MEDVi review

By Alyssa Selinger, EditorPricing checked

MEDVi in brief

MEDVi offers compounded semaglutide for $179 in the first month, then $299 per refill, with clinician review and shipping included. It suits cash-pay shoppers who want a bundled service. The catches are the price jump, a 72-hour cancellation deadline and an FDA warning letter about compounded-drug marketing.

MEDVi — FDA warning letter, February 2026. Addressed to MEDVi LLC dba MEDVi, and public in FDA’s warning-letter database.

Our take on MEDVi

MEDVi makes getting started look simple: fill in an online health assessment, pay, then have a clinician decide whether a prescription is appropriate. Its current offer includes medication, physician review, a personalized plan and delivery. The clinical work is attributed to OpenLoop Health and CareGLP affiliated practices rather than MEDVi itself. The public site also names three partner pharmacies, Triad Rx, RedRock Pharmacy and Beaker Pharmacy & Compounding, with addresses and phone numbers. That is useful transparency, although it does not tell you which pharmacy would fill your particular order before the clinician chooses treatment.

The $179 headline is a first-month semaglutide offer, not the continuing price. The FAQ sets refills at $299, so twelve monthly purchases at those disclosed rates would total $3,468 if the offer and treatment remain unchanged. Dissolving GLP-1 tablets start at $249, but the public page does not give a matching ongoing price. Branded Wegovy pills, Wegovy injections and Zepbound use another structure: a $99 membership plus the medication. Do not compare that membership alone with an all-in compounded price. The dietitian and coaching benefit also carries an insurance-and-copay eligibility footnote.

The refund policy deserves more attention than the guarantee banner. Cancellation is available through support or portal chat, but the request must arrive at least 72 hours before the next billing date. Monthly charges already paid generally are not refunded. The policy describes exceptions for medical disqualification and an unused subscription canceled within its first 72 hours, yet later uses a broad statement limiting refunds to medical disqualification. Ask for written clarification of the exception that applies to you before paying, particularly on a prepaid program.

There is also a real regulatory concern. In February 2026 the FDA sent MEDVi, LLC a warning letter about misleading advertising of compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide, including implications about approval and who made the drugs. The letter identifies the same Newark mailing address currently shown by MEDVi. It is an enforcement warning, not a finding that every prescription causes harm, but it matters when judging marketing credibility. The current site says compounded drugs are not FDA-approved, and its patient-reported weight-loss claims should not be treated as equivalent to results from trials of approved medicines.

Signing up, paying and canceling

What MEDVi's own site shows a new patient.

  • The public FAQ, rather than the sale banner, reveals the $299 semaglutide refill price after the $179 first month.
  • The terms say service is available in certain states and direct readers to support for the current list; nationwide availability is not established by those terms.
  • The site names Triad Rx, RedRock and Beaker as pharmacy partners, but your own prescription's dispensing pharmacy still needs confirmation.
  • The FDA letter concerns MEDVi's compounded-drug advertising; it does not give the products FDA approval.

  • Injection refills cost $299 after the $179 introductory month

  • State eligibility list is not published in the terms; ask before paying
  • Cancellation requires advance notice, and paid monthly periods generally are not refunded

MEDVi: common questions

How much does MEDVi cost?

Compounded semaglutide starts at $179 for the first month, then the public FAQ lists $299 refills with medication and shipping included. Dissolving GLP-1 tablets start at $249. Branded Wegovy or Zepbound requires a $99 membership plus the medication cost, so that figure is not an all-in drug price.

Can you cancel MEDVi?

Yes, by contacting support or using patient-portal chat. The cancellation request must reach MEDVi at least 72 hours before the next billing date to prevent that charge. Paid monthly periods generally are not refunded; the policy lists some exceptions but also contains conflicting refund language, so obtain written confirmation.

Does MEDVi have an FDA warning letter?

Yes. The FDA issued a February 2026 warning letter to MEDVi, LLC about misleading compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide marketing. It addressed claims implying approval and identifying MEDVi as the manufacturer. A warning letter is an enforcement concern, not FDA approval of the products or proof about an individual patient's outcome.

Which pharmacy does MEDVi use?

Its public pages name Triad Rx, RedRock Pharmacy and Beaker Pharmacy & Compounding, with addresses and contact details. That is a list of partners rather than a promise that one specific pharmacy will dispense your prescription. Confirm the assigned pharmacy, formulation and labeling with the care team before treatment.

The verdict

Best for: Patients comparing an introductory semaglutide offer with its ongoing refill cost and cancellation terms. Compounded semaglutide with a $179 first month and $299 refills, plus brand-name prescriptions billed separately from a $99 membership.

If that review leaves you undecided, the 7 programs we rank against MEDVi are graded on the same six factors and listed in score order. This review sits inside a bigger picture: where semaglutide is cheapest puts this review in context against every program we track. We have also compared it head to head: CoreAge Rx vs MEDVi goes to CoreAge Rx, 94/100 to 64/100.
