How Refills scores

Six columns, each one computed from something Refills 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 it publishes nothing, that absence is what gets scored. Every seller in the register goes through the same six columns.

Value25%

3.0/10

No monthly price is published at all, so value cannot be measured against the register. Capped rather than scored.

Effectiveness25%

5.0/10

Publishes no medication list or price, so what is prescribed here cannot be established. Held at the midpoint — this is a gap in the record, not a finding about the drugs.

User Experience15%

8.0/10

On the seller's own pages, a price is published before the questionnaire starts.

Trust & Safety15%

3.5/10

1 FDA warning letter on record; does not name a dispensing pharmacy; shows a price before asking for health information. Our verification confidence is medium.

Accessibility10%

5.0/10

Publishes no list of states served, so coverage cannot be confirmed either way. Capped at the midpoint — this measures disclosure, not reach.

Support10%

5.0/10

No published price, so what a price would include cannot be assessed. Held at the midpoint.

What we checked on Refills

Last checked June 2026
  • Established what the monthly figure covers, and what it leaves out
  • Searched our FDA enforcement register for this operator

Price, availability, and compliance here are read off the seller's own pages and off primary regulatory records, named in the sources below. Editorial confidence in this data: medium.

What signing up with Refills involves

Assembled from this seller’s entry in the register — the price record, the state list, the dispensing pharmacy where one is named, and what the monthly figure covers. It describes what a reader can expect to meet on the way to a prescription, and what is missing from the seller’s own disclosures. It is not a clinical judgment and not a prescribing decision.

  1. 1Refills publishes a price on its own site before asking anything about you. You can compare it against this register without starting a questionnaire.
  2. 2The intake is a written questionnaire. No live video visit or baseline bloodwork is recorded as required.
  3. 3Refills does not say which pharmacy dispenses the medication. That is common here and it means you cannot check the pharmacy's record before you buy.
  4. 4The monthly price is recorded as covering shipping.
Price shown before you start
  • No comparable monthly cash price for the medication is on record — either nothing is published, or what is published is a fee, an insured copay or a per-vial rate rather than a monthly cost.
  • No state list is published, so whether Refills serves your state cannot be confirmed from its site.
  • 1 FDA warning letter on record. The letter itself is linked in the enforcement section below — read what it alleges rather than the fact that it exists.

GLP-1 medications Refills 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.

In its favor

  • Publishes a price on its own site before the medical questionnaire, so it can be compared without handing over health information
  • The monthly price is recorded as flat across doses, so it does not climb as the dose is titrated up
  • The monthly figure covers shipping

Against it

  • No state list is on record here, so whether it serves your state cannot be confirmed from this page
  • No dispensing pharmacy is named in our record, so its accreditation cannot be looked up from here
  • 1 FDA warning letter matched to this operator in our enforcement register — read what the letter alleges, since a letter discloses a problem rather than disqualifying a seller

What Refills charges

Refills does not publish a standing monthly price. That is a choice, and it means you cannot compare it against anything until you have gone through an intake and been quoted. When you get that quote, ask specifically for the ongoing monthly figure and what it includes — not the first-month rate, and not a program total divided by its length.

What Refills dispenses

Refills 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 we could verify

Refills publishes little that can be checked from outside an intake. FDA has sent this operator a warning letter, and we flag it at the top of the page. A letter is a disclosure, not a disqualification: read what it actually says before deciding what it means for you. How we weigh oversight, disclosure and price evidence is set out in our scoring methodology.

Who should look elsewhere

  • You want the FDA-approved pen specifically. Nothing here is the approved finished product.
  • You need to compare prices before committing time to an intake — there is no published figure to compare.
  • You need to bill insurance. Like most of this market, this is cash-pay.
  • A regulatory record matters to you more than price does — read the warning letter flagged above before deciding.

It fits if

  • you want the price to stop moving as your dose climbs

Our read

We cannot tell you whether Refills is priced well, because it does not say. That is not automatically disqualifying — plenty of legitimate operators quote after intake — but it does mean the comparison has to happen after you have spent the time, which is the wrong order for the buyer. CoreAge Rx is the nearest comparison we track, and worth reading alongside this. Whatever you decide, read the warning letter flagged at the top of this page first, and raise it with the clinician you would be prescribing through.

The Bottom Line

Refills falls below our bar on medical oversight. Read the breakdown below before you give it money.

Where Refills is the wrong choice

No seller in this register suits every reader, and saying otherwise would be the easiest way to sell one. On these four counts another entry does better.

  • If you need the FDA-approved pen rather than a compounded vial, consider Found.
  • If you want a human checking in, not just a prescription, consider Oak.

Frequently Asked Questions

Regulatory notice

Refills has an FDA warning letter on record, dated February 20, 2026

This letter concerns false & misleading claims/misbranded. 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.
