Medications

semaglutidetirzepatide

Pros

✓The largest verifiable review base of any provider in this batch: the Trustpilot profile for refills.com showed a 4-star TrustScore from roughly 1,244 reviews when we checked
✓No membership or app fees, stated as a headline promise: "Never Pay for Monthly Memberships or App Fees"
✓All dosages cost the same - "We don't charge you based on dosage changes" - which removes the titration price trap that catches most compounded GLP-1 patients
✓Both a GLP-1 (semaglutide-class) and a GIP + GLP-1 (tirzepatide-class) injectable are offered
✓A published phone number, 888-458-5061, and support@refills.com, with 24/7 health-concierge support advertised
✓Free and discreet shipping on every order
✓Unusually candid disclaimers: it states plainly that compounded drug products are not approved or evaluated by the FDA, and that Refills Health is not a medical services provider but a technology platform
✓It names its clinical partners - Beluga Health, Bask Health and Wasef Health - rather than referring vaguely to "our providers"
✓Certificates of Analysis are available on request for any batch
✓LegitScript certification is displayed

Cons

✗Pricing is quoted per day, not per month. "GLP-1s from $5/day" reads as cheap but is $150 a month, and the site never states a monthly figure
✗Refills is a technology platform, not a medical provider. It does not manufacture or dispense medication and does not employ the clinicians who prescribe
✗All prescription sales are final. State and federal rules do not allow returns of dispensed prescription medication, and once your card is charged and the package is handed to the carrier there is no refund
✗Returns are only accepted on unopened, non-prescription items within 30 days, and you pay the return shipping
✗It does not ship refrigerated products, which the returns page presents as a benefit ("your product will not be affected by increased transit time") but which is worth understanding before you order
✗The medication is compounded, so it has not been evaluated by the FDA for safety, quality or efficacy
✗Available across the US but explicitly not in the District of Columbia
✗Before/after testimonials headline losses of 40 to 120 pounds. The disclaimer that results are not typical is present but far less prominent than the numbers

Medications

semaglutidetirzepatide

Pros

✓Itemized price tables published in the terms for every product and plan: Flat Program semaglutide injection at $199/mo, dropping to $169, $159 and $149 on 3, 6 and 12-month bundles (checked July 26, 2026)
✓Both semaglutide and tirzepatide, as weekly injections or as a chewing gum formulation - a genuinely unusual needle-free option
✓No separate membership fee stacked on top of the medication price
✓Free shipping with 1-2 day delivery claimed
✓Full refund if a provider disqualifies you on medical grounds
✓Clinical services run through OpenLoop Health, an established nationwide clinician network
✓The terms state plainly that compounded GLP-1s are 'not FDA-approved or evaluated for safety, efficacy, or quality'
✓Named legal entity, published support email and a working phone number - support@joinem.co and (347) 269-4270

Cons

✗The advertised price is not the price in the contract. The landing page sells 'flat locked in monthly pricing' at $69/mo for semaglutide and $119/mo for tirzepatide. Neither figure appears anywhere in the terms
✗The terms' promotional Start Program is $99 for month one and then $299/month from month two for semaglutide injection, and $149 then $399/month for tirzepatide - four times the advertised rate
✗The cheapest genuinely flat rate in the terms is $199/mo for semaglutide injection, almost three times the $69 on the landing page
✗Two different cancellation deadlines appear across the same policy set: the refund policy requires 72 hours' notice before your billing date, the terms require at least 5 days before the end of your prescription period
✗All sales are final once medication is ordered, medical consultation fees are never refundable, and bundled plans are not refunded for unused months
✗The user agreement imposes mandatory arbitration and waives your right to join a class action
✗The countdown timer warning that 'price increases in...' was displaying 00:00:00:00 while the offer was still being advertised
✗'(4.8) Excellent!' and '125,000+ happy customers' carry no source; Trustpilot showed 3.6 from 3,906 reviews
✗The compounded, not-FDA-approved disclosure sits in the terms, while the landing page calls the treatment 'the proven way to lose 15% of your body weight fast'
