Is Ivy Rx legit?

Yes. Ivy Rx is a real, operating US company, and we found no FDA warning letters issued to it. We rate it 7.3/10 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 Ivy Rx promo or coupon code?

We know of no promo or coupon code for Ivy Rx. Its listed price is $197 a month. Coupon sites advertising "Ivy Rx discount codes" are not a source we can vouch for, and any genuine offer shows at checkout without a code.

How Ivy Rx scores

Six columns, each one computed from something Ivy Rx 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%

3.0/10

The listed figure is not a comparable monthly price for a named GLP-1 (it may be a membership fee, an insured copay, a per-vial rate or a starting-dose price), so Value is capped rather than scored against other sellers.

Effectiveness25%

10.0/10

Dispenses semaglutide and tirzepatide, compounded only. Anchored to SURMOUNT-1 (tirzepatide, -20.9%) and STEP 1 (semaglutide, -14.9%).

User Experience15%

8.0/10

A price is shown before the questionnaire starts.

Trust & Safety15%

7.5/10

No pharmacy is named for its prescriptions. It shows a price before asking for health information. It lists the states it serves.

Accessibility10%

10.0/10

Serves 50 of 50 states.

Support10%

7.0/10

The price covers the medication, clinician visits and shipping.

What signing up with Ivy Rx 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. 1Ivy Rx 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. 2Ivy Rx does not require baseline bloodwork before a first prescription.
  3. 3Ask Ivy Rx which pharmacy fills the prescription before you pay. The pharmacy's name is what lets you check its license.
  4. 4The monthly price includes the medication, clinician visits and shipping.
Price shown before you start
  • Before you commit, get the ongoing monthly price of the medication itself, not a first-month rate, a membership fee or a per-vial price.
  • Ivy Rx serves all 50 states.

In its favor

  • Shows its price before the medical questionnaire, so you can compare it without handing over health information
  • The monthly price stays the same as your dose goes up
  • The monthly price includes the medication, clinician visits and shipping
  • Serves all 50 states
  • We found no FDA warning letters issued to Ivy Rx

Against it

  • 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

What Ivy Rx charges

Ivy Rx charges $197/month, and holds that rate across every dose. Flat dose pricing matters more than it sounds: on a tiered plan the bill grows with the dose, so the figure that got you to sign up is not the one you end up paying.

  • Compounded semaglutide: $197/month
  • Compounded tirzepatide: $297/month

RNK Health, at about $197/month, is the closest like-for-like alternative we review.

What Ivy Rx dispenses

Ivy Rx prescribes semaglutide (approved as Wegovy and Ozempic) and tirzepatide (approved as Zepbound and Mounjaro). Between them these are the pair carrying the strongest published outcome data. What arrives is compounded at a licensed pharmacy, not an approved pen. That is the reason it costs less, and the reason the finished preparation carries no FDA review behind it.

Safety and disclosure

Ivy Rx tells you its price before you start the medical questionnaire and that it treats patients in all 50 states. We found no FDA warning letters issued to Ivy Rx. Because the medication is compounded, the most useful question to ask at intake is which licensed pharmacy fills the prescription. If Ivy Rx will not tell you, treat that as a warning sign. 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 Ivy Rx bills your plan before you start.

It fits if

  • you want the price to stop moving as your dose climbs
  • you need access wherever you live

Our read

Ivy Rx charges $197/month. Too few sellers offer the same drug and form to say whether that is cheap or expensive, so judge it on what the package includes.

The Bottom Line

Ivy Rx's strongest column is the clinical side: which molecules it will prescribe, and how it handles dosing.

Where Ivy Rx 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 Sesame Care.
  • If the standing monthly cost is what decides it, consider Collective (from $59/mo).
  • If you want a human checking in, not just a prescription, consider ShedRx.

Frequently Asked Questions

Ivy Rx is a telehealth seller running tiered compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide programs. We rate it 7.3/10 overall.
Ivy Rx starts at $197 a month. That number holds across doses, so titrating up does not move the bill. The pricing table above lists every tier.
Ivy Rx says it treats patients in all 50 states.
Ivy Rx sells semaglutide (sold as Wegovy and Ozempic) and tirzepatide (sold as Zepbound and Mounjaro). Every dose it lists is compounded.
Ivy Rx 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 Ivy Rx bills your insurance before you sign up. Compounded GLP-1s are rarely covered by insurance, so plan on paying the listed cash price.
Ivy Rx 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. Ivy Rx runs that whole sequence on its own site.
We found no FDA warning letters issued to Ivy Rx. Before you buy, weigh these: 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. None of them rules Ivy Rx out, but each is worth settling before you pay.
