Direct Meds

+Integrated pharmacy for fast fulfillment

+Competitive GLP-1 pricing

−GLP-1 tiers carry a three-month billing commitment while the same pages display a Cancel Anytime badge

−Marketing site publishes only two of sixteen-plus prices, one of them only inside invisible schema markup; the real prices sit on a storefront the marketing pages never link to
