prepaid bundles) and tirzepatide $349/month; a separately marketed 'as low as $149' microdose floor is a different program.

What our desk is watching on each
Henry Meds: Two independent 2026 captures (RangeYourself Jul 2026, RxPepsDirect May 2026) consistently show $179/mo flat for tirzepatide, replacing our Aug-5 $349 provider-stated figure. Henry's pharmacy partner is not publicly named. Semaglutide plan tiers ($179–$297) remain from our prior captures pending full reconciliation with the updated tirz figure.
LifeMD: Highest all-in compounded tirzepatide in the index; the value case rests on clinical service and insurance help, not price.
Questions people ask
Is Henry Meds or LifeMD cheaper in 2026?
The tirzepatide and semaglutide verdict blocks above give the computed answer at the maintenance basis, with the verification status of each figure; the short version is that whichever program's all-in monthly number is lower on this page is cheaper on the evidence we hold today, and both rows carry capture dates so you can judge freshness.
What does Henry Meds vs LifeMD miss that checkout will show?
Taxes, state availability, current promotions, and any dose surcharge introduced after our capture date. Screenshot the order summary before paying — that capture, not any comparison page, is your contract.
Why do you compare at the maintenance dose instead of the starting dose?
Because starter pricing lasts one or two months and maintenance pricing lasts the rest of the year; comparing starts against maintenances is the single most common way GLP-1 comparisons mislead.
What do Henry Meds and LifeMD cost over a full year of tirzepatide?
On the plans our database holds, a year of tirzepatide runs $2,148 at Henry Meds and $7,164 at LifeMD — computed from each program's best published twelve-month route, with promotional figures labeled in the sections above and every number carrying its capture date.
