PeterMD review
Peter MD is a men's-health telehealth brand that sells compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide alongside TRT, sermorelin, NAD+, hair loss and ED on one account, and it prices all of it before the intake — but the monthly figures on its marketing pages are rates inside prepaid blocks, and its own shop sells no GLP-1 month at the price it advertises.
PeterMD publishes its price before the medical intake — you can see what it costs without handing over your health history first.
On this page
- Semaglutide
- $105/mo advertised for plain semaglutide injections, but no month costs that in its own shop — every GLP-1 line there is an up-front total: $270 for the subscription (struck from $417), $447 "level 1 paid in full", $512 for "2mo GLP-1" (= $256 a month), $834 for level 2 (compounded injection; $134/mo advertised with MIC/B12, $158.50/mo with phentermine and B12)
- Tirzepatide
- $149 for the first month, then $249/mo billed quarterly (compounded injection, 60 mg — so the smallest purchase after the first month is $747; its shop also lists a "LIMITED TIME OFFER: Tirzepatide" at $250, struck from $447)
- Coverage
- Its own two pages disagree — the tirzepatide page excludes AL and ID, the GLP-1 subscription page excludes AL, AR, CA, HI, ID, MI, NC and TX
- Price visible
- Before intake
The verdict
PeterMD prints its price before the medical intake, which is the entry condition rather than the finish, and gives some of it back on the rest of the question — what the advertised figure is attached to, or who fills the prescription. It lands at 17 of 31.
The number beside PeterMD's name answers one question — can you find out what this costs before you hand over your medical history? — and it is dominated by that. A program is credited for naming the pharmacies that compound its medicine and for a certification whose seal actually resolves, and docked when the advertised rate needs a commitment, when a second fee sits outside it, when the seller's own terms say the published figure is not what it will charge, and when the FDA has a warning letter on file. What the price turns out to be is not an input at all, which is why a cheaper program can sit below a dearer one here.
Who it is for, and who it is not
A good fit if
You want to compare before you hand anything over
PeterMD publishes what it charges before the medical intake, so you can weigh it against anything else on this page without first giving a company your health history.
You want to know who makes the medicine
It names Absolute Pharmacy, Partell Pharmacy publicly. A compounded medicine is only as good as the pharmacy that made it, and a company willing to name one is a company you can go and check.
What it actually costs
Both figures below are reproduced exactly as we recorded them, with every condition attached. They are long on purpose: a monthly rate quoted without the term that buys it, the cadence it is billed on, or the dose it applies to is the single most common way a price on a page like this turns out to be untrue.

PeterMD pays us a commission if you start care through this link — as does every company with a review here, which is what decides who gets one, so this is not a survey of the market. See our disclosure, and weigh the trade-offs above against the evidence rather than taking our word for it. PeterMD sells a prescription medicine, not a probiotic; this site's ranked shelf is the metabolic probiotic ranking, and a supplement is a different decision from a drug.
The pharmacy behind the medicine
It names its pharmacy. PeterMD discloses Absolute Pharmacy, Partell Pharmacy as its compounding partners. That matters more here than the price does: a compounded medicine is only as good as the pharmacy that made it, and a company willing to name one is a company you can go and check.
A compounded drug is mixed to order by a pharmacy rather than manufactured and released as a finished product, so the FDA has not reviewed the specific preparation you are prescribed for safety, effectiveness or quality. That is true of every compounded program on this page, including the ones that score highest, and it is the most important sentence on it.
The honest read
What it does well
- Prices are on the product pages themselves, before any questionnaire — three semaglutide packages and a full tirzepatide ladder, with no account and no health history first
- One of the broadest single-account menus here: GLP-1, TRT, sermorelin, NAD+, men's hair loss and ED, so care that overlaps does not mean a second provider
- The semaglutide packages state what is included rather than adding it at checkout — injections, supplies, shipping and physician consults
- It names two dispensing pharmacies, Absolute Pharmacy and Partell Pharmacy, in its terms, which is more than most of this page discloses
What to check first
- The advertised month is not a month you can buy. "$105 per month" appears on its semaglutide page, and its own shop sells GLP-1 only as up-front totals — $270, $447, $512 and $834 — none of which works out to $105 for a single month
- Tirzepatide is billed quarterly in its own words, so after the $149 first month the next decision is $747, not $249
- Its two pages disagree about where it operates: the tirzepatide page excludes two states, the GLP-1 subscription page excludes eight
- Its semaglutide page calls semaglutide and tirzepatide "FDA approved peptides" — true of the branded finished drugs, not of the compounded preparations it dispenses, which its own checkout page correctly says the FDA has not evaluated
- Compounded medications are not FDA-approved finished products
How it compares
PeterMD sits at 17 of 31 on this page. Every prescription GLP-1 program this site links out to is scored on the same question: can you see the price before you hand over your health history? The full list is on the prescription GLP-1 review index.
Because PeterMD prints a figure before the intake rather than after it, it is also a ranked row on our GLP-1 telehealth ranking, our compounded semaglutide ranking and our compounded tirzepatide ranking. Each is this same question narrowed to the programs that answer it, with every figure printed as we recorded it and its conditions attached rather than trimmed to fit a column.
