Compounded tirzepatide
Effecty review
Effecty's monthly tirzepatide plan renews at $235, the same at every dose, with no membership fee added. The lower number in its banner is a first-order discount, not the ongoing price. Your card is only held at checkout and isn't charged unless a provider writes the prescription.
Who it suits
Good fit if
- You don't want to pay anything if a provider turns you down.
- You plan to raise your dose over time and want the bill to stay put.
- You'd like to message a provider around the clock by chat instead of booking video calls.
Look elsewhere if
- You need your insurer involved, since Effecty won't issue superbills or talk to insurance companies.
- You want to know the name of the compounding pharmacy before you order.
What you get
Effecty sells compounded tirzepatide on four plans. Monthly is billed each month at $235. The 3-month, 6-month and 12-month plans are billed per term at lower monthly rates, and each gives a bigger discount on the first order. The product page says the price is the same at every dose.
Every plan includes the prescription if you qualify, injection supplies, free expedited shipping and ongoing support through 24/7 secure messaging. Effecty describes itself as a technology platform. Independent licensed providers make the medical decisions, and state-licensed compounding pharmacies fill the orders.
How it works
- Choose tirzepatide and a plan length, then fill in the medical questionnaire.
- Enter a card. Effecty places a hold rather than a charge and releases it if no prescription is written.
- A provider licensed in your state contacts you within 24 hours through a chat-based visit.
- After the prescription is written, Effecty says shipping can take up to 5 to 7 business days, sent by free two-day delivery.
- Your plan renews on its term. Keep messaging your provider for dose changes while it's active.
Pros and cons
Pros
- Effecty's tirzepatide price holds at every dose, so $235 a month doesn't rise as you step up.
- No charge lands until a prescription is written; before that Effecty only places a card hold.
- Effecty offers Affirm and Klarna if you'd rather split a longer plan into payments.
Cons
- The pharmacy isn't named; Effecty says only that it uses state-licensed compounding pharmacies.
- Canceling means emailing support with the subject line "Cancel my account"; there's no self-serve button described.
- Once a prescription reaches the pharmacy, Effecty can cancel only future shipments, not that order.
Check before you pay
- The first-order discount
- The starting price on the tirzepatide page is the monthly plan after its first-month discount. From the second month, the plan renews at $235.
- How to cancel
- Email support with the subject line "Cancel my account" before your order goes to the pharmacy. After that point, only later shipments can be stopped.
- Insurance claims
- Effecty doesn't take insurance. You can send your own receipts to your insurer, but Effecty won't provide superbills or help with the claim.

Effecty questions
- Is Effecty legit?
- Effecty LLC runs a telehealth platform that connects patients with independent, board-certified providers licensed in their state. It doesn't prescribe or dispense drugs itself. Its tirzepatide is compounded, so it isn't Zepbound or Mounjaro and has no FDA approval, which Effecty states on the product page.
- How much is Effecty tirzepatide per month?
- $235 on the monthly plan, billed each month, at any dose. Supplies, shipping and provider messaging are included, and there's no membership fee. Longer plans lower the monthly rate. Effecty's compounded semaglutide is $170 a month.
- Does Effecty take insurance?
- No. Effecty is cash-pay and HSA or FSA eligible. It doesn't provide superbills or speak with insurers about claims.
- Can you cancel Effecty?
- Yes. Email support with "Cancel my account" in the subject line. An order not yet sent to the pharmacy is canceled outright. Once it's at the pharmacy, only future shipments stop.
