Read our full Curex review →About Joi + Blokes
Semaglutide costs $99 for a first month at Joi + Blokes, then $199/mo; tirzepatide opens at $149 and settles at $299/mo. Both are compounded and both bill quarterly. Hormones came first here, in two parallel programs, Joi for women and Blokes for men, with GLP-1 weight loss added later. Stacking the two is the differentiator against telehealth that sells weight loss alone, and it matters most to someone already running testosterone or a perimenopausal hormone protocol.

Curex
What we like
- Semaglutide costs $199 a month, close to the $185 median for compounded semaglutide across the sellers we compare
- Tirzepatide costs $199 a month, 20% below the $250 median for compounded tirzepatide across the sellers we compare
- Shows its price before the medical questionnaire, so you can compare it without handing over health information
- The monthly price includes the medication, clinician visits and shipping
- Serves 45 states
Watch-outs
- Not included in the monthly price: lab work
- Ask which pharmacy fills the prescription before you pay, so you can check its license
- The FDA has issued Curex a warning letter. Read what it alleges: a letter flags a problem but does not by itself rule a seller out
- Its semaglutide and tirzepatide are compounded rather than FDA-approved, so they have not been reviewed by the agency for safety, effectiveness or manufacturing quality
