Compounded tirzepatide
HeliMeds review
HeliMeds doesn't sell tirzepatide by the month. You buy a 12-week supply in one payment, $447 at the starter dose, which averages about $162 per calendar month. Every dose above the starter costs more, roughly $253 a month.
Who it suits
Good fit if
- You're comfortable paying for three months of tirzepatide up front.
- You'd rather handle the whole consultation by text, with no phone or video call.
- You want a one-time purchase with no subscription quietly renewing.
Look elsewhere if
- You want to try tirzepatide for a single month before committing more money.
- You expect to move past the starter dose soon, since the next 12 weeks cost noticeably more.
- You need any chance of a refund once a consultation has happened.
What you get
HeliMeds lists two tirzepatide options, both 12-week supplies paid once. The starter dose is $447, which the site advertises as $149 a month. Any other dose is a larger one-time payment that averages about $253 a month. You can pay up front or through a buy now, pay later program.
The order includes the compounded tirzepatide, free shipping and an online text consultation, and no insurance is needed. HeliMeds says its partner pharmacies send every lot for third-party testing at FDA- and DEA-registered labs. It describes its tirzepatide as additive-free.
HeliMeds is operated by Travex Inc. The site says it began as Studio Med Spa, a local wellness clinic, before offering treatment nationwide.
How it works
- Complete the health survey, which HeliMeds says takes about five minutes.
- A HeliMeds-affiliated provider reviews your answers and replies by text. There's no call.
- If you're prescribed tirzepatide, pay for the 12-week supply at the price for your dose.
- The pharmacy ships it. HeliMeds processes orders in 2 to 3 business days, and delivery averages 4 to 12 business days.

HeliMeds questions
- Is HeliMeds legit?
- HeliMeds is a telehealth brand of Travex Inc. U.S. doctors review each patient by text, and prescriptions are filled by partner pharmacies. The tirzepatide is compounded, so it isn't Zepbound or Mounjaro. HeliMeds' own disclaimer says compounded drugs aren't reviewed or approved by the FDA.
- How much is HeliMeds tirzepatide per month?
- HeliMeds sells 12-week supplies. The starter dose is $447 for 12 weeks, about $162 per calendar month. Higher doses come to about $253 a month.
- Does HeliMeds take insurance?
- HeliMeds says no insurance is required. You pay up front or with a buy now, pay later program.
- Can you cancel HeliMeds?
- Each 12-week supply is a one-time purchase, so nothing renews. Once you've paid and had your consultation, HeliMeds' terms treat the sale as final.
