Compounded tirzepatide
Aspen review
Aspen's monthly tirzepatide plan renews at $399 once a calendar month, and the checkout says that price covers every dose. The first charge is lower, $299, because of an introductory discount. You enter your card before the medical intake, but Aspen charges it only if a prescription is approved.
Who it suits
Good fit if
- You want one monthly figure that stays put as your tirzepatide dose goes up.
- You'd like cold-pack shipping, supplies and the physician consult folded into a single charge.
- You want to try a single month before deciding on a longer plan.
Look elsewhere if
- You live in Louisiana or Mississippi, which Aspen's FAQ says it can't serve.
- You'd rather skip upsell screens, since picking the monthly plan triggers an offer to switch to six months.
What you get
The Monthly Plan is a 4-week supply of compounded tirzepatide. Needles, instructions and the physician consult are included, and the checkout lists no separate fees. Aspen's weight-loss page says its formulas are compounded with glycine or B12. Your provider starts you low and raises the dose every 4 weeks.
Aspen Health Systems runs the platform and says it is not a healthcare provider. Independent licensed providers decide whether to prescribe, and U.S. 503A compounding pharmacies fill the orders. The site doesn't name a pharmacy.
Longer plans cost less per month but are paid up front. The 3-month, 6-month and 12-month options all come in under the monthly price. Multi-month plans can't be refunded for unused medication.
How it works
- Choose tirzepatide and the Monthly Plan on Aspen's checkout. Decline the six-month upgrade if you want to stay month to month.
- Enter your shipping address and card. The charge goes through only if a prescription is approved.
- Complete the medical intake in the patient portal. Aspen says a doctor reviews it within 24 hours, often in under 5.
- Once you're approved, the pharmacy ships by next-day UPS in a temperature-controlled box. Weekend orders go out on Monday.
- Each renewal needs a short refill intake so a provider can review your dose before the next month ships.
Pros and cons
Pros
- Aspen's checkout promises the same price at all dosage levels, so $399 holds from the first dose to the highest.
- If no prescription is approved, Aspen says you get a full refund.
- Cold-pack shipping by next-day UPS is included in the $399 monthly charge.
Cons
- The $299 first charge is a one-time discount, and every renewal after it is $399.
- You must cancel at least 4 business days before the renewal date, or that month still bills.
- No compounding pharmacy is named anywhere on Aspen's site.
Check before you pay
- Cancel before the renewal
- Aspen's refund policy says the plan renews automatically unless you cancel at least four business days before the renewal is processed. The first renewal may also be charged early to avoid a gap in treatment.
- Your state
- Aspen's FAQ says it can't serve Louisiana or Mississippi. The checkout footer says all 50 states, so confirm yours before paying.
- The weight-loss guarantee
- The money-back guarantee has strict terms. You need 28 straight weeks of doses, a weekly progress log and a tirzepatide dose of at least 10 mg.

Aspen questions
- Is Aspen legit?
- Aspen is a cash-pay telehealth platform run by Aspen Health Systems LLC in Sheridan, Wyoming. Independent licensed providers prescribe, and U.S. 503A compounding pharmacies fill the orders. Compounded tirzepatide is not Zepbound or Mounjaro and is not FDA-approved, which Aspen states on its pages.
- How much is Aspen tirzepatide per month?
- The Monthly Plan renews at $399 once a calendar month, at any dose. The first charge is $299 with an introductory discount. Prepaid 6-month and 12-month plans cost less per month but are billed up front.
- Does Aspen take insurance?
- No. Aspen is cash-pay. It gives itemized receipts you can send to your HSA or FSA administrator yourself.
- Can you cancel Aspen?
- Yes. Cancel the monthly plan from the patient dashboard or by email, at least four business days before renewal. There's no refund for a partly used month, and shipped medication can't be returned.
