- Tirzepatide costs $359 a month, 44% above the $250 median for compounded tirzepatide across the sellers we compare

- 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
- 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
