MEDVi review
MEDVi's compounded semaglutide costs $179 for the first month and $299 for every month after, with the physician review, plan and medication in one charge, plus free dietitian visits where insurance allows. Read the fine print around it: brand-name Wegovy and Zepbound each require a $99 membership plus a medication price it never shows, right under a banner promising no membership fees; the list of states it serves is available only by asking customer service; and it holds an FDA warning letter from February 2026.

How we scored MEDVi
Each score comes out of MEDVi's published pricing, disclosures and oversight, and the six combine into the 57/100 Editors' Rating on our weighted six-factor framework. A commission never changes a provider's score.
Cost is unpredictable, premium, or hides behind a plan commitment.
Oversight and lab support fall short of the best we track — the review below says exactly where.
The headline rate obscures a plan requirement or a hidden step-up.
Little here is shaped around a mother's week or her life stage.
Support is thin once the prescription ships.
Leaving costs you — notice windows, minimum terms or fees you don't get back.
How we verified this review

- The company's own site
MEDVi's compounded semaglutide is $179 for the first month and $299 for every month after, all-in. Brand-name Wegovy and Zepbound need a $99 membership plus a medication price it does not show, despite a banner promising no membership fees. It holds an FDA warning letter from February 2026 and lists its states only on request.

| Compounded semaglutide | $179 → $299 | Monthly refill, all-inIts FAQ: the semaglutide program "starts at $179 for your first month with no contract" and "refills are locked in at $299". The $179 headline is a first-month price; $299 is what each month after costs. |

What we like
- An all-in monthly price for compounded semaglutide that does not rise with the dose
- Dietitian visits and care coaching, plus 24/7 support
- Brand-name Wegovy, the Wegovy pill and Zepbound available
- A daily tablet option for anyone who would rather avoid injections
- No contract
The caveats
- The $179 headline is the first month only; every refill after is $299
- Brand-name medication needs a $99 membership plus a medication price it does not show, under a banner promising no membership fees
- The list of states it serves is available only from customer service
- Consultation fees are not refundable
- FDA warning letter dated February 20, 2026, to MEDVi, LLC, for vial images implying it compounds the medication and for false or misleading claims
- Its GLP-1 pages say nothing about pregnancy, breastfeeding or postpartum timing
Is MEDVi worth it?
MEDVi advertises $179 to start, but the regular rate is about $299/month — that second number is the one to budget for. In our scoring it does best on support as your dose changes and worst on price transparency.
Both brand-name and compounded options are available, so you aren't locked into one or the other. Coaching comes with the program rather than as an add-on.
What MEDVi actually costs
- Compounded semaglutide — Monthly refill, all-in: $179 to start, then $299/mo
For comparison, the typical price we see is about $196/month — MEDVi sits above it. Over a year at that rate, you'd spend about $3,588. The price is the same at every dose, so the bill doesn't grow as you step up.
What's included: the clinician consult, the medication, shipping, and coaching.
What MEDVi prescribes
MEDVi prescribes semaglutide and tirzepatide. Tirzepatide often suits women whose weight is tied to insulin resistance — common after PCOS or gestational diabetes — so having both options on one account is useful. It can also prescribe FDA-approved brand pens, which come with the manufacturer's pregnancy and breastfeeding labeling — a cleaner document to take to your OB.
A needle-free option is on the menu, which appeals if injections have been the sticking point. The catch is evidence: oral and sublingual versions of these peptides are much less studied than the injectable ones.
Getting started
It doesn't treat patients everywhere (Certain states — list only from customer service), so check your state first.
Alternatives to MEDVi
Close in price to MEDVi, and worth comparing:
- TrimRx — $299/mo, semaglutide and tirzepatide, same price at every dose, brand-name pens available
- Willow — $299/mo, semaglutide and tirzepatide
- MD Total Wellness — $299/mo, semaglutide and tirzepatide, same price at every dose
Who MEDVi suits, and who should look elsewhere
Worth it if…
- You may want to switch between semaglutide and tirzepatide later on.
- You want coaching alongside the prescription.
Give it a miss if…
- A clean regulatory record is a dealbreaker — it has an FDA warning letter, covered in the cons above.
- Budget is tight — it costs more than most of the providers we've reviewed.
- You live outside its service area (Certain states — list only from customer service).
- You're planning another baby and want that timing discussed before you start — compare CoreAge Rx, a featured partner.
Can you trust it?
MEDVi has an FDA warning letter on its record; it's summarized in the cons, and it's worth reading before you start. It's fair to ask any compounded provider two things: which pharmacy makes the medication, and what's in it. Our methodology shows how oversight feeds the score.
For mothers, pregnancy plans and breastfeeding deserve a separate clinical discussion. Weight-loss treatment is not recommended during pregnancy, while breastfeeding advice depends on the medicine and formulation. Ask your clinician to assess your treatment needs and your infant’s circumstances.
Questions to ask before you pay
- What does the price become after the first month?
- If I get pregnant or start trying, how do I pause, and will I be charged meanwhile?
Our take
We list MEDVi with its FDA warning letter in plain view; weigh that first. For a second option, see our review of CoreAge Rx, a featured partner.
The bottom line for mothers
Best for: A mother who wants an all-in compounded semaglutide price with dietitian and coaching support, and who has confirmed by email that MEDVi serves her state.

The one program on our list whose number still makes sense at the top of the dose. A flat, all-in monthly price on both molecules, no teaser rate to expire, and a cancel button you can actually find — the closest thing to a family-budget guarantee we've reviewed.
- Visit Found
The rare program that will write you either a compounded vial or an FDA-approved pen and bill the visit through your insurance, holding one price at every dose. The catch is the calendar: the cheap headline needs a year paid upfront, and every refill needs a video call.
- Visit MEDGm
A rare combination on our list: four dispensing pharmacies named outright, a named prescribing partner in OpenLoop, and genuine brand-name access to Wegovy, Zepbound and Ozempic beside a compounded line. Month to month, compounded semaglutide is $299 as a weekly injection or $369 as a daily tablet, and tirzepatide $399 as an injection, with a cheaper first month and lower rates if you prepay up to a year. The gaps are on the brand side and in the fine print. The three brand products are quoted as a membership plus a medication cost that is never published, and the membership itself appears at two different figures on one page, $99 against Zepbound and Wegovy and $171 against Ozempic. The terms also provide that a provider may switch your molecule and that continuing to stay enrolled is your consent, with the charges carrying on. It says plainly that people in its advertising may be actors or artificial intelligence.

MEDVi, answered
- How much is MEDVi after the first month?
- $299 a month for compounded semaglutide. The $179 on its banner is the first month only — its own FAQ says refills are locked in at $299, with the physician review, plan, guidance and medication included. Budget on $299, not $179.
- Does MEDVi charge a membership fee?
- For compounded semaglutide, no. For brand-name Wegovy, the Wegovy pill and Zepbound, yes — each card reads "$99 Membership + Medication Cost", and the medication cost is not shown. That sits directly under a banner saying there are no membership fees, so ask for the full monthly total in writing.
- Which states does MEDVi serve?
- Its terms say only that it serves certain states and that the list is available from customer service. Check before you start the intake, by email or phone, rather than finding out at the end.
- What is the FDA warning letter about?
- Issued in February 2026 to MEDVi, LLC, it says MEDVi's website showed vials with its own name on them, suggesting it makes the medication when it does not, and made false or misleading claims about compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide. It concerns marketing, not a finding that the medication is unsafe.
- Is there a tablet option?
- Yes: GLP-1 tablets from $249 a month, one dissolvable tablet a day, and the brand-name Wegovy pill through the membership route. MEDVi does not say which medication the $249 tablets contain, so ask before choosing them.
Pricing, states and verification reflect MEDVi's public disclosures at last review; the Editors' Rating is our editorial judgment per the published methodology.
