In one paragraph

The verdict

This is the only seller found so far that publishes the thing this whole site is trying to establish, and it publishes it as a table. Hold the lowest dose and one charge lasts twenty weeks. Hold two and a half times as much and the same charge lasts ten. The money does not change; the time does, in direct proportion to how much drug you take. The higher-dose plan behaves identically, and a further tier buys more time again at the same doses. If you are deliberately holding a small amount, that is the clearest possible answer to what taking less is worth: it is worth double the duration, and the seller has done the arithmetic in advance rather than leaving it to be inferred from a vial size nobody publishes. Two things keep it from being a complete answer. Every period is quoted in weeks, and none of the eight lengths used is a month, so none of these figures can be set against the monthly rates that make up the rest of this market without a conversion the seller has not performed. The seller also does something very few sellers here manage: it names the drug behind each receptor label, describing its GLP-1 program as semaglutide and its GLP-1/GIP program as tirzepatide, with the full week-by-week titration set out for each. Every rung therefore carries a milligram and the molecule it belongs to, which is rarer than either alone.

Who it suits, and who it does not

A good fit if

  • You want to see, in writing, what a lower dose actually buys you in time
  • You want a milligram AND a named molecule on every rung, not one or the other
  • You are content to buy a block up front rather than pay month to month

Look elsewhere if

  • You are comparing monthly rates. Every period here is quoted in weeks
  • You want to pay monthly. Every period here is a prepaid block of weeks
  • You want a calendar month. The twelve-week programs are not three months either

What it actually costs

Price as published

★★★ A published matrix rather than a price: the same charge buys a lower dose for a longer period, stated dose by dose. The lower-dose plan lists 1 mg for 20 weeks, 1.5 mg for 16 weeks, 1.75 mg for 14 weeks, 2 mg for 12 weeks and 2.5 mg for 10 weeks — every one of them $499. The higher-dose plan lists 7.5 mg for 16 weeks, 10 mg for 12 weeks, 12.5 mg for 10 weeks and 15 mg for 8 weeks at $699, with 10 mg for 18 weeks, 12.5 mg for 15 weeks and 15 mg for 12 weeks at $799 · a shorter four-week program including medication is listed at $299 · every period is quoted in WEEKS — eight, ten, twelve, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, eighteen and twenty — and not one of them is a month, so no monthly rate exists here to compare against anything · ★ both molecules ARE named, and the receptor labels map to them explicitly: the three-month GLP-1 program is described as "progressively increasing doses of Semaglutide from 0.5 mg for 3 weeks… ending at 1.7 mg", and the GLP-1/GIP program as "progressively increasing doses of Tirzepatide from 2.5 mg… ending at 7.5 mg" — so a milligram is attached to every rung AND the drug behind it is stated · those titration programs run twelve weeks, which is again not three calendar months · payment plans through a third-party lender are offered

Quotes off the lowest dose

States plainly that its advertised figures are based on the lowest dosage and that higher doses may cost more. On a general ranking that is a warning; for someone staying small it is the one model that bills accordingly.

36 of the 373 programs we track price a small dose this way. ★★★ The only seller here that publishes the site's central relationship AS A TABLE: the same charge buys a lower dose for a longer period, stated dose by dose. Hold the lowest rung and the money lasts twice as long as it does at the highest. That is the clearest possible answer to what taking less is worth, and the seller has done the arithmetic in advance rather than leaving it to be inferred from a vial size nobody publishes. ★★ Every rung carries a milligram AND the molecule behind it: the seller maps its receptor labels to drugs explicitly, describing the GLP-1 program as semaglutide and the GLP-1/GIP program as tirzepatide, with the full week-by-week titration for each. Milligram plus molecule together is rarer than either alone. Every period is quoted in WEEKS and none of the eight lengths used is a month, so nothing here can be set against a monthly rate without a conversion the seller has not performed.

What it does well

  • Publishes a full dose-by-duration table, so what a lower dose buys is explicit.
  • The same charge covers twice the time at the lowest dose as at the highest.
  • Every rung carries a milligram AND names the molecule behind it.

Pharmacy, labs and oversight

Care Clinics does not publicly identify the pharmacy that fills its prescriptions. No bloodwork is required before you start. A clinician review is included in the price.

How the program works

This is the only seller found so far that publishes the thing this whole site is trying to establish, and it publishes it as a table. Hold 1 mg and $499 lasts twenty weeks. Hold 2.5 mg and the same $499 lasts ten. The money does not change; the time does, in direct proportion to how much drug you take. The higher-dose plan behaves identically — $699 covers sixteen weeks at 7.5 mg or eight weeks at 15 mg — and a second tier at $799 buys more time again at the same doses. For a reader deliberately holding a small amount, that is the clearest possible answer to what taking less is worth: it is worth double the duration, and the seller has done the arithmetic in advance rather than leaving it to be inferred from a vial size nobody publishes. Two things keep it from being a complete answer. Every period is quoted in weeks, and none of the eight lengths used is a month, so none of these figures can be set against the monthly rates that make up the rest of this market without a conversion the seller has not performed. The seller also does something very few sellers here manage: it names the drug behind each receptor label, describing its GLP-1 program as semaglutide and its GLP-1/GIP program as tirzepatide, and sets out the full week-by-week titration for each. So every rung carries a milligram AND the molecule it belongs to, which is rarer than either alone.

The honest cons

Every period is in weeks, and none of the eight lengths used is a month.
  • The twelve-week titration programs are not three calendar months either.
  • The blocks are paid up front rather than month to month.

How it compares

Care Clinics is one of 373 low-dose GLP-1 programs we track, and 242 of them publish a monthly rate you can read before signing up. The ranking lists every published price on one screen, ordered with the companies that pay us first — a mechanism we state there, on the page it applies to.

Intentional GLP-1 microdosing is off-label and unproven — no randomized trial has established that a sub-label dose does anything, and any dose belongs with a clinician who knows your history. If you are going to have that conversation, have it with real numbers.
