Compounded tirzepatide
Options Medical Weight Loss review
Options Medical Weight Loss charges $349 for each four-week supply of compounded tirzepatide on its monthly plan. Over a calendar month, that works out to about $379. The $299 figure it advertises is a first-month price for new customers, and nothing is charged until a provider approves you.

Who it suits
Good fit if
- You want the price to hold as your dose goes up.
- You'd rather not be charged anything until a prescription is approved.
- You want coaching on food and habits along with the medication.
Look elsewhere if
- You're comparing the $299 headline with other sellers. It lasts one month, then the plan renews at $349.
- You might need to stop on short notice. The FAQ describes a 3-month minimum and 30 days' notice for memberships, so ask whether that covers your plan.
What you get
The monthly plan ships four weeks of tirzepatide and includes the medical consultation and shipping. The checkout promises the same price at every dose level and offers lab work as an optional add-on. Longer plans cover 12, 24 or 48 weeks at a lower average rate per month.
Options is a chain of weight-loss clinics with locations in Illinois, Ohio, Arizona and Florida, and it says it has served more than 100,000 patients. The telehealth program adds nutrition guidance, behavior coaching and video follow-ups. The FAQ names OptioRx as its pharmacy partner, and card payments run through CareValidate Inc.
How it works
- Fill in the online intake. It opens with your date of birth, height, weight and sex, then moves on to health questions.
- Choose tirzepatide injections and a plan length. The monthly card shows the first-month price beside the $349 renewal price.
- Enter a card. Nothing is due that day, and the checkout says you're charged only if your prescription is approved.
- An Options provider reviews your case. The telehealth page describes a secure video visit as part of that evaluation.
- Once you're approved, the checkout says medication is prescribed and shipped within 5 to 7 days.
