Compounded tirzepatide
Levers Health review
Levers Health's main tirzepatide subscription costs $396 a month and is sold as the same price at any dose. A cheaper Low-Dose Plan at $296 covers up to 5 mg a week. Your card is authorized at checkout but only charged if a doctor approves you.
Who it suits
Good fit if
- You're already on a GLP-1 elsewhere. Levers says you can continue at your current or an equivalent dose.
- You want to pay with an HSA or FSA card.
- You like the idea of glycine and vitamin B-12 compounded into the same vial.
Look elsewhere if
- You live outside the roughly 27 states listed on the tirzepatide page.
- You want a lower price and don't expect to stay under 5 mg a week for long.
What you get
Two monthly subscriptions are on offer. The Monthly Plan at $396 covers any dose. The Low-Dose Plan at $296 tops out at 5 mg a week, which Levers describes as 20 mg of tirzepatide a month. Both include the medication, personalized dosing, shipping, the consultation and unlimited provider support, with no cancellation penalty.
The vial is compounded tirzepatide with glycine and vitamin B-12, at 10 mg, 5 mg and 500 mcg per mL, and it's colored red by the B-12. Patients in California, Indiana and South Carolina get a version without glycine. Levers is based in Scottsdale, Arizona, and says it works only with LegitScript-certified 503A pharmacies. Its medical director is Russell Bartels, MD, a board-certified OB/GYN.
How it works
- Choose a plan and check out. The payment is authorized, and the intake forms arrive by text and email right after.
- Complete the medical intake. Levers says approval comes within 24 hours, and you're charged only if you're approved.
- The pharmacy processes the order, which can take 3 to 7 business days, then ships it overnight by FedEx or UPS.
- Levers checks in with you each month. Messages to your practitioner through your account get a reply within 24 hours.
Pros and cons
Pros
- Levers charges $396 a month on its Monthly Plan at whatever dose the doctor prescribes.
- HSA and FSA cards are accepted at checkout, as the Levers product page notes.
- Unlimited clinical check-in calls with a Levers provider are part of the subscription.
Cons
- The $296 Low-Dose Plan stops at 5 mg a week, so any higher dose means the $396 plan.
- Levers ships to fewer than 30 states, so many buyers can't order at all.
- Compounded medication can't be returned once Levers places the order with the pharmacy.
Check before you pay
- Refund window
- Levers will refund an order only before the pharmacy processes it, which is typically within a day. After that, and after shipment, there are no refunds on medication.
- Pausing and restarting
- If you pause or cancel, or go a long stretch without a GLP-1, Levers restarts you at a lower dose for safety. The first month includes enough to step back up.
- Use-by date
- Compounded GLP-1 vials carry a use-by date 90 days after compounding. Levers guarantees at least 64 days from delivery, so plan refills around that.

Levers Health questions
- Is Levers Health legit?
- Levers Health LLC is an Arizona telehealth company with a named medical director. Licensed doctors review your intake and 503A pharmacies compound the medication. Its tirzepatide is compounded, so it's not Zepbound or Mounjaro and isn't FDA-approved, which Levers says on the product page.
- How much is Levers Health tirzepatide per month?
- $396 a month on the Monthly Plan, at any dose. The Low-Dose Plan is $296 a month for doses up to 5 mg a week. Shipping, supplies and provider support are included. Semaglutide from Levers starts at $247.
- Does Levers Health take insurance?
- No insurance of any type. Levers does accept HSA and FSA cards.
- Can you cancel Levers Health?
- Yes. The subscription carries no cancellation penalty, and you can pause or cancel from your account. An order already with the pharmacy can't be refunded.
