Need a prescription?
Every option on this page needs one. These services have a licensed provider review your details and write a prescription online, often the same day, and send it to whichever pharmacy you name — including the cheapest one above.
- Sesamefrom $34.00
About $294.00 all in — $34.00 for the visit plus $260.00 for the medicine.
All 50 states, 24/7. No membership. Their own page showed a second figure of $37 on the telehealth-visit page the same day, so treat $34 as a floor rather than a price.
Their published starting price, read on 2026-08-26 from their own page. Confirm at their checkout before you rely on it.
- QuickMDfrom $75.00
About $335.00 all in — $75.00 for the visit plus $260.00 for the medicine.
Most states. No membership. A $19 figure appeared beside the $75 on 3 Sep 2026 and could not be confirmed before their site stopped responding, so the higher published number is the one shown.

Check first whether you already have a repeat on file, or whether your own prescriber will send one to a different pharmacy — they usually will, and it costs nothing. A paid consultation is worth it only when neither is true.
Telepharmacy
In much of the country a pharmacist can verify and counsel remotely while the prescription is filled at a licensed hub. It carries far less overhead than a counter, and where it is available the cash price can undercut one.
We are not showing any yet — we have no verified telepharmacy price to put here, and an indicative one would be worth less than nothing. It is the next source we are adding.
