Compounded tirzepatide
Ivy Rx review
Ivy Rx sells compounded tirzepatide at one price for every dose, and the month-to-month plan costs $277. The headline figure of $157 a month belongs to the 12-month supply, so the monthly plan runs noticeably higher. Shipping and the prescriber's review are included.
Who it suits
Good fit if
- You expect to climb through the doses and want the bill to stay put while you do.
- You'd like to start without labwork and hear back from a clinician the same day.
- You can commit to a longer supply, where the per-month figure drops as low as $157.
Look elsewhere if
- You want the lowest month-to-month price, since the monthly plan is the most expensive way to buy here.
- You want the option of a refund later on, because Ivy Rx treats most sales as final after 15 days.
What you get
The plan covers the tirzepatide, the clinician's review and free shipping in temperature-controlled packaging. Ivy Rx compounds its tirzepatide with vitamin B6 or B12, and the plan screen promises the same price at every dose.
You choose how much to prepay. The checkout offers a monthly plan at $277, plus 3-month, 6-month and 12-month supplies that cost less per month the longer you commit. Each month is four weekly injections.
Ivy Rx says its medication comes from a state-licensed pharmacy and that batches are checked for potency, sterility, endotoxins and pH in FDA-registered labs. You can't move the prescription to your own pharmacy.
How it works
- Answer the online health questionnaire. Ivy Rx says it takes about five minutes and no lab results are needed.
- Create an account, add a shipping address, and pick a plan length at checkout.
- A licensed clinician reviews your answers, usually the same day, and the approval arrives by email.
- The partner pharmacy compounds the order in 3 to 5 business days, then ships it by FedEx or UPS 2-day delivery.
- Each month, check in with your provider through the patient portal before the next shipment goes out.
Pros and cons
Pros
- Ivy Rx prints "Same price, every dose" on its plan screen, so moving up to a stronger vial doesn't raise the bill.
- No labwork is required before the Ivy Rx clinician reviews your intake.
- Ivy Rx accepts HSA and FSA cards and offers Affirm, Klarna or Afterpay at checkout for some orders.
Cons
- The monthly plan costs $277, well above the $157 a month Ivy Rx charges on its 12-month supply.
- Ivy Rx's terms allow a refund request only within 15 days of an order; after that, every sale is final.
- Ivy Rx doesn't name the pharmacy that compounds your vials, and you can't send the prescription elsewhere.
Check before you pay
- Which plan you picked
- The checkout lists four plan lengths. Make sure the one you select is the monthly plan if you don't want to prepay several months at once.
- Renewals
- The terms describe a month-to-month renewal, and the help center says a missed monthly check-in stops the next charge. Cancel in the patient portal if you want out.
- Refund window
- Refund requests go to Ivy Rx by email within 15 days of the order. Returned medication isn't accepted.
