Price went up $50 this month with no warning - switching vendors — anyone have experience?

Telehealth prescriber review for cost and coverage: I've used 4 different telehealth platforms to get my GLP-1 prescription.

Same experience, arrived at from the opposite direction.

Adding the part of the answer the thread has not reached. The useful checklist is about verifiability rather than presentation. Independent test results commissioned by buyers rather than by the seller, consistency across multiple batches over time rather than one flattering report, a physical address and a company registration that resolve, batch and lot numbers on the actual labelling, and a shipping practice that matches what the material needs. Everything a good-looking website provides is cheap to fake; none of the items above are.

Financial impact of cost and coverage weight loss beyond medication cost:

• Groceries: SAVED $298/month (eating less)
• Restaurants: SAVED $168/month (fewer meals out)
• Alcohol: SAVED $118/month (stopped drinking)
• Life insurance: Premium REDUCED by $48/month (lower BMI)
• Copays: SAVED $78/month (fewer BP/cholesterol meds)

Net impact after medication cost: approximately BREAKING EVEN. The medication pays for itself through reduced food spending and healthcare costs. This surprised me.

Following on from lucas_SP_BR — and this may be the naive question:

What a vetting checklist should actually contain, as opposed to a list of things that are easy to fake?
