Medications

semaglutidetirzepatide

Pros

✓The entire weight-loss line is FDA-approved branded medication - Wegovy pen and pill, Zepbound vial and KwikPen, Ozempic, Ozempic pill, Mounjaro and the new Foundayo pill - with no compounded product in the lineup
✓Genuinely competitive medication pricing for branded drugs: the Wegovy pill and Foundayo pill from $149/mo and the Wegovy pen and Ozempic from $199/mo (checked July 26, 2026)
✓A microdosing plan for the Wegovy pill is offered at the same $149/mo, which is unusual for a branded product
✓Zepbound vial and KwikPen at $299/mo undercut what many telehealth platforms charge for the same branded product
✓Every product carries an 'Important safety information' link directly beside it
✓A large, established, publicly listed company with real regulatory exposure, rather than an anonymous LLC
✓Ongoing care is included from day one alongside the medication

Cons

✗The advertised prices are medication only. A Hims Weight Loss Membership is required on top - $39 for the first month, then auto-renewing at $149/month - so the realistic all-in cost starts near $298/month and reaches about $448/month for Zepbound
✗The membership 'does not include or guarantee a prescription', and medication 'is not available without a membership'. You can pay $149 a month and be declined treatment
✗The $39 introductory membership auto-renews at nearly four times that rate
✗Mounjaro and Zepbound are listed at $1,899/month, far above the manufacturers' own direct-pay programmes
✗Trustpilot sits at 3.0 out of 5 across 8,862 reviews - the weakest independent score of any major provider we have reviewed here, despite the FDA-approved lineup
✗The '32 lbs' figure beside the Wegovy pill is asterisked to trial data for the branded drug, not to outcomes among Hims members
✗Ozempic and Mounjaro are FDA-approved for type 2 diabetes, so prescribing them for weight loss is off-label and depends on your clinical picture
✗Because medication and membership are billed separately, the headline price understates what leaves your account each month

Medications

semaglutidetirzepatide

Pros

✓Offers FDA-approved brand-name options alongside compounded ones: the Wegovy pill, Wegovy injection and Zepbound injection are all listed at '$99 membership + medication cost'
✓Trustpilot rating of 4.4 from over 14,000 reviews, a far larger and better sample than most competitors in this category
✓Free dietitian visits and care coaching are advertised as included, and the program is listed as HSA/FSA eligible
✓Both injectable and daily dissolvable tablet formats are offered
✓Clinical services run through OpenLoop Health, an established nationwide clinician network
✓Full refund if a provider disqualifies you, and a full refund if you cancel within the first 72 hours before receiving any services
✓The terms state plainly that compounded GLP-1s are 'not FDA-approved or evaluated for safety, efficacy, or quality'
✓Published cancellation route by email or in-portal chat, with a named support address

Cons

✗The FDA issued MEDVi a warning letter on February 20, 2026 for misbranding its compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide, including for labelling vials as though MEDVi compounded them when it does not, and for 'same active ingredient as Wegovy' style claims the agency said imply FDA approval. This is the most serious regulatory finding against any provider on this site
✗We could not verify what the compounded plans actually cost. The affiliate landing page renders its own price placeholders unsubstituted - the page literally reads 'Only ${seminject_sale_price}' and 'Starting at ${semtab_sale_price}' in eight places
✗The only price that does render, $99, is a membership fee that explicitly excludes the medication cost, so it is not comparable to the all-in prices quoted by other providers
✗The same page claims 'No membership or hidden fees!' while listing '$99 Membership + Medication Cost' for the brand-name options a few lines below
✗Patient counts contradict each other on one page: 'Join 500,000+ MEDVi patients' at the top, '10,000+ Patients Agree' further down
✗The customer testimonials are word-for-word identical to those published on TrimRx's landing page under the label 'Verified TrimRX Customer', so at least one set is not what it claims to be
✗Monthly subscribers get no refund for the month in which they cancel or for any prior month - the policy states this in capitals
✗The user agreement imposes mandatory arbitration and waives class action and jury trial rights
✗Cancellation must reach the company at least 72 hours before the next billing date or the next charge still goes through
