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.
Read our full TrimRx 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.
