LifeMD vs. Henry Meds

LifeMD and Henry Meds have both launched weight management programs, but they take different approaches. From the medications they offer to how their programs work – including cost and support options – each company has its own way of helping you lose weight. If you’re trying to decide between them, we’re breaking down the key differences so you can see which one best fits your needs.

Weight Loss Medications: LifeMD vs. Henry Meds

LifeMD weight loss injections

LifeMD offers access to GLP-1 medications to help qualifying patients achieve their weight loss goals. Combined with clinical oversight, metabolic testing, and ongoing support from licensed healthcare providers, GLP-1 medications can help patients lose 15-20% of their body weight.

GLP-1s (glucagon-like peptide-1) receptor agonists work by mimicking a natural hormone that helps regulate appetite and blood sugar. This helps you feel fuller for longer, curb cravings, and support steady weight loss. Here are some of the GLP-1s LifeMD offers:

• Ozempic®: Ozempic (semaglutide) is FDA-approved to treat type 2 diabetes, but it can be prescribed off-label to support weight loss. 

• Wegovy®: With the same active ingredient as Ozempic (semaglutide), Wegovy is a  FDA-approved weight loss medication that helps control appetite and support long-term weight management. 

• Mounjaro®: Mounjaro (tirzepatide) is an FDA-approved medication to treat type 2 diabetes, but it can be prescribed off-label to support weight loss when combined with diet and exercise.

• Zepbound®: Zepbound is an FDA-approved weight loss medication that contains tirzepatide to help regulate appetite and support weight management. Zepbound is available in two forms: vials and pens. The Zepbound vial is a single-dose option for self-pay patients without insurance coverage, shipped directly to their door. The Zepbound pen contains the same medication in a prefilled, ready-to-use format. Just like the pricing model, the dosage options differ between the vial and pen, offering flexibility depending on the patient's needs.

• Saxenda®: Saxenda is an FDA-approved weight loss medication that contains liraglutide, a GLP-1 receptor agonist that helps control appetite and support weight management.

Ozempic, Wegovy, and Zepbound are all once-weekly injectable weight loss treatments, while Saxenda is taken daily. These medications are designed for individuals with obesity or those who are overweight with weight-related health conditions. This helps to regulate appetite and support weight loss. While all are effective, the best choice for you may depend on factors like potential side effects, cost, and accessibility.

LifeMD weight loss pills

As part of the LifeMD Weight Management Program, LifeMD offers an all-inclusive Triple Therapy plan. It combines three effective oral medications – metformin, bupropion, and topiramate – to support weight loss through multiple pathways. 

Metformin improves insulin sensitivity and helps regulate blood sugar, which may reduce fat storage and appetite. 

Bupropion influences neurotransmitters that control cravings, energy levels, and mood, helping people stay motivated and make healthier choices. 

Topiramate further suppresses appetite, enhances satiety, and can even reduce cravings for high-calorie foods. 

Together, these medications create a comprehensive approach designed to support long-term weight management. It should be noted that these medications cannot be prescribed or used in combination with any GLP-1 medications.

Henry Meds’ weight loss medications

Henry Meds offers their customers doctor-trusted weight loss treatment options as well. Henry Meds works exclusively with licensed compounding pharmacies in the United States. Available prescription weight loss weekly/daily injections and daily dissolvable tablets or drops  through Henry Meds as of March of 2025 include:

• Compounded semaglutide: The same active ingredient as brand name medications Ozempic and Wegovy

• Compounded liraglutide: A daily injection with same active ingredient as brand name medication Saxenda

• Compounded oral semaglutide: Option to choose daily tablets or drops with the same active ingredient as brand name medications Ozempic and Wegovy

• Compounded oral tirzepatide: Option to choose daily tablets or drops with the same active ingredient as brand name medication Zepbound

• Compounded tirzepatide: The same active ingredient as brand name medication Zepbound

• Phentermine: Appetite suppression daily tablet that may be used in combination with topiramate

Please note that compounded medications do not undergo pre-market review or an FDA-approval process.

Cost of LifeMD vs. Henry Meds’s Weight Loss Program

The LifeMD GLP-1 program starts as low as $75 per month when you select the annual plan, with the flexibility to cancel anytime. This price includes expert clinician consultations, personalized prescriptions, dedicated coaching, and essential lab work (if you haven't completed the required tests within the last 12 months). The cost of the medication is not included in this price. 

The LifeMD Triple Therapy plan is an all-inclusive price of $129 per month, including care and the cost of medication.

LifeMD’s partners work directly with patients in the Weight Management Program to navigate insurance coverage. LifeMD accepts insurance to cover the cost of care in a growing number of states. Moreover, whether you are a cash-paying or insurance patient of the LifeMD GLP-1 program, your insurance may help cover the cost of medication. LifeMD helps patients determine whether their medication may be covered by checking benefits and assisting with prior authorizations.

As of April 2025, traditional Medicare patients in many states are able to use their Medicare benefits to cover the cost of care with LifeMD. LifeMD is also working to expand access to additional government and private insurance options to cover the cost of care.

Henry Meds’s pricing depends on the treatment option, but starts at $149 a month. The price includes everything you need – from your initial online appointment to your compounded GLP-1 medication.

Henry Meds also notes that prices may vary if you choose to have your prescription filled at a local pharmacy instead of through their network, where patients save over $1,000 per month.
