Compounded tirzepatide
Synergy Rx review
Synergy Rx lists compounded tirzepatide at $399 a month on its monthly plan, with the first month at $349. On top of that comes a one-time charge for your first telehealth visit, owed whether or not you're prescribed. Longer prepaid plans lower the monthly cost.
Who it suits
Good fit if
- You'll commit for 6 or 12 months, where the prepaid rate drops well below $399.
- You want to message support at any hour, which Synergy says is included.
- You like having a provider review your progress before every refill.
Look elsewhere if
- You want to pay nothing if the provider says no. The first visit fee is charged either way.
- You plan to try just one month, since only the first month is $349.
What you get
Synergy sells compounded tirzepatide on monthly, 3-month, 6-month and 12-month billing cycles. The monthly plan is $399 a month after a first month of $349. The 6-month and 12-month plans cost the least per month. Every plan covers the consult, medication, supplies, shipping and support.
You inject the medication yourself once a week, under the skin. Before each refill a provider checks your progress and adjusts the dose if needed, with monthly or quarterly check-ins.
Prescribing is done by Lion MD, a nationwide physician group. The FAQ names the partner pharmacies: Belmar, Strive, Epiq Scripts and Casa Pharma Rx. Card payments are processed by CareValidate, which may appear on your statement.
How it works
- Fill in the intake: height, weight, goal weight, past weight-loss attempts and a health screening.
- Choose a billing cycle for tirzepatide on the plan screen.
- Enter a shipping address and card. The payment screen says you'll be charged for your initial telehealth visit.
- A licensed provider reviews your answers, and if tirzepatide suits you, writes the prescription.
- A U.S. pharmacy ships the medication to your door, and later refills follow a progress review.
Pros and cons
Pros
- The 12-month plan brings tirzepatide well below the $399 monthly rate, per Synergy's plan screen.
- Synergy names its pharmacy partners, including Belmar and Casa Pharma Rx.
- A provider reviews progress before each refill, with monthly or quarterly check-ins, says Synergy.
Cons
- The first telehealth visit is billed on top of the $349 first month, even if you're turned down.
- The plan and payment screens at Synergy quote two different amounts for that first visit fee.
- After month one the monthly plan costs $399, and Synergy's terms say all sales are final.
Check before you pay
- The visit fee
- The plan screen says a telehealth visit cost applies whether or not you receive medication. The payment screen then quotes a lower amount. Check the figure on the final screen before you submit.
- Month two
- The $349 rate is for the first month. The monthly plan renews at $399.
- Refunds
- Synergy's terms say consult fees can't be refunded and prescription products can't be returned.

There is also $59 once — Initial TeleHealth visit, charged whether or not medication is prescribed (quoted as $80 one screen earlier). You pay it a single time, so it is not part of the monthly figure above and does not change where this seller ranks.

Synergy Rx questions
- Is Synergy Rx legit?
- Synergy Rx connects patients with Lion MD physicians and ships through licensed U.S. compounding pharmacies it names. Billing runs through CareValidate. The tirzepatide is compounded, so it isn't Zepbound or Mounjaro and isn't FDA-approved.
- How much is Synergy Rx tirzepatide per month?
- $399 a month on the monthly plan, with the first month at $349. A one-time fee for the initial telehealth visit is added. Prepaid 3, 6 and 12-month plans cost less per month. Synergy's compounded semaglutide is $249 a month.
- Does Synergy Rx take insurance?
- Synergy's FAQ says most insurance plans don't cover weight-management GLP-1 prescriptions through telemedicine. You pay directly, and FSA or HSA cards are accepted.
- Can you cancel Synergy Rx?
- The plan screen says you can cancel or change plans anytime. Money already paid for consults or shipped medication isn't refunded under the terms.
