About Luci
Luci competes on price for compounded GLP-1: $99/month at the bottom for compounded semaglutide, $145/month for compounded tirzepatide, with pill kits of both molecules available orally. An independent US telehealth medical group called DrTelx handles the clinical side, reading a short questionnaire before a provider signs off, then staying on for ongoing support. Neither compounded molecule holds FDA approval for weight loss. Only select US states are served and Luci never prints the full list. The pharmacy goes unnamed.

Luci
What we like
- The monthly price includes the medication, clinician visits and shipping

Watch-outs
- You only see a price after finishing the medical intake, so you cannot compare costs before sharing health information
- 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
