Compare manufacturer programs
If you already have a prescription, or your own doctor is writing one, manufacturer direct-to-consumer pharmacy programs are usually the most predictable self-pay option. They publish flat pricing by dose and ship directly to you.
These programs don't replace the evaluation step. A licensed clinician, your own doctor or a telehealth provider, still has to write the prescription first.
