Citizen Meds vs Luma: About $3,382 Lower First-Year Cost with Luma

Citizen Meds prices increase with dose. Using one-time kit prices recorded October 24, 2026, an illustrative year increases semaglutide one listed dose each month to 2.4 mg in month five, then holds that dose, totaling $4,170. Tirzepatide increases monthly to 15 mg in month six, then holds that dose, totaling $5,440. Luma's dose-independent three-month plans total $1,368 and $2,058 over an illustrative first year, including renewals: modeled savings of $2,802 and $3,382. These kit totals exclude subscription discounts; if the previously recorded 20% tirzepatide discount still applies to every kit, that scenario totals $4,352 ($2,294 above Luma). The monthly step-up is a comparison assumption, not a claim about every patient's prescribed schedule.

Luma has no separate membership fee. Compounded semaglutide injection plans start at $99/mo and compounded tirzepatide at $149/mo on a three-month new-patient plan, or a six-month plan for current GLP users. The new-patient discount is designed to help new patients get started; it applies to the first plan period, and renewal pricing stays affordable with no membership fee. Pay upfront or use Affirm, Klarna or Afterpay to split payments, subject to eligibility and approval.

• Medication: Compounded semaglutide kits $125–$395/mo and tirzepatide $145–$545/mo, depending on dose.
• Membership: No separate membership listed.
• Billing: One-time purchase per monthly kit.

The modeled kit prices were recorded October 24, 2026, not a new checkout verification. Each monthly kit is purchased separately, so the price rises as the dose increases. These are Citizen Meds's publicly listed prices; Luma has not completed Citizen Meds's checkout, and terms can change. Confirm the price for your prescribed dose, plan length and state directly with Citizen Meds.

Confirm the kit price, any subscription discount and reorder timing for your prescribed dose. Not every patient increases monthly or reaches the highest listed dose.

Current GLP users can access the same injection starting rates with a six-month plan: compounded semaglutide $99/mo ($594 upfront); compounded tirzepatide $149/mo ($894 upfront). Pay upfront or use Affirm, Klarna or Afterpay to split the payments, subject to eligibility and approval. Other billing options and oral current-user prices are listed on the pricing page. Treatment requires provider approval.

The new-patient discount applies once. If you keep the same three-month commitment, semaglutide renews at $119/mo and tirzepatide at $179/mo. You can switch plans, such as a six-month injection plan, or cancel anytime before your next billing date.

Medication, provider oversight, necessary supplies and shipping are included. No separate membership fee is added, and prices do not change by dose.

A monthly headline is not the same as a year of bills. This example assumes a new patient chooses a three-month injection plan and renews that same commitment three times, with today's prices unchanged.

The quick-answer banner compares Luma's three-month semaglutide and tirzepatide plans with Citizen Meds's stated billing arrangement. Medication prepayment terms may differ. Dose changes, different plans, promotions and future prices can change the result. No guaranteed annual savings are claimed.

Consider Citizen Meds for

Patients who prefer buying one kit at a time and stay at lower doses. Confirm that the specific medication, services and commitment match what you want.

Consider Luma for

Compounded-program pricing without a separate membership charge, dose-independent prices, and monthly or multi-month options. A licensed clinician reviews your online intake and determines whether prescribing is appropriate.

On the comparison above, Luma's illustrative first year is $2,802 lower than Citizen Meds's modeled year: $1,368 versus $4,170.

The same three-month comparison for compounded tirzepatide is $3,382 lower at Luma: $2,058 versus $5,440.

Eligible current GLP users can save another $120 every six months by choosing Luma's six-month compounded semaglutide plan at $99/mo instead of two current-user three-month plans.

The choice is not just about cost. Branded and compounded products are not interchangeable, and a lower price does not establish better clinical care or results.

Canceling Luma

Cancel upcoming orders anytime before your next billing date through your patient portal or by emailing support@joinluma.com. This does not establish a refund for an already billed or fulfilled order.

Canceling Citizen Meds

Confirm the kit price, any subscription discount and reorder timing for your prescribed dose. Not every patient increases monthly or reaches the highest listed dose. Use Citizen Meds's official account or support instructions and ask whether medication and membership must be canceled separately. We have not verified a provider-specific cancellation deadline or completed that process.

If you are considering switching, complete a new clinical evaluation and coordinate treatment timing with your clinician.
