The price is $159/mo in 36 states, flat across all doses, so patients do not hit the per-tier escalation common as they titrate up; a promo code, 175NOW, cuts the first six weeks to $175. Mint Med is a national compounded-GLP-1 telehealth platform with no membership, selling semaglutide and tirzepatide. Patients can cancel anytime on 48 hours' notice, it is HSA/FSA eligible, and it is LegitScript Certified. Mint Medical Clinic, which is Utah-only, is a different company.
Is Mint Med legit?
Mint Med is a real, operating US company, and the FDA has issued it a warning letter. The letter is summarized at the top of this review. Read what it alleges before you decide, and raise it with the clinician who would prescribe for you. We rate Mint Med 7.9/10 overall.
Is there a Mint Med promo or coupon code?
Mint Med publishes the code 175NOW ("Use code 175NOW to get your First Six Weeks for only $175" (standard $159/mo thereafter). Also a $25 referral). You enter it at checkout on Mint Med's own site. Other codes for Mint Med circulate on coupon sites, and we cannot vouch for those.

How Mint Med scores
Six columns, each one computed from something Mint Med 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%
8.3/10$117/month is 37% below the $185 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%).
User Experience15%

Trust & Safety15%
5.5/10The FDA has issued it a warning letter. No pharmacy is named for its prescriptions. It shows a price before asking for health information. It lists the states it serves.

What signing up with Mint Med 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.
- 1Mint Med 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.
- 2Ask Mint Med 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.
- Lowest ongoing monthly price: semaglutide $117, tirzepatide $159. That leaves out membership fees, first-month rates and insurance copays.
- Mint Med serves 36 of 50 states, so check that yours is one of them.
- The FDA has issued Mint Med a warning letter. It is covered in the enforcement section below; read what it alleges before you decide.
- 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.

Pricing
Prices re-verified
Check the price yourself before you pay
Every figure here was read off Mint Med'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
- Semaglutide costs $117 a month, 37% below the $185 median for compounded semaglutide across the sellers we compare
- Tirzepatide costs $159 a month, 36% below the $250 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 stays the same as your dose goes up
- The monthly price includes the medication
Against it
- Serves only 36 states, so check that yours is one of them
- Ask which pharmacy fills the prescription before you pay, so you can check its license
- The FDA has issued Mint Med a warning letter. Read what it alleges: a letter flags a problem but does not by itself rule a seller out
- 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 Mint Med charges
Mint Med lists $117/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: $159/month
- Compounded semaglutide: $117/month
- Compounded tirzepatide: $159/month
For compounded semaglutide, the median across the sellers we compare is $185/month, so Mint Med's $117 is genuinely below the middle, not just advertised that way.
Oak, at about $119/month, is the closest like-for-like alternative we review.
What Mint Med dispenses
Mint Med 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. 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.
Safety and disclosure
Mint Med tells you its price before you start the medical questionnaire and the 36 states it serves. The FDA has issued Mint Med a warning letter, summarized at the top of this page. A letter flags a problem rather than ruling a seller out, so read what it says before deciding what it means for you. Because the medication is compounded, the most useful question to ask at intake is which licensed pharmacy fills the prescription. If Mint Med 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 Mint Med bills your plan before you start.
- A seller's regulatory history matters to you more than price. Read the warning letter summarized above before deciding.
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
Our read
Mint Med competes on price, and at $117/month it competes well. The FDA warning letter is what to weigh against that, not a footnote to it. Whatever you decide, read the warning letter summarized at the top of this page first, and raise it with the clinician who would prescribe for you.
The Bottom Line
Mint Med falls below our bar on oversight: the FDA has issued it a warning letter. Read the breakdown below before you give it money.

Where Mint Med 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.

Regulatory notice
Mint Med has an FDA warning letter on record, dated June 8, 2026
This letter concerns false & misleading claims/misbranded (telehealth). A warning letter is public correspondence from FDA, not an adjudication. On its own it establishes no finding of illegal activity, and a company that gets one often answers with corrective action.
