Citizen Meds review

Full milligram ladder published

The opening kit is $125 for semaglutide and $145 for tirzepatide, and each covers four weekly injections rather than a calendar month.

Our verdict

Citizen Meds prints a milligram strength beside every price, which is rare and genuinely useful. Semaglutide runs from $125 at 0.25 mg to $395 at 2.5 mg, and tirzepatide from $145 at 2.5 mg to $545 at 15 mg. Every patient must start at the month-one dose, so the opening figure is the one price nobody stays on. Each kit holds four weekly injections, a 28-day supply sold as a month, which means 13 fills a year. The subscription is sharper still: it bills every 23 days and steps the dose, and the price with it, automatically unless the buyer emails to stop it.

What it is

A storefront selling compounded weight-loss injections as month-numbered homekits, alongside vitamin injections and sexual-health products. Semaglutide is compounded with B12 and tirzepatide with glycine and B12, both once weekly.

How it works

A medical questionnaire at checkout, then a physician review, with a call within 24 hours only if more information is needed. Orders the physician does not approve are refunded immediately. Kits ship two-day or overnight, with the shipping method chosen and charged at checkout. A BMI of 27 or above is required to order semaglutide.

Pricing transparency

The semaglutide ladder is $125 at 0.25 mg, $245 at 0.5 mg, $295 at 1.0 mg, $345 at 1.7 mg and $395 at 2.5 mg. The tirzepatide ladder is $145 at 2.5 mg, $295 at 5 mg, $345 at 7.5 mg, $395 at 10 mg and $545 at 15 mg. Each price buys four weekly injections, so a 28-day cycle is priced as a month. Thirteen of those a year works out to $135 a month for the semaglutide starter and $157 for the tirzepatide starter. Subscribing swaps the one-time price for $100 every 23 days on semaglutide and $116 on tirzepatide, a shorter cycle and a higher annual cost.

Branded vs compounded

Compounded semaglutide with B12 and compounded tirzepatide with glycine and B12, both once-weekly subcutaneous injections. Compounded drugs are not FDA-approved and are not reviewed by the FDA for safety, efficacy or quality before dispensing. Titration is mandatory rather than optional, and the product pages state that the dose rises through months two, three and four before a maintenance dose settles. The dispensing facility is described only as a compound pharmacy and is never named.

Frequently asked

Is Citizen Meds $125 a month?
$125 buys the month-one semaglutide kit at 0.25 mg, which is four weekly injections. That is a 28-day supply rather than a calendar month, so a buyer injecting weekly needs 13 of them a year, or $135 a month. Titration is mandatory, and the next rung is $245.
What does the full dose ladder cost?
Semaglutide is $125, $245, $295, $345 and $395 across 0.25 mg, 0.5 mg, 1.0 mg, 1.7 mg and 2.5 mg. Tirzepatide is $145, $295, $345, $395 and $545 across 2.5 mg, 5 mg, 7.5 mg, 10 mg and 15 mg. Both ladders sit on the product pages rather than behind an intake.
Does the subscription save money?
Not over a year. The semaglutide subscription is $100 against a $125 one-time price, but it bills every 23 days rather than monthly, which is roughly 16 charges a year. The site also states that subscribers have their dosage increased every month, with pricing rising alongside it, unless they email support to decline.
Who compounds the medication?
Citizen Meds does not say. Its shipping page refers to a compound pharmacy with up to five business days of processing time, without identifying the facility. A named pharmacy can be checked against state licensing and inspection records; an unnamed one cannot be checked at all.
Is Citizen Meds expensive compared with other GLP-1 sellers by price providers?
Citizen Meds publishes a starting figure of $135/mo. Across the 153 GLP-1 sellers by price providers we review that publish a single monthly figure, those run $76 to $369 with a median of $178, which puts Citizen Meds below the median, toward the cheaper end. The other 7 GLP-1 sellers by price providers we review quote only after an intake or price by dose, so they are not in that comparison. A starting figure is not a bill — labs, consultations and shipping are often charged separately, so confirm what your own quote includes.
