Remedy Meds GLP-1 reviews are split: 4.6 out of 5 on Trustpilot and 1.2 on ConsumerAffairs. Remedy's monthly compounded semaglutide offer costs $179 for four weeks, then $299 every four weeks. This compounded medicine isn't FDA-approved. The refund guarantee needs 12 straight months and excludes anyone prescribed or using outside weight-loss medicine in the 12 months before enrollment.
The RX Index is the independent GLP-1 decision resource that scores telehealth providers and treatment paths on clinical legitimacy, care quality, transparency, access, and cost, so readers can choose the path that fits their situation.
What changes that answer:
- Tirzepatide costs more: $279 for the first four weeks, then $399. That's $5,067 for 13 four-week supplies, covering 364 days.
- It's cash only. No insurance, Medicare, or Medicaid.
- The money-back guarantee is narrow. Anyone prescribed or using a weight-loss medicine outside Remedy's program in the 12 months before enrollment is excluded.
- Check the later price of FDA-approved options. At Ro, the Wegovy pill starts at $149 for the medicine, plus membership. The listed maintenance-dose medicine costs $299 a month, plus membership.
The "goal weight or your money back" badge comes with eight rules. Below we lay out the full cost table, every rule, and a checker that flags which rules could block your claim.

RX Index Decision Verdict
A real telehealth service with mostly positive Trustpilot reviews, but its compounded plans cost more than Embody's listed plans, and its guarantee is much narrower than its ads suggest.
- Best for: Cash-pay adults whose clinician identifies a medical need for compounded treatment, who want the same price at every dose and easy video visits.
- Not ideal for: Anyone who wants verified pricing for FDA-approved medicine, has insurance that might cover a brand-name GLP-1, has Medicare or Medicaid, or is shopping compounded mainly on price.
- The factor that matters most: Whether $299 to $399 every four weeks for a compounded drug beats your other choices. Check the later price of any FDA-approved option, including membership.
In September 2025, the FDA sent Remedy a warning letter over website claims that compared its compounded drugs to FDA-approved brands. We explain the letter below.
A quick, honest limit: we read Remedy's public pages, terms, and help center, the FDA record, and review sites. We did not order medicine or test their support. What follows is what those documents say, and the questions to settle before you pay.
What does Remedy Meds cost after the first month?
On its monthly offer, Remedy charges $179 for the first four-week supply of compounded semaglutide, then $299 for each four-week supply after that. Tirzepatide is $279, then $399. These monthly offers bill every 28 days. Thirteen four-week supplies cover 364 days; your charges within a calendar year can differ.
| Compounded semaglutide | Compounded tirzepatide | |
|---|---|---|
| Advertised first 4 weeks | $179 | $279 |
| Each 4 weeks after that | $299 | $399 |
| 4th payment (about "month four") | $299 | $399 |
| 13 supplies (364 days of treatment) | $3,767 | $5,067 |
| Next 13 supplies (364 days), at unchanged prices | $3,887 | $5,187 |
| Price change when your dose goes up | None, Remedy says | None, Remedy says |
| Separate membership fee on these plans | None listed | None listed |
Prices from Remedy's semaglutide and tirzepatide pages, checked October 21, 2026. Billing cadence from Remedy's billing help. Totals are our math and assume today's prices with no breaks in treatment.
Think of it like a gym that bills every four weeks. Four weeks and a calendar month are different billing periods. That's why 12 × $299 doesn't cover 13 supplies—and it also leaves out the first-supply discount.
One more wrinkle on timing. Thirteen supplies cover 364 days. If your card is charged exactly every 28 days, starting on day 0, the 14th charge lands on day 364. So your first 365 days could show 14 charges: $4,066 for semaglutide or $5,466 for tirzepatide, which covers 392 days of medicine. Remedy's terms also say billing and shipping can happen up to 10 days early. Check your own charge dates. Don't assume the 13-charge number is what your card statement shows.
What's included, and what could cost extra?
Remedy says one price covers your medicine, unlimited video and chat visits, monthly check-ins, and free cold-packed shipping. Its help center says required lab tests are covered too. Its terms add that sales tax, and services outside the program, can cost extra.
- Medicine and supplies: On the standard plan, each package holds one vial for a four-week supply, plus needles (help center).
- Labs: Some patients must get labs before their first prescription: A1C, TSH, CMP, and a lipid panel. Remedy says the cost is covered through LabCorp, Quest, or BioReference, and it accepts results from the past 24 months (help center).
- Could cost extra: Remedy's terms say prices don't include sales tax. They also say a clinician may ask for consults or lab tests that aren't part of the program.
- Not verified for purchase in this review: Prices for the microdose plan, brand-name Ozempic or Zepbound, and the 3-, 6-, and 12-month bundles Remedy's terms mention. If you're quoted one, screenshot it before you pay. We don't count an unknown price as zero. The terms say longer subscription terms are charged upfront in full at the amount shown at checkout.
The right GLP-1 provider isn't the same for everyone. It depends on your state, your insurance and formulary (the list of medicines your plan covers), whether you want FDA-approved or compounded medicine, a shot or a pill, and your budget. Before you choose, The RX Index's Find My GLP-1 Path tool takes about 2 minutes, is free, and needs no signup. Answer a few quick questions and see the GLP-1 paths and providers that fit you.
Does Remedy Meds' money-back guarantee really pay?
Remedy's Weight Loss Warranty offers a refund of the program fees from your first 12 months if you don't reach the goal weight you set when you joined. It applies only if you meet every condition in its terms. That includes 12 straight months, all 13 required shipments, and standard-dose compounded semaglutide or tirzepatide the whole time. Shipment gaps are excused only when caused by Remedy. We did not verify any paid warranty claim.
Here are the eight rules from Remedy's Terms of Service, Section 5(h), last updated June 4, 2026, in plain words:
- New customers only. Your sign-up weight has to be accurate, and you set your goal weight at sign-up.
- Twelve straight months. Any pause, lapse, or cancellation, for any reason, ends it.
- The right medicine the whole year. Standard-dose compounded semaglutide or tirzepatide only. Being prescribed or switched to any brand-name GLP-1, including Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, or Zepbound, or using the microdose plan, even once, ends it.
- Thirteen shipments, every 28 days. You fill out every refill form on time. A missed or late shipment that isn't Remedy's fault ends it.
- Follow your clinician's instructions for the full 12 months.
- No outside weight-loss medicine prescribed or used in the 12 months before you join. If you're switching after a prescription or treatment from another GLP-1 provider during that period, this rule means you can't use the guarantee.
- A realistic goal. Your goal can't be more than 20% below your starting weight, and it can't put you under a BMI of 18.5. Dropping to a BMI of 18.5 or lower during the year ends it.
- Claim on time, with proof. Email support@remedymeds.com within 35 days after the shipment date of your 13th shipment. Choose either a licensed clinician's written weight check, due within 14 days after your claim email, or a video no longer than 30 seconds, due within 24 hours after receiving Remedy's five-character code. The clinician's note must give your current weight, percentage lost, and measurement date. The video must show you on a calibrated scale with a clear reading while you say the code.
If you qualify, the refund is all program fees you paid in those 12 months. The 13-supply cost table is not a refund quote: your plan and actual payments control the amount. The cost of a doctor's weight check isn't refunded. Remedy makes the final call.
Remedy disagrees with itself on one point. Its product pages say the guarantee is "only valid for month-to-month plans." Its terms say it applies to monthly plans and to 3-, 6-, and 12-month bundles. If you're thinking about a bundle, ask support which rule applies to you, and get the answer in writing.
The guarantee is narrow. It is written for people who stay a full year and meet every rule. Don't treat it as a free trial, or stay on an unsuitable treatment to protect a possible refund. Ask your clinician what to do if treatment stops fitting your needs.
Check the warranty rules against your plan
Answer a few questions to spot a rule that could block your claim. This checks the written rules before you enroll; it cannot confirm a future refund. Nothing you type is saved.
Remedy Meds Guarantee Checker
Before enrollment, use this local rule check to flag possible conflicts with the published Weight Loss Warranty and questions that remain unanswered. It is not a medical recommendation, an eligibility decision, or a refund decision. Every field is optional; no answer is preselected.
The entry ranges below are tool limits, not Remedy eligibility rules. Do not change a real weight or treatment to make a result pass.
80–700 lb; up to one decimal place.
70–700 lb; up to one decimal place.
This checker runs in your browser and saves nothing.
A worked example: Say you're 5'6", start at 200 pounds, and want to reach 150. Twenty percent of 200 is 40, so the lowest goal the guarantee allows is 160 pounds. Your 150-pound goal wouldn't count. At 160 pounds and 5'6", your BMI would be about 25.8. That passes these two warranty calculations. It is not a suggested weight goal, and the other rules still apply.
What Remedy's ads say vs. what its own terms say
Remedy's product pages, terms, and help center do not always say the same thing. Here's the side-by-side, so you know what to settle before you pay.
| What Remedy's pages say | What its terms and help center say | What it means for you |
|---|---|---|
| Hit your goal weight or get your money back | The 8 rules above, including 12 straight months and 13 shipments; gaps caused by Remedy are excepted | A missed required refill or a switch to an excluded treatment can end eligibility |
| Guarantee "only valid for month-to-month plans" | Guarantee applies to monthly plans and 3-, 6-, 12-month bundles | Remedy contradicts itself. Ask in writing |
| "Your price never rises — even if dose does" | The product page promises a retained rate; the terms allow fee changes with 30 days' notice | Ask which price-lock promise applies to your plan; the public wording conflicts |
| "Not prescribed? You're never charged" | You pay at intake. The help center promises a full initial refund for clinical ineligibility, but the terms make the initial-payment exception depend on checkout | Save the refund wording shown at checkout before paying |
| Cancel anytime | Give at least 48 hours' notice before the current term ends. No partial refunds. Billing can come up to 10 days early | Confirm the earliest next charge date and cancel as soon as you decide to stop |
| Your plan is for the medicine you chose | A clinician may switch your product. Staying enrolled counts as saying yes, and charges continue | Ask what you'll get before each refill |
| You get a shipment every 28 days on the monthly plan | You're charged every 28 days on that plan even if you skip the refill form and nothing ships | Charges don't stop on their own |
| "94.6% of members hit their goal" (product pages) | The homepage defines the same 94.6% as members who lost 5% or more, based on members' own reported weights | Same number, two meanings. We can't verify it |
| Member before-and-after photos | Remedy discloses these members were paid | Read them as ads, not typical results |
| Average loss of about 15% (semaglutide) and 21% (tirzepatide) | No source given on those pages | Those figures resemble published results for FDA-approved Wegovy and Zepbound. The pages give no trial proving those results for Remedy's compounded products |

Questions to ask Remedy before you pay
Copy this and send it to support@remedymeds.com before you check out. Keep the written answer with your checkout terms.
Before I enroll, please confirm: (1) which medicine and form I'd receive, and which pharmacy will fill it; (2) the full amount charged today and how many weeks it covers; (3) my next charge date and amount; (4) any lab, visit, or tax charges beyond the plan price; (5) the cancellation deadline; (6) the refund if I'm not prescribed treatment; and (7) whether the Weight Loss Warranty applies to my treatment history and the plan I pick.
Don't put health details in that email unless support asks for them through your secure portal.
Is Remedy Meds legit?
Yes, Remedy Meds is a real telehealth company. Its terms name the medical groups and say licensed clinicians decide whether to prescribe. New patients need a virtual appointment first. The compounded plans reviewed here are not FDA-approved. In September 2025, the FDA sent Remedy a warning letter over its marketing.
What checks out:
- Who runs it: Its terms identify Remedy Meds LLC as a Delaware company and name these clinical groups: OpenLoop Healthcare Partners PC, JMP Medical PA, and KMG Medical Group MO PC (Terms §2).
- A real visit: New patients must have a virtual appointment before they start (help center).
- Honest labels: Remedy's homepage says plainly that the FDA hasn't evaluated its compounded medicines for safety, quality, or effectiveness. It also says its testimonial members were paid.
- Adults only: You must be 18 or older (Terms §1).
- Where it serves: Remedy's terms say all 50 states plus DC. Confirm that your treatment is offered in your state during intake.
What's missing: The public pages we read don't name the pharmacy that makes your medicine. They say "licensed U.S. pharmacies" and "503A compounded," and the help center mentions "several pharmacy partners." Ask which pharmacy will fill your vial, then check its license with your state's board of pharmacy. Our guide on avoiding fake GLP-1s online shows how.
Why did the FDA send Remedy Meds a warning letter?
On September 9, 2025, the FDA said Remedy's website made false or misleading claims about its compounded drugs. The site had said its compounded semaglutide had the "same active ingredient" as Ozempic and Wegovy, and its compounded tirzepatide the same as Mounjaro and Zepbound. The FDA said those lines suggested the products were the same as FDA-approved drugs, and they are not.
The letter cited the federal drug law's rules against false or misleading labeling and promotion (sections 502(a) and 502(bb)). It asked Remedy to fix the claims and respond within 15 working days. You can read the full letter on fda.gov.
What it is, and isn't:
- It is a formal notice from the FDA about how Remedy marketed its products.
- It isn't a recall, a finding that a patient was harmed, or a court ruling.
- When we checked on October 21, 2026, the FDA page showed no posted close-out letter. We're not calling the matter resolved or unresolved, because the public record doesn't say.
Remedy wasn't alone. The FDA announced warning letters to 30 telehealth companies on March 3, 2026. Our compounded GLP-1 enforcement tracker lists enforcement actions by date.
What "compounded" means for your decision
Compounded drugs are mixed by a pharmacy for a patient. They don't go through FDA review for safety, effectiveness, or quality before they're sold. That's different from brand-name Wegovy, Zepbound, Ozempic, and Mounjaro, which did.
Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide grew during drug shortages. The FDA has since declared those shortages over: tirzepatide on December 19, 2024, and semaglutide on February 21, 2025. Some patient-specific compounding can still meet federal rules. When relying on a patient-specific change, the prescriber must document why it makes a significant difference for that patient, and the other compounding rules still apply. A lower price alone does not establish that difference.
So a fair question for any compounded program is: why is this a better fit for me than the FDA-approved drug? Your clinician should be able to answer. Our guides on compounded vs. name-brand GLP-1s and whether compounded GLP-1s are still available go deeper.
What real Remedy Meds GLP-1 reviews say
Remedy scores 4.6 out of 5 on Trustpilot from more than 13,700 reviews, but 1.2 out of 5 on ConsumerAffairs from 189 reviews. People praise friendly, easy-to-reach clinicians and on-time shipments. Complaints focus on charges after canceling, charges with no shipment, late or warm deliveries, and trouble reaching billing.
| Review site | Score (checked Oct 21, 2026) | Who posts | What it's good for | Its limits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Trustpilot | 4.6/5; more than 13,700 reviews; 86% five-star, 6% one-star; 5,631 in the past 12 months | Invited and unprompted reviewers | How visits and support feel day to day | Remedy invites positive and negative reviews. Submitted reviews are not a measure of treatment results |
| ConsumerAffairs | 1.2/5; 189 reviews; 91% one-star; updated Oct 20, 2026 | People who submit reviews to ConsumerAffairs | Spotting billing, refund, and shipping problems | Small sample. Weighted toward the last 24 months. Not a complaint rate |
Neither number tells you what will happen to you. Most submitted Trustpilot reviews are positive. Most on this ConsumerAffairs profile are critical. Read both, then read the billing rules above. Many of the complaints we read involve rules that are written into Remedy's terms.
What members praise: clinicians who listen and aren't rushed, video visits that are easy to book, fast replies, and medicine that arrives on time and cold. A reviewer named Cathy wrote on Trustpilot: "Excellent conference call."
What members complain about: charges after asking to cancel, monthly charges with no medicine sent, pharmacy changes, warm or late packages, and a billing team that works by email only. Some say a clinician wouldn't raise their dose. A reviewer named Heidi wrote on Trustpilot: "Short appointment good. Waiting 10 days for product bad."
Remedy posted replies to negative reviews on the Trustpilot profile we checked. A reply isn't the same as a fix, but it shows someone is reading.
How Remedy Meds works, start to first shipment
For the monthly compounded offer, you take a short online quiz, pay for your first four weeks, and meet a clinician by video. If you're approved, a four-week vial ships from a U.S. compounding pharmacy. After that, you fill out a refill form about every three weeks to get your next shipment.
- Quiz and payment. Remedy advertises a two-minute quiz. You're charged when you finish the intake. The help center promises a full initial refund if a clinician finds you ineligible, but the terms make that exception depend on checkout. Save the refund wording before paying.
- Your clinician visit. New patients need a virtual appointment. Some patients also need labs first; you can upload results from the past 24 months.
- First shipment. One vial for four weeks, plus needles. Remedy advertises free 48-hour cold-chain FedEx delivery. We didn't test delivery times.
- Refills. About three weeks after each fill, Remedy sends a refill form. Fill it out to get the next box. Microdose patients fill it out every three months. If you skip it, you're still charged (help center).
Switching from another provider? Upload a photo of your current prescription and book a visit. The clinician decides your starting dose (help center). Remedy's sales pages promise "same dose, day one," but its own help article leaves that to the clinician, so don't count on it. Also remember rule 6: if you were prescribed or used a weight-loss medicine outside Remedy's program in the 12 months before enrollment, the guarantee won't apply to you. If you're thinking about moving from compounded to brand-name instead, see our guides on switching from compounded semaglutide to Wegovy and switching from compounded tirzepatide to Zepbound.
If your clinician identifies a medical need for compounded treatment, you've weighed the cost and the fine print, and a flat price at every dose with easy video visits is what you want, you can review Remedy's current plans. Screenshot the price and your next charge date before you pay.
The microdose plan is described by Remedy as smaller doses split into two weekly shots. We did not verify its current purchase price, and it's excluded from the guarantee. Ask your clinician whether it fits you. Our microdosing guide explains what's known.
When a box arrives warm or damaged, don't guess. The FDA says not to use injectable GLP-1 drugs that arrive warm or without enough refrigeration. Call the pharmacy named on the label and your Remedy care team. Remedy's support line is (551) 239-9025, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. ET, seven days a week.
Does Remedy Meds take insurance, Medicare, or HSA/FSA?
Remedy is cash-pay only and doesn't accept any insurance, including Medicare and Medicaid. Its homepage says it accepts HSA/FSA payments. Whether the IRS treats your purchase as a qualified medical expense is a separate question.
These are four different questions, so here are four short answers:
| Question | Answer for Remedy |
|---|---|
| Does Remedy bill insurance? | No. Remedy's terms say it's cash-pay only |
| Can I use a manufacturer savings card for these compounded plans? | No. Brand-name drug savings cards do not pay for compounded products |
| Will Remedy take my HSA or FSA card? | Its homepage says "HSA/FSA accepted"; confirm your card at checkout |
| Is it a qualified expense for tax purposes? | It depends on IRS rules and your plan. See are compounded GLP-1s HSA/FSA eligible? |
If you have Medicare: start with the federal program, not a telehealth company. See our Medicare GLP-1 Bridge guide.
If you have Medicaid: your state's rules come first. See what GLP-1s Medicaid covers and GLP-1 providers that accept Medicaid.
If you have job-based or marketplace insurance, check whether your plan covers a brand-name GLP-1 before you pay $299 cash every four weeks. You might need prior authorization: your insurer must review and approve the prescription before covering it. That alone does not guarantee the final claim will be paid.
Say you're 45, have a plan through work, and don't know if it covers Zepbound. Thirteen four-week supplies from Remedy cost $3,767 to $5,067 at today's prices. A coverage check can identify a covered option; approval and your cost still depend on your plan and prescription. Ro offers a free insurance check for Ozempic, Wegovy, and Zepbound autoinjector pens. It does not check Wegovy pill or Zepbound KwikPen coverage. Its paid program's insurance concierge handles prior-authorization paperwork; joining that program is a separate step. Ro's membership is separate from the medicine: get started for $39, then as low as $74/month with an annual plan paid upfront ($888), or $149 a month on its monthly plan.
How Remedy's price compares
Embody's published compounded prices are lower than Remedy's. FDA-approved costs depend on the medicine, dose, insurance, and membership. Which comparison matters depends on whether you want compounded or FDA-approved medicine.
| Path | Medicine type | Published starting price | Later price and billing terms | Checked |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Remedy Meds, semaglutide | Compounded (not FDA-approved) | $179 for 4 weeks | $299 every 4 weeks, at any dose | Oct 21, 2026 |
| Remedy Meds, tirzepatide | Compounded (not FDA-approved) | $279 for 4 weeks | $399 every 4 weeks, at any dose | Oct 21, 2026 |
| Embody, semaglutide | Compounded (not FDA-approved) | Terms list $79/month on a monthly plan; checkout total not verified | Terms list $79/month, or $69/month on a 12-month bundle; confirm billing interval and amount due | Oct 21, 2026 |
| Embody, tirzepatide | Compounded (not FDA-approved) | Terms list $129/month on a monthly plan; checkout total not verified | Terms list $129/month, or $119/month on a 12-month bundle; confirm billing interval and amount due | Oct 21, 2026 |
| Ro + Wegovy pill | FDA-approved | $188 for the first month ($39 membership + $149 at the 1.5 mg starter dose) | $448/month at the labeled 25 mg maintenance dose: $299 medicine + $149 monthly membership; other plans have different costs | Oct 21, 2026 |
| Ro + Zepbound KwikPen | FDA-approved | $338 initially: $39 for the first membership month + $299 for a 28-day supply at the 2.5 mg starter dose | Medicine: $399 per 28 days at 5 mg; $449 at 7.5–15 mg with the refill offer. Add $149/month for monthly membership | Oct 21, 2026 |
Sources: Remedy product pages; Embody Terms & Conditions (updated April 24, 2026) and homepage; Ro pricing page; Wegovy prescribing information; and Lilly's Zepbound offer terms. Checked October 21, 2026.
Ro lists Wegovy pill medicine at $149 for 1.5 mg, $199 for 4 mg, and $299 for 9 mg or the 25 mg maintenance dose. Zepbound's 2.5 mg price is for starting treatment, not ongoing maintenance. To keep Lilly's $449 offer, complete the refill purchase within 45 days after receiving the prior fill. A supply is 28 days; without the offer, listed prices at those higher doses are $499 to $699, plus any taxes and fees.
Ro's $74/month annual membership means $888 paid upfront, with medicine extra. Ro's terms generally make prepaid membership fees nonrefundable. Embody's refund policy, updated August 25, 2026, has a clinician-initiated medical-ineligibility exception for unused services, less services already provided. Its homepage uses 4-, 12-, 24-, and 52-week plan lengths, while its terms use months. Confirm the exact term and charge before treating an advertised monthly rate as a checkout total.
What the table shows:
- Cheapest compounded option here: Embody's listed prices are far lower than Remedy's, and Embody names its four partner pharmacies on its homepage.
- Compare the later bill: Ro's Wegovy pill starts at $188 including the first membership month, then costs $448/month at the labeled maintenance dose with monthly membership. That is more than Remedy's $299 every four weeks for compounded semaglutide.
- What Remedy includes: the same listed price at every dose, no separate membership fee, unlimited video visits, and a conditional refund guarantee for people who meet all eight rules.
Compounded and FDA-approved aren't the same product, so price isn't the whole choice. If you'd like help weighing it, our GLP-1 cost calculator and best GLP-1 online programs guide compare more paths. For a two-way matchup, see MEDVi vs. Remedy Meds.
If your clinician identifies a medical need for compounded treatment and price matters most to you, Embody lists lower monthly prices. Confirm the amount due, plan length, billing interval, and renewal price at checkout.
How to cancel Remedy Meds and check your next charge
Log in to your Remedy portal, open the Profile tab, and choose Cancel. Remedy requires at least 48 hours' notice before your current term ends, but allows billing up to 10 days early. Confirm the earliest next charge date and cancel as soon as you decide to stop. Canceling a renewal does not refund a charge already made.
| What you need | Where to go |
|---|---|
| Stop renewals | Portal → Profile → Cancel (help center) |
| Question or dispute a charge | Email billing@remedymeds.com. Remedy says billing works by email only (help center) |
| Refund if you weren't prescribed | The help center promises a full initial refund for clinical ineligibility; the terms make the initial-payment exception depend on checkout. Send support the refund wording you saved |
| Charged but no refill came | Email billing with your charge date and ask for your refill status (help center) |
| Anything else | support@remedymeds.com or (551) 239-9025, 8 a.m.–8 p.m. ET |
Before you cancel:
- Check your term-end date and earliest next charge date in the portal or with billing. Billing can come up to 10 days early.
- Cancel as soon as you decide to stop. Ask for confirmation that it will take effect before any early charge.
- Screenshot the confirmation with the date showing.
- If you're charged after canceling, email billing with that screenshot.
Remedy's terms say it doesn't give partial refunds, so you keep getting service until the end of the period you paid for.
If you're leaving because Remedy wasn't the right fit, Find My GLP-1 Path can show you what might fit next.
Side effects and safety
Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide are not FDA-approved, and the FDA has reported dosing errors with compounded GLP-1 drugs. Your clinician decides what's safe for you, and you should never change your dose on your own.
- Common side effects in the FDA-approved drug labels include nausea, vomiting, upset stomach, stomach pain, constipation, and diarrhea. The Wegovy and Zepbound labels do not establish side-effect rates for Remedy's compounded products.
- Thyroid warning: Wegovy and Zepbound carry boxed warnings because thyroid C-cell tumors occurred in rodents; whether they cause these tumors in humans is unknown. Tell your clinician right away if you notice a lump or swelling in your neck, hoarseness, trouble swallowing, or shortness of breath (prescribing information linked above).
- Measuring your own dose: Remedy's standard plan ships one vial that holds four weeks of doses, so you draw each dose into a syringe yourself. Ask your clinician or pharmacist to walk you through it before your first shot.
- An opened vial has a time limit: The FDA recommends discarding a multi-dose sterile vial within 28 days after first use, even if medicine remains or the compounder says it can be kept longer.
Get urgent care for severe stomach pain that won't go away, trouble breathing, or signs of an allergic reaction.
Talk with your own doctor first if you're pregnant or trying to be, have type 1 diabetes, or have a history of an eating disorder. The FDA-approved Wegovy and Zepbound labels say not to use those drugs with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer or multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2). Tell your clinician about either condition before considering treatment. Our guides on who shouldn't take a GLP-1 and GLP-1s and pregnancy explain why. Remedy only treats adults 18 and older. For side-by-side side effects, see our GLP-1 side effects chart.

Provider-stated, not independently proved by us: member results and the 94.6% figure, 48-hour shipping, the Forbes "Best of 2026" badge, batch-testing results, and LegitScript status (Remedy shows the seal; we didn't check the registry).
We couldn't confirm: which pharmacy would fill your order; current purchase prices for Remedy's bundles, microdose plan, or brand-name drugs; Embody's checkout total and exact billing interval; or whether the FDA has closed out its letter.
We did not buy from Remedy, test its medicine, or contact its support.
Our methodology weighs six factors: clinical legitimacy and safety (25%), care and support model (20%), medication options and fit (15%), transparency and honest terms (15%), value / true cost (15%), and access and speed (10%). This review gives a Decision Verdict, not a numeric score.
Remedy Meds FAQ
Is Remedy Meds legit?
Yes. Remedy Meds is a real telehealth company. Its terms name medical groups and say licensed clinicians make prescribing decisions. New patients need a virtual visit first. The compounded plans reviewed here aren't FDA-approved, and the FDA sent Remedy a warning letter in September 2025 over its marketing claims.
How much does Remedy Meds cost per month?
Compounded semaglutide is $179 for the first four weeks, then $299 every four weeks. Tirzepatide is $279, then $399. Thirteen supplies cover 364 days and cost $3,767 for semaglutide or $5,067 for tirzepatide. Your calendar-year charges can differ.
Does Remedy Meds take insurance?
No. Remedy is cash-pay only and doesn't accept insurance, Medicare, or Medicaid. Remedy says it accepts HSA/FSA payments; whether your expense qualifies under IRS and plan rules is a separate question. If you have insurance, check whether your plan covers a brand-name GLP-1 before you pay cash.
Is Remedy Meds medication FDA-approved?
The compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide plans reviewed here are not FDA-approved. The FDA doesn't review those compounded products for safety, effectiveness, or quality before sale. Remedy also lists brand-name Ozempic and Zepbound, which are FDA-approved, but we did not verify their current purchase prices.
Does Remedy Meds' money-back guarantee work?
It offers a refund only if you meet all eight rules; we did not verify paid claims. You need 12 straight months, all 13 required shipments, and standard-dose compounded medicine throughout. Shipment gaps are excused only when caused by Remedy. A prescription for or use of outside weight-loss medicine in the 12 months before enrollment excludes you. File within 35 days after shipment 13's shipment date. Our checker flags possible barriers; it cannot confirm a refund.
Why was I charged when no medication came?
On the monthly plan, Remedy charges every 28 days whether or not you fill out the refill form. If you skip the form, no box ships, but the charge still posts. Email billing@remedymeds.com with your charge date, and ask about your refill status.
How do I cancel Remedy Meds?
Log in to your portal, open Profile, and choose Cancel. The terms require at least 48 hours' notice before the current term ends, but billing can come up to 10 days early. Confirm the earliest charge date, cancel as soon as you decide to stop, and screenshot your confirmation. Remedy doesn't give partial refunds for the rest of a paid period.
What states does Remedy Meds serve?
Remedy's terms say it serves all 50 states plus Washington, D.C. Confirm that your treatment is offered in your state during intake.
Can I switch to Remedy from another GLP-1 provider?
You can request a transfer by uploading your current prescription and booking a visit; the clinician decides whether to prescribe and sets your dose. If you were prescribed or used a weight-loss medicine outside Remedy's program in the 12 months before enrollment, its money-back guarantee won't apply to you.
Is Remedy Meds cheaper than Embody or Ro?
Embody's terms list lower compounded prices: $79/month for semaglutide and $129/month for tirzepatide on monthly plans; confirm its billing interval and checkout total. Ro's FDA-approved Wegovy pill starts at $188 including the first membership month. At the labeled maintenance dose, it is $448/month with monthly membership. Remedy includes every dose at the same listed price, with no separate membership fee.
