Compounded tirzepatide
Ivologist review
Ivologist starts new tirzepatide patients on a 12-week titration program at $249 a month, covering doses from 2.5 mg to 7.5 mg. Once your clinician moves you to a maintenance dose, the monthly subscription becomes $299 at any strength. Consultations, supplies and shipping are part of both prices.
Who it suits
Good fit if
- You're new to tirzepatide and want a set 12-week program for the first dose steps.
- You like knowing the later price now: maintenance is $299 a month, whatever dose you settle on.
- You want a Texas clinic with a named roster of physicians and nurse practitioners behind the prescription.
Look elsewhere if
- You're already on a higher dose, since you'd start at the $299 maintenance price.
- You want the option of a refund after you've paid, because Ivologist treats sales as final.
What you get
Tirzepatide at Ivologist comes in two programs. The Starter runs 12 weeks and titrates from 2.5 mg up to 7.5 mg, billed as a monthly subscription at $249. The Maintenance program covers every dosage at $299 a month and can be canceled anytime. Both can also be paid three months in full at a lower rate.
Each price includes the clinician review, ongoing oversight, the medication, syringes, alcohol pads and shipping. Vials ship cold from a U.S.-licensed compounding pharmacy, which the site doesn't name. You inject once a week, and a secure video walkthrough shows you how.
Ivologist began in San Antonio in 2017 as a mobile IV service. It still runs mobile IV therapy in San Antonio and El Paso, and it offers weight care by telehealth in all 50 states.
How it works
- Fill in the secure intake questionnaire about your health, goals and history.
- A licensed clinician reviews it and decides whether tirzepatide suits you. Nothing is prescribed without that review.
- If you're approved, a partner pharmacy prepares the vial and ships it to your home.
- Follow-ups track your progress, and your clinician adjusts the dose at those visits based on how you tolerate it.
Pros and cons
Pros
- Maintenance tirzepatide is one $299 monthly price at every dosage, so higher doses cost nothing extra.
- Ivologist lists 13 clinicians by name, including internal medicine doctors and board-certified nurse practitioners.
- The Starter program's first month is discounted before the $249 monthly rate begins.
Cons
- The $249 Starter rate only covers 2.5 to 7.5 mg; after the 12 weeks it's $299 a month.
- Refunds are rare: Ivologist's terms make all sales final unless a provider rules the treatment inappropriate.
- The compounding pharmacy isn't named; Ivologist only says it uses licensed 503A and 503B U.S. pharmacies.
Check before you pay
- Which program you're buying
- The Starter covers the 12-week titration only. Check with your clinician when you'll move to Maintenance, because that's when the monthly charge rises to $299.
- Canceling and refunds
- Cancel in your account settings, by email or by phone. It takes effect at the end of the paid term. Money already charged isn't refunded unless a provider decides you can't be treated.
- Paying three months at once
- Both programs have a paid-in-full option for three months. It lowers the monthly equivalent, but the whole amount is charged at checkout.

Ivologist questions
- Is Ivologist legit?
- Ivologist is the trading name of Ivologist Weight Loss Center, LLC, based in Boerne, Texas. Its clinicians include physicians in internal medicine and family medicine, plus nurse practitioners, and the site says it is LegitScript certified. The tirzepatide is compounded, so it isn't Mounjaro or Zepbound, and Ivologist states it isn't FDA-approved.

- $249 a month during the 12-week Starter program at 2.5 to 7.5 mg. Maintenance costs $299 a month at any dosage. Both include the clinician, supplies and shipping. Ivologist's compounded semaglutide starts at $149 a month.
- Does Ivologist take insurance?
- No. The compounded GLP-1 programs are self-pay and Ivologist doesn't bill insurance. You may be able to submit the receipts to an FSA or HSA.
- Can you cancel Ivologist?
- Yes, at any time, through your account settings or by contacting Ivologist by email or phone. You won't be charged again, and service runs to the end of the term you've paid for. You can also ask your care team about pausing treatment instead.
