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

✓The compounded disclaimer is explicit and sits on the product page itself, not in a distant footer
✓It directs patients to the FDA's adverse event reporting line (1-800-FDA-1088), which almost no competitor does
✓A real customer phone number is published rather than a contact form alone
✓Both semaglutide and tirzepatide are offered in injectable and oral forms
✓Quarterly billing at the starting dose is inexpensive - $239 per refill billed every three months for injectable semaglutide, and $399 for injectable tirzepatide (checked July 27, 2026)
✓The pricing footnote is honest about what it covers: 'Advertised pricing reflects the starting dosage'
✓Peptide and NAD+ lines are available alongside weight care

Cons

✗The monthly purchase option displays a price of '$0*/month'. On the primary buying path for the flagship product, the price simply does not render
✗Pricing is not flat across doses. The footnote states 'Actual price depends on the dosage prescribed by your provider', so the advertised figure applies only at the starting dose and rises as you titrate up - the opposite of the flat-price model most competitors offer, and a significant cost risk over a year
✗The '4.8/5' rating shown on product pages has no traceable source, and no Trustpilot profile exists for the domain
✗The homepage is effectively a navigation shell - it carries menus and a phone number but almost no content, pricing or explanation
✗Product pages are only reachable at bare paths such as /injectable-semaglutide; the more conventional /products/ and /weight-loss/ paths return empty shells
✗No refund or cancellation policy could be found beyond a 'Returns' link
✗No support hours are published, and there is no independent complaint record of any kind
✗Because the real cost depends on the dose you end up on, you cannot work out what a year of treatment will cost before signing up
