By MatchScript EditorialUpdated

A compounded GLP-1 program with injections and tablets on both molecules and a named medical director, advertising a '$99 first month' without saying what month two costs.

Regulatory notice

FDA issued Lean Rx, Inc. dba SkinnyRx a warning letter in February 2026. You can read it in FDA's warning-letter database. We still list SkinnyRx, and we may earn a commission if you start care through the link on this page.

SkinnyRx offers compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide as weekly injections or daily tablets, with microdose options, a named medical director and an app that handles reminders and meal ideas.

Best for: Shoppers who want a tablet as well as an injection on either molecule, and who will get the month-two price in writing before paying.

MatchScript's take: Injections and tablets on both molecules with a '$99 first month' offer — but no published price for month two.

The factor breakdown

SkinnyRx on the six Match Score factors — the same sub-scores the quiz reweights to your priorities. See the methodology.

Budget Fit48/100

No standing monthly price is published — only a first-month offer — so Budget Fit sits at the neutral 48 for a price that can't be read before the intake.

Speed to Start68/100

Limited or undisclosed state coverage can slow your start, for a below-par 68 on Speed to Start.

Formulary Match77/100

Both molecules by both routes — injection and tablet — earn a 77. It is not higher because the brand-name pills are marked unavailable and sit behind a separate membership.

Support Level70/100

Support Level scores 70/100 in our comparison. Confirm who answers clinical questions, how to reach them and whether follow-up visits cost extra.

Flexibility63/100

Flexibility scores 63/100 in our comparison. Check the renewal, cancellation and refund terms before paying; dose changes require a prescriber's approval.

Transparency60/100

A named medical director and plain compounded-drug disclosures help, but an introductory price with no stated month-two rate, no named pharmacy and no state list hold Transparency to 60.

Pricing in context

What we found on their site

Read on SkinnyRx's own website in October 2026. Quoted text is theirs.

  • The injectable semaglutide page shows "$99 first month" and no price for later months, under a banner reading "$99 GLP-1 Injections: While Supplies Last".
  • The page lists "No contracts or commitments – cancel anytime" and "Money-back guarantee if you're not approved".
  • Its FAQ says that after the intake "you may have a quick video visit or receive a prescription directly within 24 hours", depending on your health needs and state.

What we like

  • Both molecules by both routes: compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide as a weekly injection or a once-daily tablet, with microdose options
  • Names its medical director, Sajad Zalzala, M.D.
  • Unlimited access to the care team and providers, free overnight shipping, and an app with medication reminders and meal ideas
  • No charge if you are not eligible — a full refund within 24–48 hours, per its FAQ
  • FSA and HSA cards accepted, with Affirm financing offered

The caveats

  • The product pages show only a first-month price — "$99 first month" for either injection, $149 and $199 for the tablets — and no standing monthly rate appears before the intake
  • Bundled subscriptions are non-refundable, and canceling a committed term early can claw back the discount you received
  • Brand-name Wegovy and Foundayo pills are marked unavailable and are offered only through a separate SkinnyRx Membership
  • Depending on your state, a video visit may be required before a prescription
  • No dispensing pharmacy is named, and no list of states served is published
  • Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide are not FDA-approved medicines

SkinnyRx, answered

Is SkinnyRx legit?

SkinnyRx is a real, operating GLP-1 telehealth program. LegitScript certification is the third-party check worth asking for — look for the seal on their site and confirm your prescriber is US-licensed at intake. It doesn't publish whether it dispenses compounded or brand-name medication, so ask which one you're being prescribed.

How much does SkinnyRx cost?

SkinnyRx doesn't publish a clear compounded-semaglutide price up front. You'll typically see full pricing after the intake questionnaire. Get the all-in monthly number in writing before you pay.

Does SkinnyRx ship to my state?

SkinnyRx doesn't publish a full state list, so confirm your state is covered during intake before you pay.

SkinnyRx vs WellMedr — which should I pick?

They score within a few points of each other: SkinnyRx at 64/100 and WellMedr at 65/100, so neither wins on the headline number. SkinnyRx is the better fit for shoppers who want a tablet as well as an injection on either molecule, and who will get the month-two price in writing before paying. WellMedr suits people who want a low-dose or oral GLP-1 product or a brand-name option, and who are prepared to learn the real monthly price during sign-up. Run the quiz and the weighting shifts to whichever of those matters more to you.

Verdict · Grade C · 64/100

SkinnyRx offers compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide as weekly injections or daily tablets, with microdose options, a named medical director and an app that handles reminders and meal ideas. Its product pages now lead with an introductory price — "$99 first month" for either injection, $149 or $199 for the tablets — and do not show what you pay from the second month, so the real monthly cost only appears inside a 15-step intake. That is the main thing to resolve before you buy. If you are not eligible you get a full refund, and month-to-month plans can be canceled, but bundled plans are non-refundable and canceling a committed term early can reverse the discount. The brand-name pills are listed as unavailable. FDA issued Lean Rx, Inc. dba SkinnyRx a warning letter in February 2026; it is in FDA's searchable database, and it does not change this score. Worth a look if you want a tablet route — get the month-two price in writing first.
