Read our full Remedy Meds review →About Velvet Rx
Three SKUs are listed openly on Velvet Rx's site: an oral GLP-1, compounded tirzepatide and compounded semaglutide. The 'today' prices of $139 to $199 are a first-month promotion; regular monthly rates are $299, $359 and $349. Each plan takes in a doctor consult, the written prescription, 4 weeks of drug, shipping free in 1-2 days and a medical team reachable at any hour. Cash is the only tender, and FSA/HSA qualify.

Remedy Meds
What we like
- The monthly price includes the medication, clinician visits and shipping
- Serves 49 states
- 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
- You only see a price after finishing the medical intake, so you cannot compare costs before sharing health information
- Ask which pharmacy fills the prescription before you pay, so you can check its license
- The FDA has issued Remedy Meds 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

Watch-outs
- Semaglutide costs $299 a month, 62% above the $185 median for compounded semaglutide across the sellers we compare
- 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
