SHED
Dr. B vs SHED
Dr. B: Not a subscription: a $19 online consultation, then you fill the prescription at your own pharmacy. Compare it on annual cost, not monthly.
SHED: A GLP-1 weight-loss service that added hair treatment in 2025. Four compounded products, men's and women's, each with its price on its own page - unusual for a brand whose main business is somewhere else.

| Billing | One-off consult; 90-day prescriptions | Monthly, with the prices quoted as 'starting at' |
| Cancellation | Nothing to cancel | Cancel from your account |

| Watch out for | A different model. The $7 figure is what a pharmacy charges with a discount card; your total is consult plus pharmacy. | Hair is a sideline here: the site is built around GLP-1 weight loss and every hair page carries weight-loss promotions. Every price is 'starting at', and the 120-day money-back guarantee shouted on the home page covers the weight-loss programme, not the hair products. |
The black tag marks the lower price where both providers publish one. Shaded prices are still pending a checkout check. Full detail: Dr. B · SHED.
