Compounded tirzepatide
Livea review
Livea lists compounded tirzepatide from $199 a month, but only “when available,” and its FAQ says supply depends on FDA rulings. The drug is billed apart from a monthly program fee, so a starting month runs about $268. What the fee buys is in-clinic medical weight loss, not a mail-order script.
Who it suits
Good fit if
- You live in the Twin Cities area or St. Cloud and want a provider who can see you in person.
- You're after the strongest option Livea offers and are fine with a consultation before any price is final.
- You want dietitian meal plans and muscle tracking bundled with the prescription.
Look elsewhere if
- You need compounded tirzepatide confirmed and shipping now, since Livea ties it to availability.
- You're outside Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa and Florida.
- You want a plan you can price and buy online without a call.
What you get
Livea's program fee starts at a monthly figure it says covers program access, the initial consultation and ongoing medical supervision. Tirzepatide is billed on top of that. Its cost varies with dose and eligibility, and the exact quote comes at the free consultation.
Livea describes tirzepatide as its pick for patients chasing maximum results or those who stalled on semaglutide. A provider sets a titration schedule, adjusts the dose as you respond, and coaches you through side effects. Livea also offers a microdosing protocol and oral options.
Care comes from Livea Medical, PLLC, a physician-owned practice managed by Minnesota Weight Control, Inc. It has clinics in Apple Valley, Coon Rapids, Edina, Minnetonka, Roseville and St. Cloud. Medications come from licensed, accredited compounding pharmacies, and shipping to your door is free.
How it works
- Book a free consultation online or by phone, at a clinic or by telehealth. Same-day slots are often open.
- Your provider reviews your history, runs an InBody scan and a metabolic assessment, and says whether tirzepatide is available and suitable.
- If it is, you get a custom prescription with a titration schedule, plus side-effect guidance.
- Regular provider check-ins, nutrition counseling and the Livea app follow, with dose changes along the way.
Pros and cons
Pros
- Six Livea clinics across Minnesota let you check in face to face instead of only by video.
- An InBody scan measures muscle, visceral fat and metabolic rate, not just your weight on tirzepatide.
- Registered dietitians at Livea build a meal plan around your scan results and adjust it monthly.
Cons
- Livea's FAQ says compounded tirzepatide availability hinges on FDA updates, so it may not be offered to you.
- The $199 medication price leaves out Livea's monthly program fee, which lifts a starting month to about $268.
- Tirzepatide at Livea is only priced as a starting figure; your dose sets the real monthly cost.
Check before you pay
- Is it available
- Livea says compounded tirzepatide starts at its listed price “when available.” Ask at the consultation whether you can get it now, and what the branded alternative would cost.
- What the monthly fee covers
- One FAQ calls the starting monthly figure the price of compounded medication. The program pages call the same figure the program fee, with medication extra. Get both numbers in writing.
- Cancellation terms
- Livea's terms of service still hold a bracketed note that the cancellation section will be updated. Its FAQ says pause and cancel rules vary by program, so ask your care coordinator before paying.
