Compounded tirzepatide
Kongo review
Kongo's one-month tirzepatide plan renews at $229 a month, and the FAQ promises that figure never rises as your provider raises the dose. The provider review, supplies and shipping are folded in. There's no membership or consultation fee to add on top.
Who it suits
Good fit if
- You expect your dose to climb and want the monthly bill to stay where it started.
- You'd like to start without a video visit, since Kongo's intake is a four-minute form.
- You want to cancel or pause from an online portal instead of calling anyone.
Look elsewhere if
- You want to know which pharmacy compounds your vial before you pay.
- You'd rather have a refund policy that doesn't depend on reading two different pages.
What you get
Each month's $229 covers the licensed provider's review, the prescription, the compounded tirzepatide, free shipping and the injection supplies. The box holds the medication, syringes, alcohol wipes and step-by-step instructions. Kongo's FAQ says there are no consultation, platform or membership charges.
The tirzepatide comes from a licensed U.S. compounding pharmacy. Kongo's clinical team is led by Dr. Laurie J. Mercier, a board-certified family physician. The company is Kongo Health Inc., and its site carries a LegitScript seal.
Kongo also sells a three-month plan at a lower monthly rate, billed once upfront. The first month of the one-month plan is sometimes discounted with a code; the renewal is $229.
How it works
- Pick tirzepatide and fill out the online intake. Kongo says it takes about four minutes and needs no video call.
- A licensed provider reviews your answers, usually within 24 hours. Some states require a short phone call before a prescription is written.
- Once you're approved, the order ships in plain packaging with no Kongo name on the outside. Most boxes arrive within 5 to 7 business days.
- You inject at home once a week. The first four weeks stay at the starting dose, and the provider steps it up from week five.
- Refills renew monthly. You can pause or cancel from the Patient Portal.
Pros and cons
Pros
- Kongo's FAQ says the tirzepatide price never increases as your dose is adjusted.
- No consultation, platform or membership fee is charged on top of the $229 plan.
- Kongo offers a 30-day guarantee with a full refund on your first order.
Cons
- Kongo's terms say prescription sales are final and consult fees aren't refundable, which sits oddly beside the 30-day guarantee.
- To get the lower three-month rate, you pay Kongo for all three months in one charge.
- The tirzepatide page names no compounding pharmacy; Kongo says only that a licensed U.S. pharmacy fills orders.
Check before you pay
- First month versus renewal
- An introductory first month may show a lower figure at checkout. Every month after it renews at $229, so budget for that.
- The refund promise
- The tirzepatide page offers a full refund on your first order within 30 days. Kongo's terms also say sales are final once a consultation happens. Ask support how the guarantee applies before you pay.
- A phone call in some states
- Kongo works in all 50 states, but a few need a brief call with your provider. The intake tells you if yours does.

Kongo questions
- Is Kongo legit?
- Kongo Health Inc. runs a telehealth service where licensed U.S. providers review each intake and a licensed U.S. pharmacy compounds the medication. The site shows a LegitScript seal. Compounded tirzepatide is not FDA-approved and is not Zepbound or Mounjaro, which Kongo states on every page.
- How much is Kongo tirzepatide per month?
- $229 a month on the one-month plan, at every dose. That covers the provider, supplies and shipping, with no membership fee. The three-month plan costs less per month but is billed once upfront.
- Does Kongo take insurance?
- No. Kongo doesn't work through insurance. You pay its cash price directly, with no prior authorization involved.
- Can you cancel Kongo?
- Yes. Kongo says there are no long-term commitments, and you can pause or cancel your subscription from the Patient Portal. To pause instead, message the clinical team there and they'll hold your protocol.
