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.
Value25%
6.5/10$149.25/month is 19% 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%
3.0/10No price appears until the medical intake is finished.
Trust & Safety15%
1.0/10The FDA has issued it a warning letter. No 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 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 $149.25, tirzepatide $224.25. That leaves out membership fees, first-month rates and insurance copays.
- Confirm that SkinnyRx serves your state before you start.
- The FDA has issued SkinnyRx 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.

Check the price yourself before you pay
Every figure here was read off SkinnyRx'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 $149.25 a month, 19% below the $185 median for compounded semaglutide across the sellers we compare
- Tirzepatide costs $224.25 a month, 10% below the $250 median for compounded tirzepatide across the sellers we compare
- The monthly price includes the medication, clinician visits and shipping
- Offers both oral and injectable options, so the format is your choice
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
- 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 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 SkinnyRx charges
The standing price at SkinnyRx is $149.25/month. That sits at the affordable end of what we see.
- Compounded semaglutide: $149.25/month
- Oral semaglutide: $199/month
- Compounded semaglutide: $249/month
- Compounded tirzepatide: $224.25/month
- Compounded tirzepatide: $224.25/month
- Compounded semaglutide: $1,400/month
For compounded semaglutide, the median across the sellers we compare is $185/month, so SkinnyRx's $149.25 is genuinely below the middle, not just advertised that way.
Found dispenses semaglutide and tirzepatide from $149/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 medication is compounded rather than dispensed as an approved pen. Compounding serves real clinical needs and is entirely lawful; what it is not is reviewed, and the cost difference reflects that.
A needle-free oral option is genuinely uncommon and is the reason some readers will look at SkinnyRx 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 SkinnyRx which states it serves, which pharmacy fills its prescriptions and what the monthly price includes. 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. The pharmacy question matters most here because the medication is compounded. If SkinnyRx 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 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.
It fits if
- the lowest standing monthly cost is what you are solving for
- injections are the thing keeping you from starting
Our read
SkinnyRx competes on price, and at $149.25/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
SkinnyRx falls below our bar on oversight: the FDA has issued it a warning letter. Read the breakdown below before you give it money.

Where SkinnyRx 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 Found.

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.
