About Intimate Rose

169 dollars per month is the published floor for oral compounded tirzepatide or semaglutide, taking in delivery at no charge and the drug, with continuing provider support and neither contract nor membership attached; the weight-loss page states this openly. Long established in pelvic and women's health, the brand added this online weight-management program later. Compounding pharmacies and licensed providers in the OpenLoop Health network handle fulfillment and clinical work. Payment is cash only, and FSA and HSA both qualify. FDA approval does not extend to compounded GLP-1s.

Pros & Cons

FormidableMD

What we like

  • Semaglutide costs $169 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
  • We found no FDA warning letters issued to FormidableMD
  • A live video visit with a clinician is required before a prescription, which is slower than a form and is the more careful intake

Watch-outs

  • Not included in the monthly price: clinician visits
  • Serves only 1 states, so check that yours is one of them
  • Ask which pharmacy fills the prescription before you pay, so you can check its license
  • 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

Intimate Rose

What we like

  • Semaglutide costs $169 a month, close to the $185 median for compounded semaglutide across the sellers we compare

Watch-outs

  • Confirm it serves your state before you start the intake
  • Ask which pharmacy fills the prescription before you pay, so you can check its license
  • The FDA has issued Intimate Rose 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
