About TrimRx
TrimRx is a telehealth weight-loss program offering compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide prescribed by licensed US medical providers after an online medical-history review, with medication shipped monthly and free shipping. It leans on price stability and dose continuity — "switch and keep your current dose, no price hikes" — and needs no insurance (cash-pay, tiered monthly pricing plus multi-month bundles). Compounded GLP-1s are not FDA-approved. The compounding pharmacy and state list are not published, specifics are gated behind the intake quiz, and no LegitScript certification is shown.

TrimRx
What we like
- Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide, both prescribed by licensed US medical providers after an online medical-history review
- Free shipping with medication delivered to your door monthly — can start as soon as the next day
- Price-stability positioning: "switch and keep your current dose," with no advertised mid-program price hikes
- Tiered monthly pricing from ~$179/mo plus discounted multi-month bundles; no insurance required (cash-pay)
- 24/7 patient portal for support; publishes HIPAA, privacy, SMS, and terms policies
Watch-outs
- Async, questionnaire-based intake — no mandatory video visit with a clinician before prescribing
- Compounded semaglutide is not FDA-approved (the site discloses this) — it is not brand Wegovy or Ozempic
- Injectable-only — compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide are advertised, no oral form; program specifics are gated behind the intake quiz
- Compounding pharmacy partner is not named, and the state-availability list is not published
- Pricing tiers and program details are gated behind the intake quiz; no LegitScript certification displayed
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
