About Velvet Rx
Three SKUs are listed in the open at velvetrx.com: 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.

Velvet Rx
What we like
- Publishes a price on its own site before the medical questionnaire, so it can be compared without handing over health information
- The monthly price is recorded as flat across doses, so it does not climb as the dose is titrated up
- The monthly figure covers medication, consult, shipping
- No FDA warning letter matched this operator when we searched our enforcement register
Watch-outs
- Semaglutide at $299 a month, 58% above the $189 register median for the same drug and form
- No state list is on record here, so whether it serves your state cannot be confirmed from this page
- No dispensing pharmacy is named in our record, so its accreditation cannot be looked up from here
- 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
