Medications

semaglutidetirzepatide

Pros

✓The full dose-by-dose price ladder is published before purchase: semaglutide 0.25 mg (4 injections) $125, 0.5 mg $245, 1.0 mg $295, 1.7 mg + 2.4 mg $345, 2.5 mg $395
✓No subscription is necessary - you can buy a single month without enrolling in anything recurring
✓HSA and FSA cards are accepted
✓Physician access is included in the product price
✓Ships 2-day or overnight, and the product does not require refrigeration in transit
✓A clear, published eligibility floor: a minimum BMI of 27 is required to order
✓If a physician does not approve your order, it is refunded instantly
✓A physician may contact you within 24 hours of purchase if more information is needed

Cons

✗A blanket no-refund policy on everything else: "Our medications are ordered specifically per patient and therefore cannot be refunded. We have a 'no refund policy'"
✗Subscription patients are automatically escalated to a higher dose every month unless they email support to opt out - and the price rises with the dose. The burden is on you to stop it
✗The escalating price ladder means the $125 headline is a first-month figure only. By month five you are at $395
✗You have 48 hours from delivery to inspect the package and report any problem, which is a short window if you are travelling
✗Insurance is not accepted at all
✗HSA/FSA support is minimal - only a plain purchase receipt is provided, with no codes, forms or physician notes if your administrator asks for them
✗The medication is compounded and therefore not FDA-approved
✗No phone number is published - contact is info@citizenmeds.com only
✗The website itself is thin: the product catalogue carries far more detail than the company does

Medications

semaglutidetirzepatide

Pros

✓The mandatory program fee is shown next to the medication price rather than buried in a footnote: compounded semaglutide from $75/mo and tirzepatide from $133/mo, each plus a $74.99/mo program fee (checked July 27, 2026)
✓Trustpilot rating of 4.9 from 38,826 reviews - the largest and strongest independent signal of any brand we have reviewed
✓Efficacy claims are sourced to Ivim's own published study, with the comparator spelled out and an explicit note that it was 'Not a head-to-head study'
✓The compounded, not-FDA-approved disclosure is stated plainly alongside the results claims rather than in a distant footer
✓The GLP-1 ID model offers weekly provider check-ins and weekly dose adjustments, which is more active titration support than most competitors provide
✓Brand-name options are available too - Wegovy pill, Foundayo pill, Zepbound, Mounjaro, Ozempic, Wegovy, Saxenda and liraglutide
✓Plan lengths are selectable at checkout (1, 2, 4 or 6 months) rather than defaulting to a single long commitment
✓This offer is restricted in only two states, Mississippi and Washington

Cons

✗The $74.99 monthly program fee effectively doubles the cost of the entry semaglutide plan, taking a '$75/mo' headline to about $150 all-in
✗The advertised 'starting at' rates depend on plan length, and the default 'Jumpstart' option is a 4-month commitment - so the cheapest prices are not available month to month
✗The headline result, that patients 'lost an average of 46% more weight over 68 weeks', comes from Ivim's own study rather than independent research, and the comparator was diet, exercise and counselling rather than another GLP-1 provider
✗Add-on benefits are quantified with unverifiable price tags - '1:1 Virtual Holistic Consultations $850 value' and 'Master classes, group coaching & community $500 value'
✗The weight-loss calculator produces a specific projection (41.8 lbs on the default settings) that no individual can rely on
✗The supplement catalogue is very large - collagen, NMN, creatine, colostrum, berberine and more - so there is a persistent upsell layer around the medical service
✗No published customer phone number or support hours
✗No BBB profile or complaint history to set against the Trustpilot score
