Peter MD offers asynchronous consultations (free). Taurus Meds provides asynchronous consultations. On both, you complete a health questionnaire online that a licensed provider reviews. Turnaround times vary by platform, by state, and by how busy the provider network is, and you can message your provider with follow-up questions through the platform.
Peter MD lists shipping within 3-5 business days with free standard shipping. Taurus Meds lists shipping within 3-5 business days with free standard shipping.

Compounded drugs are not FDA-approved and have not been reviewed by the FDA for safety, effectiveness, or quality. The differences you can actually compare here are price, dosing schedule, available formats, and regulatory status. Which drug and dose fit you is a decision for a licensed provider, who also needs to rule out interactions, nitrate use above all.

This is not the full list for any of them. Both platforms have licensed providers review your medical history and screen for contraindications, and you should read the medication guide and raise anything you notice with your provider.

Regulatory noticeRegulatory note (verified August 22, 2026): The FDA reviewed struthealth.com in December 2025 and, on February 20, 2026, issued Strut Health, LLC a warning letter, MARCS-CMS 721448. It raises two separate problems. Pictured product labels carry the "Strut" name, which the agency said represents Strut as the compounder of the semaglutide and tirzepatide products when it is not. Three site claims are also quoted, among them "Generic Zepbound, Mounjaro" and "Semaglutide is the active ingredient in the brand medications." Because compounded drugs hold no FDA approval, the FDA said wording of that kind implies one, and it cited misbranding under sections 502(a) and 502(bb) of the FD&C Act. FDA’s warning letter index shows no response letter and no close-out letter, so we treat the matter as open. Read the FDA letter
Regulatory noticeRegulatory note (verified August 22, 2026): On September 9, 2025 the FDA sent Hims & Hers Health, Inc. a warning letter covering the Hims brand, MARCS-CMS 716567, drawn from a review of hims.com the previous month. Two lines about compounded semaglutide are quoted in it: "Same active ingredient as Ozempic and Wegovy" and "Clinically proven ingredients." Compounded drug products are not FDA-approved, and the agency said phrasing of this sort suggests otherwise, which is what makes the products misbranded under FD&C Act sections 502(a) and 502(bb). A companion letter went to the same company that day for its Hers brand. No close-out letter appears in FDA’s index; treat this as open. Read the FDA letter
