- Both headline prices carry the same footnote tying them to a year of supply: "Compounded Semaglutide $130/month *" and "Compounded Tirzepatide $190/month *", where "* Price for purchase of 12 month supply."
- A site-wide banner runs a discount code — "Use code SAVEMORE for up to $300 off GLP-1" — scrolling across the top of the page.

Effecty, answered
Is Effecty legit?
Yes — Effecty is LegitScript-certified, a third-party check that a telehealth pharmacy operates within the rules. Like most programs here it dispenses compounded GLP-1s, which are made by a licensed pharmacy but aren't FDA-approved; confirm your prescriber is US-licensed at intake.
How much does Effecty cost?
Effecty lists compounded semaglutide from $195/mo and tirzepatide from $275/mo — below our category median of $199/mo. These are the provider's public figures at our last review (August 2026); confirm on their site, since some teaser tiers step up after month one.
Does Effecty ship to my state?
Yes — Effecty reports availability in all 50 states, so most people can start within days.
