LVNG RX is a Delaware-registered telehealth platform (LVNG RX LLC) offering compounded semaglutide from $149/mo and tirzepatide from $249/mo, plus a lower-dose GLP-1 microdose program.

Those are 'from' figures confirmed only after provider review, and the treatment pages publish no prices at all.
Read our full LVNG RX review →Pros & Cons
Collective
What we like
- The lowest published compounded GLP-1 medication prices we track — $59/month semaglutide and $69/month tirzepatide
- Flat pricing at every dose, so titrating up does not raise the bill
- Unlimited clinician messaging and registered-dietitian access are included rather than upsold
- 21-day free trial on the membership before the annual fee is charged
Watch-outs
- The advertised $59 and $69 exclude a mandatory $199 annual membership — the real first-year cost is $907 and $1,027
- Membership fees are non-refundable and no partial-period refunds are given
- Compounding pharmacies are described only as 'independent, third-party licensed pharmacies' and are never named
- State availability is not published on the marketing site
LVNG RX
What we like
- One bundled price covers the provider visit, prescription, shipping and ongoing check-ins, with zero consultation charges
- States you are charged nothing if a provider does not approve you for treatment
- Promises no dose-change surcharges — 'the price we quote is the price you pay, period'
- Semaglutide from $149/mo is competitive against the wider compounded market
- Offers a lower-dose GLP-1 microdose program alongside standard semaglutide and tirzepatide
- Free 2-3 day shipping in discreet, temperature-controlled packaging
- Thorough Terms, Privacy and HIPAA pages with a plain disclaimer that compounded drugs are not FDA-approved
- Subscriptions can be canceled in the patient portal up to 48 hours before the next charge
Watch-outs
- Displays a Trustpilot 'Rated Excellent 4.8 / 5' badge, but no Trustpilot profile exists for the domain or the brand
- Also claims '4.9 based on 300+ Google reviews'; no Google listing for the business could be located
- Its own homepage figures conflict — '10k+' members in the hero versus '1,743+ patients supported' in the counters below
- The actual plan price is confirmed only after provider review, and the three treatment pages publish no prices at all
- No compounding pharmacy, medical group or individual clinician is named anywhere on the site
- Terms require you to waive your right to fill the prescription at a pharmacy of your choice
- One FAQ line claims all 50 states while the Terms limit service to states where the company operates
- The address labeled 'Clinic Address' is a Newark, Delaware mailbox suite, not a clinical location
