Medications

semaglutidetirzepatide

Pros

✓The lowest advertised GLP-1 pricing we have found: $97 for the standard GLP-1 injection and $77 for the microdose plan (checked July 27, 2026)
✓The on-site rating is real and verifiable - 4.7 from 6,549 Trustpilot reviews, matching what the site claims
✓Publishes a phone line, a support email and a physical address, with support advertised seven days a week
✓Every product carries its own 'Important safety information' section rather than one generic sitewide disclaimer
✓Brand-name Ozempic and Mounjaro are offered alongside compounded options
✓Needle-free GLP-1 oral melts and a microdose plan give lower-intensity entry points
✓Anti-nausea tablets are sold alongside the GLP-1s, which is a practical acknowledgement of the most common side effect
✓The compounded disclosure sits next to the products themselves, not buried in a policy page

Cons

✗The refund policy gives you no defined entitlement. It states IVY RX is 'unable to accept returns' and then invites you to 'contact us so we can work together to find a solution' - there is no stated circumstance in which you are owed money back
✗The storefront labels its weight-loss products generically as 'GLP-1' and 'GLP-1 Microdose' rather than naming semaglutide or tirzepatide, so you cannot tell which molecule you are buying until later in the flow
✗No plan terms are published for the $97 rate - there is nothing on the page saying whether it requires a multi-month commitment
✗The catalogue includes BPC 157 and methylene blue under a 'Supplements' menu. BPC-157 is a peptide the FDA has flagged over compounding safety, and neither is an approved dietary ingredient, so their presence is a reason for caution about the wider range
✗Two different support addresses appear across the site - hello@ivyrx.com in the header and support@ivyrx.com in the refund policy
✗Ozempic and Mounjaro are FDA-approved for type 2 diabetes, so prescribing them for weight loss is off-label
✗No BBB profile or complaint record to set against the Trustpilot score
✗As with all compounded GLP-1s, the products are not FDA-approved and no efficacy data specific to IVY RX's patients is published

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
