Strut Health review

By Alyssa Selinger, EditorPricing checked

Strut Health in brief

Strut Health suits someone who wants to skip needles: compounded semaglutide lozenges start at $99 a month on auto-refill, and the weekly injection at $129. Visits, follow-ups and shipping are folded in. The catch is the routine — the prescriber may never call you, and Strut ships nowhere in Arkansas.

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

Our take on Strut Health

Strut is a Dallas telehealth company that sells men's health, hair, skin and testosterone care alongside weight loss, and it shows: the GLP-1 pages read like a storefront, with each medicine sold as its own product and its own price. Four versions sit on the menu today — semaglutide as a once-weekly shot or a daily buccal lozenge you hold against your cheek, and tirzepatide the same two ways. All four are compounded, which means a pharmacy mixes them and the FDA has not approved them; Strut prints that disclaimer under every price, and it offers no Wegovy or Zepbound route at all.

Pricing is the reason people end up here. The semaglutide lozenge page shows $99 a month on auto-refill, a 21% saving over buying a single month; the injection page shows $129 a month on the same plan. Tirzepatide is listed at $149 a month as an injection and $199 a month as a lozenge, again with auto-refill. Every one of those figures says it already covers the physician consultation, follow-ups and shipping, so the number on the page is close to the number on your card. One wrinkle: the semaglutide overview page prints $199 for a 30-day lozenge supply while the lozenge's own page says $99, so read the price on the checkout screen before you pay.

What you give up is face time. Strut's own FAQ says some states do not require a phone consultation, so many people are prescribed after a questionnaire and never hear a voice; you can message a physician through your account or ask support to arrange a call. There are no published labs and no coaching program. Strut does not take insurance and will not fill out prior-authorization or medical-necessity paperwork, because it describes itself as a cash-pay practice.

Who it suits: a self-directed adult who already knows the side effects of a GLP-1, wants the cheapest needle-free option on a clear price list, and is happy to manage refills from an account page. Who it doesn't: anyone who wants a clinician walking them through the first months, or anyone in Arkansas.

Signing up, paying and canceling

What Strut Health's own site shows a new patient.

  • Signup is a medical questionnaire, then a treatment plan from a physician, then a shipment — Strut's FAQ says most first orders go two-day express and usually arrive within two business days, with refills sent by regular mail.
  • Canceling, pausing or delaying is done from the Orders and Subscriptions tab in your account, but the FAQ asks for 48 hours' notice before the next order processes.
  • Strut's refund policy is blunt: once medication leaves the pharmacy it cannot be returned or refunded, and a cancellation that arrives after the pharmacy has processed the order is not refunded either.
  • Shipping covers every state except Arkansas, according to the FAQ, with a note that certain medications may not be available in all states.

What we like

  • Sublingual lozenges for both molecules — semaglutide from $99/mo, tirzepatide from $199/mo, the same price as the injection
  • Every route and its auto-refill saving is published on the product page rather than revealed inside an intake
  • Cancel, pause or delay a subscription yourself with 48 hours' notice before processing
  • Free online physician visit, free shipping and free follow-up care included rather than added at checkout

The caveats

  • Asynchronous by design — their FAQ notes some states do not require a phone consultation, so you may never speak to the prescriber
  • Compounded only, with no brand-name pathway
  • No published lab or monitoring program
  • Not available in Arkansas
  • FDA issued a warning letter to Strut Health, LLC dba Strut in February 2026; it is public in FDA's warning-letter database

Strut Health: common questions

How much does Strut Health cost for weight loss?

Strut's own pages list compounded semaglutide at $99 a month as a lozenge and $129 a month as a weekly injection, and compounded tirzepatide from $149 a month as an injection or $199 as a lozenge. Those are auto-refill prices; buying one month at a time costs more. Physician visits, follow-ups and shipping are included.

Does Strut Health take insurance?

No. Strut says it is a cash-pay telemedicine practice that does not bill insurance, and it will not complete prior-authorization forms or letters of medical necessity. It can send you prescription information and receipts if you want to submit them yourself.

Can you cancel Strut Health anytime?

Yes, with notice. You can cancel, pause or push back a shipment from your account, but Strut asks for 48 hours before the next order processes. Once a medication has left the pharmacy, Strut does not accept returns or give refunds.

Will I talk to a doctor at Strut Health?

Not necessarily. Strut's FAQ says some states do not require a phone consultation, so a physician may approve your prescription from your questionnaire alone. You can message physicians through your account at any time, and support can arrange direct contact if you ask.

The verdict

Best for: Anyone whose real objection is the needle rather than the medicine, and who wants every route priced on the page before signing up. The only program here selling the same molecule as a lozenge or an injection at the same price — the needle is genuinely optional.
