How SkinnyRx scores
Six columns, each one computed from something SkinnyRx 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.

What signing up with SkinnyRx 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.
- 1SkinnyRx shows a price only after you finish its medical questionnaire, so you cannot compare costs until you have shared health information.
- 2Ask SkinnyRx 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 $248, tirzepatide $1,400, orforglipron $248. That leaves out membership fees, first-month rates and insurance copays.
- SkinnyRx serves 47 of 50 states, so check that yours is one of them.
- The FDA has issued SkinnyRx a warning letter. It is covered in the enforcement section below; read what it alleges before you decide.

Check the price yourself before you pay
Every figure here comes from SkinnyRx'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 $248 a month, 8% below the $268.68 median for brand semaglutide tablets across the sellers we compare
- Tirzepatide costs $1,400 a month, close to the $1,299 median for brand-name tirzepatide across the sellers we compare
- Orforglipron costs $248 a month, close to the $248 median for brand orforglipron tablets across the sellers we compare
- The monthly price includes the medication, clinician visits and shipping
- Serves 47 states
Against it
- You only see a price after finishing the medical intake, so you cannot compare costs before sharing health information
- Ask which pharmacy fills the prescription before you pay, so you can check its license
- The FDA has issued SkinnyRx a warning letter. Read what it alleges: a letter flags a problem but does not by itself rule a seller out
- Its compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide are not FDA-approved, so they have not been reviewed by the agency for safety, effectiveness or manufacturing quality
What SkinnyRx charges
The standing price at SkinnyRx is $248/month.
- Compounded semaglutide (injection): $99 for the first month
- Compounded semaglutide (tablet): $149 for the first month
- Compounded tirzepatide (injection): $99 for the first month
- Compounded tirzepatide (tablet): $199 for the first month
- Ozempic pen: $1,400/month
- Wegovy pill: $248/month
For brand semaglutide tablets, the median across the sellers we compare is $268.68/month, so SkinnyRx's $248 lands mid-market. Price is unlikely to be the deciding factor. Before you pay, compare SkinnyRx's cancellation terms with other sellers' cancellation and refund policies.
Wellorithm dispenses semaglutide and tirzepatide from $247/month, which makes it the fair comparison to run before you commit here.
What SkinnyRx dispenses
SkinnyRx prescribes semaglutide (approved as Wegovy and Ozempic) and tirzepatide (approved as Zepbound and Mounjaro). Between them these are the two best-evidenced weight-loss molecules currently on the market. The choice is between an FDA-approved pen and a compounded preparation that costs less. Compounding is lawful and often appropriate, but a compounded product is not an approved one, and the price gap is largely that difference. For what differs besides the price, see compounded semaglutide vs Ozempic and Wegovy. The Wegovy pill is priced by dose; what it costs each way you can pay compares the routes.
Safety and disclosure
SkinnyRx tells you the 47 states it serves. The FDA has issued SkinnyRx 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 SkinnyRx will not tell you, treat that as a warning sign. Across the market, the FDA's GLP-1 warning letters are mostly about what sellers said rather than what pharmacies made. How we weigh oversight, disclosure and price is set out in our scoring methodology.
Who should look elsewhere
- You need insurance to cover the cost. Check whether SkinnyRx 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.
Our read
SkinnyRx lands mid-market on price. The catch is disclosure, which is why SkinnyRx scores low on Trust & Safety: settle the pharmacy and pricing questions above before the price decides for you. Direct Meds is the nearest comparison we review, and worth reading alongside this. 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
SkinnyRx falls below our bar on oversight: the FDA has issued it a warning letter. Its brand semaglutide tablets cost $248 a month, 8% below the $268.68 median among the sellers we compare.
Before you pay SkinnyRx
Starting at $248 a month. Check today's price, then start the intake.
Where SkinnyRx is the wrong choice
No seller suits every reader, and pretending otherwise is the easiest way to sell one. On these two counts, another seller does better.
- If the standing monthly cost is what decides it, consider WellMedRx (from $49/mo).
- If you want a human checking in, not just a prescription, consider Eden.

Regulatory notice
SkinnyRx 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.
