GLP-1 medications like semaglutide and tirzepatide are expensive because:

  • The active ingredients (APIs) are costly to manufacture

  • Production requires strict sterile conditions

  • Pharmacies must meet FDA compounding standards

  • Providers monitor your health closely

  • Shipping must follow pharmaceutical cold-chain guidelines

Mevo Health negotiates discounted pricing with pharmacies so we can offer:

  • Lower costs

  • Multi-month savings

  • All-inclusive plans

  • No hidden fees

We want your care to be accessible, safe, and predictable.
