Actin sells compounded semaglutide at $169 a month and compounded tirzepatide at $269, each with B12 or glycine, plus a semaglutide microdose plan at $149. Prepaying three or six months lowers the effective monthly rate, to $116 and $166 at six months. Beluga Health prescribes, and three named compounding pharmacies fill. It also sells hormone, sexual-health and longevity injections.

Is Actin legit?

Yes. Actin is a real, operating US company, and we found no FDA warning letters issued to it. We rate it 6.3/10 overall, across six areas from price to trust and safety. Legitimate is not the same as right for you, though: that part is a decision for you and a licensed clinician.

Is there an Actin promo or coupon code?

We know of no promo or coupon code for Actin. Its listed price is $149 a month. Coupon sites advertising "Actin discount codes" are not a source we can vouch for, and any genuine offer shows at checkout without a code.

How Actin scores

Six columns, each one computed from something Actin has published rather than from an opinion we formed: what it charges, which molecules it will dispense, what its record shows, and what the monthly figure actually buys. Where a seller keeps something back, such as its price or its pharmacy, the score reflects it. Every seller we review goes through the same six columns.

Value25%

6.2/10

$169/month is 15% below the $199 median for compounded semaglutide across the sellers we compare. A cheaper microdose price is also listed; Value is scored on the standard dose.

What we checked on Actin

Last checked October 2026
  • Checked the listed price across 3 dose or plan tiers
  • Checked what the monthly price covers, and what it leaves out
  • Recorded which pharmacies the seller names as filling its prescriptions, with the page and date

Price, availability, and compliance here are read off the seller's own pages and off primary regulatory records, named in the sources below.

What signing up with Actin involves

What to expect on the way to a prescription: where the price appears, who fills the medication, and what the monthly price covers. It is not medical advice, and a clinician makes the prescribing decision.

  1. 1Actin shows a price only after you finish its medical questionnaire, so you cannot compare costs until you have shared health information.
  2. 2Actin does not require a live video visit or baseline bloodwork before a first prescription.
  3. 3Actin names 3 pharmacies that fill its prescriptions, including The Pharmacy Hub, which most sellers do not do.
  4. 4The monthly price includes the medication and shipping.
Price shown only after intake
  • Lowest ongoing monthly price: semaglutide $149, tirzepatide $269. That leaves out membership fees, first-month rates and insurance copays.
  • Confirm that Actin serves your state before you start.
  • The medication is compounded, so it is not an FDA-approved product and has not been reviewed by the agency for safety, effectiveness or manufacturing quality.

Compare every compounding pharmacy we’ve reviewed →

In its favor

  • Semaglutide costs $169 a month, 15% below the $199 median for compounded semaglutide across the sellers we compare
  • Tirzepatide costs $269 a month, close to the $269 median for compounded tirzepatide across the sellers we compare
  • The monthly price includes the medication and shipping
  • Names 3 pharmacies that fill its prescriptions, which most sellers do not
  • We found no FDA warning letters issued to Actin

Against it

  • 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
  • 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

What Actin charges

The standing price at Actin is $149/month.

  • Compounded semaglutide: $169/month
  • Compounded tirzepatide: $269/month
  • Compounded semaglutide (microdose): $149/month

For compounded semaglutide, the median across the sellers we compare is $199/month, so Actin's $169 is genuinely below the middle, not just advertised that way. Before you pay, compare Actin's cancellation terms with other sellers' cancellation and refund policies. Across the compounded market the dearest tenth of sellers charges about three times what the cheapest tenth does; how much GLP-1 prices actually vary explains the spread.

Found, at about $149/month + membership, is the closest like-for-like alternative we review.

What Actin dispenses

Actin prescribes semaglutide (approved as Wegovy and Ozempic) and tirzepatide (approved as Zepbound and Mounjaro). Between them these are the two molecules with the largest published weight-loss trial programs behind them. The medication is compounded rather than dispensed as an approved pen. Compounding serves real clinical needs and is entirely lawful; what it is not is reviewed, and the cost difference reflects that. The molecule can be the one in Ozempic and Wegovy; what differs is the formulation, the concentration and the dose ladder. Actin also lists a microdose plan, and the published evidence on GLP-1 microdosing is letters and commentary rather than trials.

Safety and disclosure

Actin tells you the pharmacy that fills its prescriptions. We found no FDA warning letters issued to Actin. Because the medication is compounded, the named pharmacy is the detail that matters most: its license is the one you can look up. The FDA's warning signs for online medicine sellers are a quick check to run on any seller before you pay. How we weigh oversight, disclosure and price is set out in our scoring methodology.

Who should look elsewhere

  • You want the FDA-approved pen specifically. Everything listed here is compounded.
  • You need insurance to cover the cost. Check whether Actin bills your plan before you start.

It fits if

  • the lowest standing monthly cost is what you are solving for

Our read

Actin competes on price: $169/month for compounded semaglutide. The catch is disclosure, which is why Actin scores low on Trust & Safety: settle the pharmacy and pricing questions above before the price decides for you.

The Bottom Line

Actin falls below our bar on disclosure. It charges from $149 a month; its compounded semaglutide, at $169, is 15% below the $199 median among the sellers we compare.

Starting at $149 a month. Check today's price, then start the intake.

Where Actin is the wrong choice

No seller suits every reader, and pretending otherwise is the easiest way to sell one. On these three counts, another seller does better.

  • If you need the FDA-approved pen rather than a compounded vial, consider WellMedRx.
  • If the standing monthly cost is what decides it, consider Collective (from $59/mo + membership).
  • If you want a human checking in, not just a prescription, consider Eden.

If none of these fits, our guide to alternatives to Actin sets more sellers in the same category beside Actin on price, states and what the price includes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Actin sells compounded semaglutide at $169 a month and compounded tirzepatide at $269, each with B12 or glycine, plus a semaglutide microdose plan at $149. Prepaying three or six months lowers the effective monthly rate, to $116 and $166 at six months. Beluga Health prescribes, and three named compounding pharmacies fill. It also sells hormone, sexual-health and longevity injections. We rate it 6.3/10 overall.
Actin starts at $149 a month, but that is for its microdose tier; its standard injectable starts at $169. The pricing table above lists every tier.
Ask Actin whether it serves your state before you start the intake, and get the answer in writing.
Actin lists compounded semaglutide and compounded tirzepatide.
Actin lists compounded GLP-1s only. A licensed compounding pharmacy prepares them: same active ingredient as the brand drug, lower cash price, and no FDA approval of the finished product. That last part is the one readers underestimate, and the review above says why.
Check whether Actin bills your insurance before you sign up. Compounded GLP-1s are rarely covered by insurance, so plan on paying the listed cash price.
Actin says the price covers medication and shipping. The strip near the top of this review shows what is included and what is not.
You fill in an online intake, a licensed clinician decides whether a GLP-1 is appropriate, and if the answer is yes the medication ships to you. Actin runs that whole sequence on its own site.
We found no FDA warning letters issued to Actin. Before you buy, weigh these: 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. 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. None of them rules Actin out, but each is worth settling before you pay.
Other sellers we cover include Sesame Care, ShedRx, and Found. Which one fits depends on the medication, the monthly price you can sustain and whether it ships to your state, so compare those three facts before you switch.
