One price at every dose, both molecules, all 50 states. The $99 and $149 figures are 12-month plans paid up front, not a monthly bill.

The Edit names its pharmacy with an address and its prescriber with an NPI you can check, and prints its first-month rates larger than the standing prices they precede.
From $259/mo sema · From $349/mo tirz · Verified September 2026
Marked down on: The $200 and $300 first-order rates are printed larger than the standing $259 and $349, with no end date on the offer.
