Remedy Meds vs Willow

Remedy Meds and Willow are two online GLP-1 providers that are very similar and extremely popular. Both offer straightforward month-to-month plans, and the pricing is almost identical. For this comparison, I’ll focus on a few key differences that could help you decide which one is your best fit.

Key Differences Between Remedy Meds and Willow

Over the years, both Willow and Remedy Meds have been serving patients who are looking for access to compounded GLP-1 medications without committing to a long-term bundle. But there are a few important differences that I found, and I believe it can be very helpful for anyone deciding between the two.

State Coverage

Remedy Meds operates in all 50 U.S. states and Washington D.C., while Willow only operates in 36 U.S. states.

Use our comparison tool, click on “My State” to check the coverage, and then add Remedy Meds and Willow to the comparison - you’ll see if Willow offers their services where you live.

State coverage is very important because you don’t want to waste your time researching and then find out the provider can’t cover you. Always make sure the provider can prescribe and deliver compounded GLP-1s where you live.

First Month Discount

Remedy Meds continues to offer $120 off your first month, making it an affordable option to get started. However, they don’t offer it to everyone. You’ll need a unique link, which glp compared has (click any of our buttons that say “visit Remedy Meds”, and you’ll see the $120 off on their website).

Since Willow has been around, the only initial discount they’ve offered is if you’re a customer of their sister company, Winona, which is a menopause HRT online provider. But if you’re not a Winona customer, you’ll pay full price from the time you start, until the time you finish.

For patients looking to score a first-month deal, Remedy Meds offers a generous one ($120 off), while Willow does not.

Microdosing

Remedy Meds offers microdosing - both compounded semaglutide and compounded tirzepatide. They have a month-to-month plan, and it’s very affordable. The prescribing clinician will determine the exact microdose and your dosing schedule, if you’re approved.

Willow doesn’t offer microdosing at this time, so if microdosing is something you have your sights set on, Remedy Meds could be the better fit.

Microdosing is not an FDA-approved dosing schedule. And, despite what marketers and influencers are saying about microdosing and weight loss, most doctors will only prescribe it as a weight maintenance plan.

Oral GLP-1

Willow offers compounded semaglutide oral dissolvable tablets (ODT) that are taken once daily, which is a different dosing schedule than injectables - those are traditionally once monthly.

Compounded semaglutide ODT can be a better fit for people who aren’t comfortable with injections. When comparing Willow and Remedy Meds for oral GLP-1s, Willow offers it, Remedy Meds does not.

Branding and Positioning

Remedy Meds has a broader, more general weight loss feel for both men and women looking for GLP-1 treatment.

Willow, on the other hand, feels more women-focused, although they do serve men, too. Their recent marketing efforts on social media have been targeting menopause and women in general. There’s only a few other providers out there specific for menopause women: two are Gala and Join Josie.

Additionally, Willow has been known for aggressive marketing, and has caught some heat with the FDA after targeting people who only want to lose a few pounds, which is termed “Cosmetic Weight Loss.” This could indicate low BMI approvals from their clinicians. And, to be fair, most GLP-1 providers are leaning this way.

Who each provider serves, in my opinion, can be really important in choosing the right GLP-1 provider.

For men, I’d steer towards Remedy Meds. Women have the luxury of choosing either brand, with the final decision coming down to budget, medication type, and whether you want a women-focused brand (Willow). And, for those who may not qualify due to low BMI, perhaps you can try getting approved with Willow.

Now that you know the key differences, you’ll want to know what they both have to make the best decision for yourself.

Similarities

Remedy Meds and Willow are very similar in many different ways. Let’s take a look at the similarities.

Compounded GLP-1s

The only GLP-1 medications Remedy Meds and Willow offer are compounded. Each provider has multiple pharmacies that operate in different states. The pharmacy that operates where you live is the pharmacy that you’ll most likely get. All pharmacies used by Willow and Remedy Meds are legally compliant to compound the medications.

Compounded GLP-1s are not FDA-approved, and patients should know the risks before starting weight loss therapy.

Pricing

Both Willow and Remedy Meds have the same pricing for both compounded semaglutide and compounded tirzepatide. And, they only offer month-to-month plans.

To me, it’s very straightforward, which helps patients know exactly what to budget for every month. For those looking for cheapest price, you’ll be able to find other GLP-1 providers that offer bulk discounts - Remedy Meds and Willow are premium prices.

Care and Support

If you sign up with either provider, you’ll get an account to login to the patient portal. Inside, patients can message their care team and clinicians any time and any day. Both providers list on their website to allow 24 hours for a response. This can be through text messaging, email, or through the patient portal.

My Unique Experience

Over the years, I have had the opportunity with both Willow and Remedy Meds to test the patient experience. I didn’t order the medication, but I was able to get into the patient portal and initiate dialogue with each care team and clinician.

After going through the process myself, I thought customer service was solid for both Remedy Meds and Willow. I didn’t notice “over-the-moon” service, but it wasn’t shotty either. My honest opinion - GLP-1 customer service sets a low bar in general. And, when you’re signing up with a popular provider like these two, you could feel like you’re just another number at times. But at the end of the day, they do get back to you.

Final Words and My Recommendations

If you are truly set on either Remedy Meds or Willow, I strongly believe you’ll get a similar experience, meaning, you can’t really go wrong with either provider. At glp compared, I always recommend, at the very least, to compare them vs one or two other providers.
