Compounded tirzepatide
Maximus review
Maximus lists compounded tirzepatide at $360 a month, with the plan renewing once a calendar month. The $198 headline is the lowest rate on its longer commitments. Its FAQ says plans are flat-rate and include every dose, and there's no membership fee on top.
Who it suits
Good fit if
- You want the dose to rise without the monthly bill rising with it.
- You're already a Maximus member for testosterone or another protocol and want everything in one account.
- You'd like to spread the cost with Klarna or pay from an HSA or FSA.
Look elsewhere if
- You live in Alabama, Mississippi or Louisiana, where the weight loss protocol isn't offered.
- You want the lowest headline price without signing up for a multi-month plan.
What you get
Maximus is a men's health telehealth brand that also treats women for weight loss. Its tirzepatide is compounded by licensed U.S. pharmacies in the base form, and the site stresses that it avoids salt forms. You inject it once a week from a vial with syringes.
Each plan covers the prescription, physician messaging and free priority shipping in unmarked packaging. A board-certified doctor sets your dose from your weight, history and goals. The FAQ describes flat-rate plans that include access to every dose.
How it works
- Complete the online evaluation, which Maximus says takes about five minutes. No appointment is needed.
- A board-certified physician reviews it and decides whether tirzepatide fits. If you aren't approved, you're refunded minus the doctor consultation.
- Pick your plan in the Maximus app. Longer commitments carry the lower monthly rates.
- Your medication ships to your door, and your doctor adjusts the protocol through messaging as you go.

Maximus questions
- Is Maximus legit?
- Maximus Health is a telehealth company with board-certified physicians and prescriptions filled by licensed U.S. compounding pharmacies. Its tirzepatide is compounded, so it isn't Zepbound or Mounjaro and isn't FDA-approved. In June 2026 the FDA sent Maximus a warning letter citing false or misleading claims.
- How much is Maximus tirzepatide per month?
- $360 a month on the plan that renews once a calendar month. Longer plans bring it as low as $198 a month. There's no membership fee, and the price covers all doses.
- Does Maximus take insurance?
- No insurance is required or billed. Maximus accepts HSA and FSA cards, though coverage for GLP-1 medication depends on your plan administrator.
- Can you cancel Maximus?
- Yes, in the Maximus app or by emailing support, before your next processing date. Medication that has already shipped isn't refunded.
