Compounded tirzepatide
Care Clinics review
Care Clinics doesn't run a subscription. You book one tirzepatide program at a time through its booking portal, and the shortest one, four weeks at 5 mg, costs $299 in Texas. Repeated back to back, that comes to about $325 a month, with the video visit, medication and shipping included.
Who it suits
Good fit if
- You'd rather buy a fixed program than sign up for a plan that renews on its own.
- You're comfortable booking a live telehealth video visit for each program.
- You live in one of the states listed on Care Clinics' booking portal.
Look elsewhere if
- You live in California, where Care Clinics says its prices are higher.
- You want one price at every dose, since the 7.5 mg four-week program costs much more than the 5 mg one.
- You want a service that shows every price on its main site rather than in a booking tool.
What you get
Care Clinics PLLC is a group of independent telehealth providers based in Texas. Each tirzepatide program is a fixed package: a video consultation, the medication, syringes and alcohol pads, and home delivery. The FAQ says there are no memberships and no hidden fees.
Prescriptions go to 503A compounding pharmacies such as Partell Pharmacy, which ship to your home. The FAQ gives both 3 to 5 and 7 to 10 business days for delivery.
Programs are sold by strength and length. Besides the four-week 5 mg program, the portal lists a 12-week plan stepping from 2.5 mg to 7.5 mg, longer programs at 10 mg to 15 mg, and extended plans up to 18 weeks. Klarna payment plans are offered. Care Clinics' semaglutide program starts near $292 a month.
How it works
- Open the booking portal and pick your state as the service category. The list of programs and prices for that state appears without an account.
- Choose a program and book a time with a provider. A deposit holds the slot and counts toward the program price.
- Meet the provider on a telehealth audio and video call.
- If you're prescribed, the pharmacy ships the medication and supplies to your home.
- When a program runs out, book the next one. Nothing renews by itself.
Pros and cons
Pros
- Each Care Clinics program includes the video visit, medication and shipping, with no membership fee.
- Nothing auto-renews: Care Clinics sells tirzepatide as fixed 4 to 18 week programs.
- The 12-week 2.5 mg to 7.5 mg plan costs only a little more than a single 4-week program.
Cons
- The 7.5 mg four-week program costs far more than the 5 mg one, so month two can jump.
- Care Clinics' About page calls tirzepatide an approved medication, though its compounded version is not FDA-approved.
- Care Clinics' own tirzepatide page still quotes a 3-month price that differs from the booking portal.
Check before you pay
- Which page to trust
- The tirzepatide page on Care Clinics' site shows an older 3-month price. Book from the portal, where each program's current price sits next to the Book Now button.
- Your state's price
- Portal prices are set per state, and the FAQ says California costs more. Pick your own state in the portal before comparing.
- What approved means here
- Care Clinics describes tirzepatide as approved and its pharmacies as FDA approved. Compounded tirzepatide is not FDA-approved, so ask which pharmacy will fill yours.
- The booking deposit
- A deposit is taken when you book and applied to the final price. To cancel an appointment, call or email the clinic.
