$348/mo against $399/mo for tirzepatide. Which is worth it, and for whom.
Updated 2026-09-18
How we are paid: one company on this page — Coreage Rx — pays us a commission if you sign up through our link. It does not buy a better score, a higher position, or the removal of a single criticism. Our rating method and full disclosure are both public.
Both sell tirzepatide. Lemonaid Health costs $348 a month and Remedy Meds costs $399, a difference of $51 a month or about $612 a year. The other differences matter more than the money if this is your first course.
Lemonaid Health is established platform with multi-month discounts. Remedy Meds is flat pricing with unlimited clinician access. They are not aimed at the same person, and the cheaper one is not automatically the right answer — particularly if this is your first course and you expect a slow titration.
What this means for your titration. Remedy Meds holds one price at every dose and Lemonaid Health does not — so this gap widens as you titrate toward a therapeutic dose, exactly when you can least afford a surprise.

Which suits you

- Pick Remedy Meds if what it does better matters to you — genuinely flat pricing — the dose can go to the top of the ladder without the bill moving.
- Ask both which pharmacy compounds the medication and whether it is a 503A or 503B facility. Neither publishes it.
