How Gentle Health scores

Six columns, each one computed from something Gentle Health 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.

What signing up with Gentle Health 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. 1Gentle Health shows a price on its own site before asking anything about you, so you can compare it with other sellers before you start a questionnaire.
  2. 2Gentle Health names 3 pharmacies that fill its prescriptions, including AllMedRx Specialty Pharmacy, which most sellers do not do.
  3. 3The monthly price includes the medication, clinician visits and shipping.
Price shown before you start
  • Lowest ongoing monthly price: semaglutide $159, tirzepatide $219. That leaves out membership fees, first-month rates and insurance copays.
  • Gentle Health serves 40 of 50 states and DC, so check that yours is one of them.
  • 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.

In its favor

  • Semaglutide costs $159 a month, 20% below the $199 median for compounded semaglutide across the sellers we compare
  • Tirzepatide costs $219 a month, 19% below the $269 median for compounded tirzepatide across the sellers we compare
  • Shows its price before the medical questionnaire, so you can compare it without handing over health information
  • The monthly price includes the medication, clinician visits and shipping
  • Serves 40 states and DC
  • Names 3 pharmacies that fill its prescriptions, which most sellers do not
  • We found no FDA warning letters issued to Gentle Health

Against it

  • Its compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide are not FDA-approved, so they have not been reviewed by the agency for safety, effectiveness or manufacturing quality

What Gentle Health charges

The standing price at Gentle Health is $135/month.

  • Compounded semaglutide (0.24-0.48 mg): $135/month
  • Compounded semaglutide (0.48-1.2 mg): $159/month
  • Compounded semaglutide (1.2-2.4 mg): $199/month
  • Compounded tirzepatide (2.5-5 mg): $169/month
  • Compounded tirzepatide (5-10 mg): $219/month
  • Compounded tirzepatide (10-15 mg): $269/month

For compounded semaglutide, the median across the sellers we compare is $199/month, so Gentle Health's $159 is genuinely below the middle, not just advertised that way. Before you pay, compare Gentle Health's cancellation terms with other sellers' cancellation and refund policies. For scale, the dearest tenth of compounded sellers charges about three times the cheapest tenth.

Ivim Health, at about $140/month, is the closest like-for-like alternative we review.

What Gentle Health dispenses

Gentle Health 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. Both routes are available: the FDA-approved pen, or a compounded version at lower cost. The difference is not cosmetic. The approved product has been reviewed for safety, efficacy and manufacturing quality, and a compounded preparation has not. For what differs besides the price, see compounded semaglutide vs Ozempic and Wegovy. Foundayo is the GLP-1 pill with no fasting rule, approved in April 2026.

Safety and disclosure

Gentle Health tells you its price before you start the medical questionnaire, the 40 states it serves, and the pharmacy that fills its prescriptions. We found no FDA warning letters issued to Gentle Health. 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 publishes seven warning signs for telehealth medicine sellers, and they take a minute to run against Gentle Health. How we weigh oversight, disclosure and price is set out in our scoring methodology.

Who should look elsewhere

  • You need insurance to cover the cost. Check whether Gentle Health bills your plan before you start.

It fits if

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

Our read

Gentle Health competes on price without an obvious sacrifice elsewhere: $159/month for compounded semaglutide, no FDA warning letters, and wide state coverage.

The Bottom Line

Gentle Health scores highest on the clinical side (which drugs it prescribes and how it doses) and lowest on follow-up care, and it serves 40 states. It charges from $135 a month; its compounded semaglutide, at $159, is 20% below the $199 median among the sellers we compare.

Starting at $135 a month. Check today's price, then start the intake.

Where Gentle Health 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 the standing monthly cost is what decides it, consider WellMedRx (from $49/mo).
  • If you want a human checking in, not just a prescription, consider Eden.
  • If your state is outside the area this one covers, consider Embody.

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

Frequently Asked Questions

Gentle Health is a Little Rock, Arkansas telehealth clinic whose one named physician prescribes compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide, or Wegovy, Zepbound and Foundayo bought from the makers. Compounded care is priced by dose tier, from $135 a month for semaglutide and $169 for tirzepatide, with medication, the doctor and refrigerated shipping included. Brand care is $28 a month plus the maker's price. It names its three pharmacies and serves 40 states and DC. We rate it 8.2/10 overall.
Gentle Health starts at $135 a month. That number climbs with the dose, so treat it as a floor rather than the cost of a maintenance dose. The pricing table above lists every tier.
Gentle Health names 40 states. Check that yours is on the list before you go any further.
Gentle Health lists Wegovy, Zepbound, Foundayo, compounded semaglutide and compounded tirzepatide. It lists both FDA-approved brand-name products and cheaper compounded versions.
Gentle Health lists both. Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide come out of a licensed compounding pharmacy and cost less. The brand pens are the FDA-approved reference products and cost more. What you give up on each path is set out in the review above.
Check whether Gentle Health bills your insurance before you sign up. It also takes FSA and HSA cards. Compounded GLP-1s are rarely covered by insurance, so plan on paying the listed cash price.
Gentle Health says the price covers medication, the clinician visit 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. Gentle Health runs that whole sequence on its own site.
We found no FDA warning letters issued to Gentle Health. Before you buy, weigh these: Its compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide are not FDA-approved, so they have not been reviewed by the agency for safety, effectiveness or manufacturing quality. None of them rules Gentle Health out, but each is worth settling before you pay.
Other sellers we cover include Live Vital, Ivim Health, and bmiMD. 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.
