About Better U Care
Supplies are included and the cost does not shift between doses: 397 dollars for compounded tirzepatide, 298 dollars per month for compounded semaglutide. A clinical appointment at 150 dollars unlocks the brands, where Ozempic is 1,399 dollars monthly and both Mounjaro and Wegovy reach 1,695 dollars, delivery free and care continuing throughout. Self-pay is the model, and no insurance is required. Coverage stops at 21 states.
Read our full Better U Care review →About TrimRx
Three things TrimRx does not publish: the pharmacy that compounds its drugs, the states it serves, and any LegitScript certification. Specifics sit behind an intake quiz. What is visible is a cash-pay program with tiered monthly pricing plus multi-month bundles, no insurance, selling compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide shipped monthly at no shipping cost. Licensed US providers prescribe after reviewing an online medical history. The pitch is dose continuity and stable pricing: "switch and keep your current dose, no price hikes". Compounded GLP-1s are not FDA-approved.
