Compounded tirzepatide

Velvet Rx review

By ·Editor·Reviewed

Velvet Rx advertises compounded tirzepatide from $179, but that is the first month or the 12-month rate. On the one-month plan, each later four-week supply is $249, charged every 28 days, which works out to about $271 a month. The price doesn't rise when your dose does.

Who it suits

Good fit if

  • You want to pay one four-week supply at a time with no contract.
  • You expect dose increases and want the tirzepatide price to stay fixed through them.
  • You'd like nothing charged until a provider approves you.

Look elsewhere if

  • You're counting on the headline price lasting past the first month.
  • You want a site whose help pages answer each question you click.

What you get

Each supply covers a doctor consult, unlimited one-to-one medical support, the written prescription, four weeks of compounded tirzepatide and free shipping. Velvet Rx says your medication price never goes up, even when the dose increases.

Longer packages of three, six or twelve months lower the monthly figure, with the 12-month package matching the $179 headline. Velvet also sells daily GLP-1 tablets, plus NAD+, sermorelin and a GHK-Cu cream.

The platform is run by Rocket Health Inc. of Oceanside, California, and charges can appear under that name on your statement. Actress Raven-Symoné fronts the brand on its homepage.

How it works

  1. Take the short online quiz about your health history and goals. You enter your name and state before any plan is shown.
  2. Pick a package. The checkout shows nothing due today, since the charge follows approval.
  3. A provider reviews your answers, often the same day, and writes the prescription if tirzepatide suits you.
  4. Four weeks of medicine ships free. The one-month plan then renews every 28 days until you cancel.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • Velvet Rx keeps the tirzepatide price flat when your dose goes up, as its plan screen promises.
  • The first four-week tirzepatide supply costs $179, and nothing is charged before approval.
  • Rocket Health Inc. lets you pay one month at a time on the shortest Velvet plan, with no contract.

Cons

  • After the first month, the Velvet Rx one-month plan renews at $249, not the $179 headline.
  • The Velvet Rx homepage calls its medication FDA-approved, but compounded tirzepatide is not.
  • Rocket Health's terms say discounted Velvet orders may be non-refundable once processed.
