Category GLP-1 telehealth Molecule Semaglutide · Tirzepatide Form Injection Dose pricing Flat across doses From From $324/mo Dose published No Prescription Required Compounded Yes — not FDA-approved Pharmacy Not named Availability California and Arizona iThriveMD runs longevity, hormone and weight-loss services. Its FAQ names eight clinic sites. Seven are in California and one is in Scottsdale. 1. ## Who writes the prescription, and what do they see? The process has four steps. A patient completes an online intake first. A clinical consultation follows, which includes a review of diagnostic labs. The clinic then builds a plan and starts treatment in clinic or at home. No individual prescriber is named on either product page. Treatment can be delivered in person or by telehealth. Home delivery is offered where eligible. The clinic states that it tracks progress and adjusts the plan. The first consultation is described as free. 2. ## What happens when the dose goes up? The price does not change with the dose. Both product pages state this in the FAQ. The dosing schedule is twice a week, not once. The clinic says this keeps medication levels steadier. Dose adjustments are described as managed by its medical team. 3. ## What the price includes Each Monthly card leads with a reduced first charge: $199 for semaglutide, $299 for tirzepatide. A footnote says the $100 reduction is used once. From the second cycle, the rates are $299 and $399. Prepaid packages run 12, 24 or 48 weeks and cost less per cycle. They are paid upfront and renew on their own. Semaglutide packages cut the rate by 10 to 20 percent. Tirzepatide packages cut it by 25 to 50 percent. 4. ## What it claims, and what it cites Both drugs are compounded preparations. A site footnote says compounded drugs have no FDA review or approval for safety or effectiveness. The site says a LegitScript-certified facility dispenses them. That facility is unnamed. ## Where it holds up, and where it does not - Strength: Dose increases do not raise the price - Strength: Standing rate printed beside the reduction - Strength: Clinic visits available beside home delivery - Strength: Lab review is part of the consultation - Limitation: Billing runs every 28 days - Limitation: Only California and Arizona are served - Limitation: No prescriber is named - Limitation: Packages auto-renew at their own interval ## What the evidence says about this kind of treatment The assessment above is about iThriveMD. These are about the drugs it sells, and they are traced to the primary literature. - [What happens to the dose, and to the side effects, over the first twenty weeks?](https://thisglp.com/research/how-long-does-nausea-last-on-a-glp1) - [How much of the weight lost is muscle, and what changes that?](https://thisglp.com/research/muscle-loss-on-glp1) - [What does the trial evidence show when treatment stops?](https://thisglp.com/research/stopping-glp1-and-weight-regain) Right for A Californian or Arizonan who may want to walk into a clinic. Wrong for A patient outside those two states. ## The evidence behind what iThriveMD prescribes These studies examine the medicines, not this provider. Results with approved products do not establish the quality or effectiveness of a seller’s compounded formulation. - [Cochrane Review of Semaglutide for Obesity: 18 Trials Graded](https://thisglp.com/research/semaglutide-cochrane-review) A 2025 Cochrane review pooled eighteen randomized trials.

Is iThriveMD legit? iThriveMD is a GLP-1 telehealth sellers service. Its stated availability: California and Arizona. What our record does not establish: whether it bills insurance and how its intake works. Ask for those in writing before you pay. Is iThriveMD expensive compared with other GLP-1 telehealth sellers? iThriveMD publishes a starting figure of $324/mo. Across the 402 GLP-1 telehealth sellers we review that publish a single monthly figure, those run $49 to $525.42 with a median of $190, which puts iThriveMD above the median. The other 178 GLP-1 telehealth sellers we review quote only after an intake or price by dose, so they are not in that comparison. A starting figure is not a bill — labs, consultations and shipping are often charged separately, so confirm what your own quote includes.
