Frequently Asked Questions
Refills has 1 FDA warning letter on file — for a lot of readers that alone is reason enough to compare it against providers with a cleaner compliance record. Refills is actually priced below the $170 category median at $150/mo, so readers switching away from it are usually leaving for reasons other than cost — see below. Our review of Refills notes two recurring drawbacks: Ongoing monthly pricing for compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide not shown until after intake; Legal entity name and state of incorporation not disclosed. The picks above were selected on overall score, value, and experience — one may fit your situation better.
Yes — switching telehealth providers is common and low-risk as long as the new provider is reputable and a licensed clinician oversees your care. You'll complete a quick intake, and the clinician reviews your history and current dose before continuing treatment. Never stop or change your dose on your own; let the prescribing clinician guide any transition.
Refills runs about $150/mo ongoing. Several alternatives on this page cost less — each row shows exactly how much you'd save per month versus Refills. Others cost more but include extras like coaching or brand-name options, so compare on total value, not just the headline price.
In most cases you start fresh with the new provider rather than transferring a compounded prescription directly — the new clinician writes a new prescription after reviewing your history. Keep a record of your current medication, dose, and pharmacy; it makes the new intake faster and helps the clinician continue you at the right dose.
You'll complete a new online intake with any alternative, since each provider's clinicians need to evaluate you directly. Some providers ask for recent labs; many compounded-GLP-1 programs don't require new bloodwork to start. If you have recent results, having them handy can speed up approval.
