Prices checked October 2026
Luci prices compounded semaglutide as low as $99 a month and compounded tirzepatide as low as $145, in injections or oral pill kits, with no price change as the dose rises. The asterisk on those prices is never explained. The DrTelx medical group provides the prescribers, and three Texas and Florida pharmacies are named. The site contradicts itself on coverage: the FAQ says every state, the footer says select states. Parts of its FAQ and terms carry another brand's names.
Is Luci legit?
Yes. Luci 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 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%
10.0/10$99/month is 50% below the $199 median for compounded semaglutide across the sellers we compare.
Effectiveness25%
10.0/10Dispenses semaglutide and tirzepatide, compounded only. Anchored to SURMOUNT-1 (tirzepatide, -20.9%) and STEP 1 (semaglutide, -14.9%).

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.

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 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.
- Lowest ongoing monthly price: semaglutide $99, tirzepatide $145. That leaves out membership fees, first-month rates and insurance copays.
- Confirm that Luci 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.

Every figure here comes from Luci's own website, as of 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
- Semaglutide costs $99 a month, 50% below the $199 median for compounded semaglutide across the sellers we compare
- Tirzepatide costs $145 a month, 46% below the $269 median for compounded tirzepatide across the sellers we compare
- The monthly price stays the same as your dose goes up
- 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, flat regardless of dose. That sits at the affordable end of what we see. 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: $99/month
- Compounded tirzepatide: $145/month
For compounded semaglutide, the median across the sellers we compare is $199/month, so Luci's $99 is genuinely below the middle, not just advertised that way. Before you pay, compare Luci'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.
AgelessRx, 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. The molecule can be the one in Ozempic and Wegovy; what differs is the formulation, the concentration and the dose ladder.
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. A 503A pharmacy answers to a state board and a 503B facility to the FDA; which one fills it changes what you can check. 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
- the lowest standing monthly cost is what you are solving for
- you want the price to stop moving as your dose climbs
- injections are the thing keeping you from starting
Our read
Luci competes on price: $99/month. 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. Its compounded semaglutide costs $99 a month, 50% below the $199 median among the sellers we compare.
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 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 Luci sets more sellers in the same category beside Luci on price, states and what the price includes.
