Compounded tirzepatide
Sunlight review
Sunlight's month-to-month tirzepatide plan costs $249, charged once a calendar month once a clinician approves you. The site says that figure stays put as your dose rises. The $157 on its homepage is the 12-month plan's per-month rate, not the monthly one.
Who it suits
Good fit if
- You want to pay nothing at signup and be charged only after approval.
- You expect to climb well past the 2.5 mg starting dose and want the bill to stay the same.
- You like being able to see which compounding pharmacies the company works with.
Look elsewhere if
- You might quit soon after a clinician looks at your file, since that triggers a cancellation fee.
- You'd rather cancel with a button than by phone or a portal message.
What you get
Each shipment is a 4-week supply of compounded tirzepatide with the needles for four weekly injections. The monthly plan lists free expedited shipping, a home injection kit, unlimited physician consults and dose increases at no extra cost. Sunlight's help center says there are no costs besides the monthly subscription.
Sunlight is a technology platform, not a clinic. Prescribers come from outside medical groups such as JMP Medical and OpenLoop Health, with a physician team it calls Lion MD. Orders are filled by partner pharmacies, and Sunlight names six, including Belmar, Strive and Foothills.
How it works
- Choose tirzepatide on Sunlight's plan screen, then pick the Monthly Plan or one of the 3, 6 or 12-month bundles.
- Finish the intake quiz and add a card. The order page shows nothing due today.
- A clinician reviews your answers, usually within 24 hours. Some people are asked to book a live video visit first.
- Once approved, a partner pharmacy ships the vial, typically within 7 business days. Pharmacies don't ship Friday through Sunday.
- Fill in the refill form in your patient portal after your third weekly dose so the next box goes out on time.
Pros and cons
Pros
- The monthly plan shows no price hike: $249 at 2.5 mg and the same at the top dose.
- Nothing is due at Sunlight's checkout, and your card is charged only after a clinician approves you.
- Sunlight lists its six partner pharmacies by name, Belmar and Strive among them.
Cons
- Canceling after a Sunlight clinician reviews your intake or a check-in form carries a one-time “clinical fee.”
- The $157 homepage figure needs the 12-month plan, a 48-week supply paid for upfront or financed.
- Canceling takes a call to Sunlight's patient care line or a portal message, and the care team then confirms it.
Check before you pay
- The cancellation fee
- Sunlight's cancel page says a clinical fee applies once a clinician has reviewed your intake, history or check-in form. It is waived if the clinician finds the drug isn't right for you. Read the amount there before you sign up.
- The discount on the monthly plan
- The monthly price is shown as a discount off a higher list price, applied automatically. The order summary says it holds for the life of the plan. Confirm that line is on your screen before you enter a card.
- Refund timing
- A new order is fully refundable only before a clinician reviews it. Once a prescription reaches the pharmacy, that month can't be refunded.
- Bundles are final
- The checkout terms say multi-month packages aren't refundable for unused medication or remaining months. Start monthly if you're unsure.

Sunlight questions
- Is Sunlight legit?
- Sunlight describes itself as a LegitScript-certified telehealth platform that connects you with licensed clinicians from outside medical groups. It names its partner compounding pharmacies on its homepage. Its tirzepatide is compounded, which Sunlight says is not FDA-approved or evaluated for safety or effectiveness.
- How much is Sunlight tirzepatide per month?
- The Monthly Plan is $249, charged once a calendar month after you're approved. Longer bundles cost less per month, down to $157 on the 12-month plan. Medication, clinician visits and shipping are included.
- Does Sunlight take insurance?
- No. It's self-pay. Sunlight accepts major credit cards and HSA or FSA cards.
- Can you cancel Sunlight?
- Yes. Call patient care, open seven days a week, or send a cancellation message in your portal. Cancel before the next order is processed to stop that charge. A clinical fee applies if a clinician has already reviewed your file.
