About Primary Clinic (Direct GLP)
What is sold here is Direct Primary Care membership, not a GLP-1 package. $89/mo covers primary care without limit, texting the clinic directly, virtual visits the same day and routine labs. Members then purchase compounded 503A GLP-1s at wholesale, no markup applied: $65/mo and up for semaglutide, $110/mo and up for tirzepatide. It runs in 10 states so far, and monitoring of the medication happens inside a continuing care relationship.
Read our full Primary Clinic (Direct GLP) 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.
