Luci competes on price for compounded GLP-1: $99/month at the bottom for compounded semaglutide, $145/month for compounded tirzepatide, with pill kits of both molecules available orally. An independent US telehealth medical group called DrTelx handles the clinical side, reading a short questionnaire before a provider signs off, then staying on for ongoing support. Neither compounded molecule holds FDA approval for weight loss. Only select US states are served and Luci never prints the full list. The pharmacy goes unnamed.
Is Luci legit?
Yes. Luci is a real, operating US company, and we found no FDA warning letters issued to it. We rate it 5.5/10 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 a Luci promo or coupon code?
We know of no promo or coupon code for Luci. Its listed price is $99 a month. Coupon sites advertising "Luci discount codes" are not a source we can vouch for, and any genuine offer shows at checkout without a code.

How Luci scores
Six columns, each one computed from something Luci 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%
3.0/10The 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%
10.0/10Dispenses semaglutide and tirzepatide, compounded only. Anchored to SURMOUNT-1 (tirzepatide, -20.9%) and STEP 1 (semaglutide, -14.9%).
User Experience15%
3.0/10No price appears until the medical intake is finished.
Trust & Safety15%
4.0/10No pharmacy is named for its prescriptions. Its price appears only after the medical intake.
Accessibility10%
5.0/10No state list is available to check, so this is held at the midpoint rather than scored on reach.
Support10%
7.0/10The price covers the medication, clinician visits and shipping.
A seller that shows no price until after the medical intake loses points on User Experience and Trust & Safety, and its review says so. How we score →

What signing up with Luci 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.
- 1Luci shows a price only after you finish its medical questionnaire, so you cannot compare costs until you have shared health information.
- 2Ask Luci which pharmacy fills the prescription before you pay. The pharmacy's name is what lets you check its license.
- 3The monthly price includes the medication, clinician visits and shipping.
- 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.
- Confirm that Luci serves your state before you start.

GLP-1 medications Luci offers
Each one has its own guide: how the molecule works, the dosing schedule, the side effects that show up in practice, and what the trials actually measured.

Check the price yourself before you pay
Every figure here was read off Luci's own checkout on the date shown. Sellers move prices without announcing it, and promotional rates lapse, so confirm the standing cost on their site before committing.
In its favor
- The monthly price includes the medication, clinician visits and shipping
- We found no FDA warning letters issued to Luci
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
- 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 Luci charges
Luci lists $99/month.
- Compounded semaglutide: $99/month
- Compounded tirzepatide: $145/month
bmiMD, at about $99/month, is the closest like-for-like alternative we review.
What Luci dispenses
Luci 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. These are compounded preparations from a licensed pharmacy rather than approved pens, which is where the lower price comes from. A compounded drug is not FDA-approved as a finished product: the specific preparation has not been reviewed for safety, efficacy or manufacturing quality.
A needle-free oral option is genuinely uncommon and is the reason some readers will look at Luci at all. Set expectations on the evidence, though: the published weight-loss trials for these molecules used injections. Oral and sublingual delivery of peptides is far less studied, so treat it as a route that solves the needle problem rather than as a proven equal to the shot.
Safety and disclosure
Before you start an intake, ask Luci which states it serves, which pharmacy fills its prescriptions and what the monthly price includes. We found no FDA warning letters issued to Luci. The pharmacy question matters most here because the medication is compounded. If Luci will not name the pharmacy, 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 Luci bills your plan before you start.
It fits if
- injections are the thing keeping you from starting
Our read
Luci charges $99/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 catch is disclosure, which is why Luci scores low on Trust & Safety: settle the pharmacy and pricing questions above before the price decides for you.
The Bottom Line
Luci falls below our bar on disclosure. Read the breakdown below before you give it money.
Before you pay Luci
Starting at $99 a month. Check today's price, then start the intake.
Where Luci 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.
