Pros

  • $114/month, reduced from a stated $179, and the price is all-in: doctor consultation, free rush shipping and 24/7 medical support are included with no separate consultation fee (checked July 28, 2026)
  • Cancel anytime, and the page states you are not charged if you do not qualify
  • All four active ingredients are named openly - PT-141 (bremelanotide), L-citrulline, sildenafil and tadalafil - rather than hidden behind a proprietary blend name
  • Sublingual delivery is a real advantage over tablets: it bypasses first-pass metabolism, so onset is faster and a heavy meal does not blunt absorption the way it can with oral sildenafil
  • Backed by a substantial independent review record - roughly 14,000 Trustpilot reviews at 4.4, with 99% of negative reviews answered
  • A published phone number, email address and physical address, which many competitors in this category omit entirely

Cons

  • 'Peak rigidity guaranteed' appears directly in the product copy. No prescription medication can guarantee an outcome, and this is the most explicit outcome promise we have seen across every provider reviewed on this site
  • The formula stacks two PDE5 inhibitors - sildenafil and tadalafil - and then adds L-citrulline, a nitric oxide precursor. All three act on the same nitric oxide and cGMP pathway, so the blood-pressure-lowering effect compounds three ways rather than one
  • PT-141 adds a fourth agent that independently causes low blood pressure, nausea and flushing. Four actives, four routes to hypotension, and no discussion anywhere on the page of the combined risk
  • Bremelanotide's only FDA approval is as Vyleesi, an autoinjector for premenopausal women with hypoactive sexual desire disorder. Prescribing it to men in a compounded sublingual liquid is off-label and a different route of administration
  • The word FDA does not appear on the page at all. The product is compounded, and the page never states the consequence - that compounded preparations are not reviewed or approved by the FDA for safety, efficacy or quality
  • 'The world's first 4-in-1 formula' and 'hospital-grade power' are unverifiable marketing superlatives attached to a prescription product
  • The advertised Trustpilot score covers MEDVi's business as a whole rather than this specific product
  • The published address is a suite at a Delaware registered-agent building, not a clinical facility
  • Anyone taking nitrates or riociguat must not use this product. The PT-141 component also interacts with 5-HT3 anti-emetics such as ondansetron, and stacking two PDE5 inhibitors makes the nitrate contraindication more dangerous, not less

Medications

Pros

  • It bills your insurance instead of asking you to forget insurance exists. Circle Medical states it is in-network with most commercial plans
  • Publishes a real out-of-pocket figure rather than a marketing one: patients with accepted insurance paid an average of $35 per appointment over the previous six months
  • FDA-approved medication only - Wegovy, Zepbound and non-GLP-1 options such as Contrave when appropriate. No compounded product
  • No membership and no hidden fees, which is rare among insurance-accepting telehealth services
  • This is a full primary-care practice, so weight management sits inside ongoing medical care rather than being a standalone drug subscription
  • Clear, conventional eligibility criteria published up front: BMI 27+ with a weight-related condition such as high blood pressure, diabetes or sleep apnea, or BMI 30+ without one
  • A mobile app with regular provider check-ins
  • Honest about supply and coverage: the site warns these treatments have significant stock issues and are not always covered
  • Insurance verification is built into the booking flow, so you find out where you stand before the appointment

Cons

  • Your cost is whatever your plan says it is. $35 is an average, not a price - deductibles and exclusions can leave you paying far more
  • The medication itself is a separate cost from the visit, and coverage for weight-loss drugs is the single most commonly denied benefit in this category
  • You must live in the state you are treated in and have your primary pharmacy in that same state, which rules out anyone splitting time between states
  • The full list of available states is not published - you have to start booking an appointment to see it
  • You may be booked with any available provider (MD, DO, PA-C or NP) rather than choosing one
  • If your insurance denies weight-loss coverage, there is no cash-pay compounded fallback here
