Updated September 2026Same money, fewer weeksCare Clinics review
The price never moves as the dose climbs, because the number of weeks does instead.
The verdict
Care Clinics publishes a grid of dose against duration in which the charge stays fixed and the supply falls. $399 buys sixteen weeks of semaglutide at 1.5 mg and ten weeks of it at 2.5 mg, which is $108 a calendar month at the bottom and $173 at the top.

Care Clinics is a telehealth weight-loss practice selling compounded semaglutide as its GLP-1 program and compounded tirzepatide as its GLP-1 and GIP program. Extended plans run several months on a single charge, and shorter programs of seven weeks and four weeks sit beside them.
Who writes the prescription, and what do they see?
Treatment begins with a booked consultation rather than a form submitted into a queue, and the clinic lists its providers on a page of their own. What a provider reviews before approving a plan is not described, and no prescriber is named against a particular program. Medication ships within three to five business days of that consultation.
Each program is a single charge covering a fixed block of weeks, with the medication included rather than billed separately by a pharmacy. The published semaglutide course steps a patient from 0.5 mg through 0.75 mg and 1 mg to 1.7 mg across twelve weeks, and the tirzepatide course runs 2.5 mg to 5 mg to 7.5 mg over the same span. Klarna financing is offered against the larger totals.
What happens when the dose goes up?
The dose ladder is published in unusual detail here, and it is also where the cost hides, because escalation is what shortens every plan. The extended semaglutide grid holds $399 across four doses while the supply falls from sixteen weeks to ten, and the extended tirzepatide grid holds $599 from sixteen weeks at 7.5 mg down to eight weeks at 15 mg. A patient who climbs the ladder pays the same figure more often rather than a larger one.
What the price includes
Every headline here is a block total rather than a monthly rate, and the clinic does the reader the service of printing the week count beside each one. Converted to calendar months, the semaglutide floor is $108 and its ceiling $173; tirzepatide runs from $163 to $326 on the same basis. The shorter seven-week and four-week programs at $259 and $299 are priced by the block in exactly the same way.
What it claims, and what it cites
Both lines are compounded rather than manufactured, which means a pharmacy prepares them to order and the FDA does not review the preparation before it is dispensed. No compounding pharmacy is named anywhere on the site. The clinic states that it is LegitScript certified.
Where it holds up, and where it does not
- Strength: Dose and duration are published together in one grid
- Strength: The medication is inside the program price
- Strength: A full titration schedule is written out week by week
- Strength: LegitScript certified
- Strength: Financing is offered against the block totals
- Limitation: A higher dose buys fewer weeks for the same charge
- Limitation: Nothing is priced as a calendar month
- Limitation: The compounding pharmacy is not named
- Limitation: The whole block is paid before the first injection
What the evidence says about this kind of treatment
The assessment above is about Care Clinics. These are about the drugs it sells, and they are traced to the primary literature.
- Right for
- A reader willing to divide a block total by its own week count before comparing it.
- Wrong for
- A buyer who wants a monthly bill that holds steady as the dose climbs.

- Does the price go up when the dose goes up?
- No, and that is the catch. The charge holds at $399 or $599 while the number of weeks it covers falls, so the cost per month rises instead.
- What does $399 actually buy?
- Sixteen weeks of semaglutide at 1.5 mg, or ten weeks at 2.5 mg, which is $108 and $173 a calendar month respectively.
- Is the medication included?
- Yes. Each program is described as including medication rather than leaving it to be billed separately by a pharmacy.
- Is Care Clinics expensive compared with other GLP-1 telehealth sellers?
- Care Clinics publishes a starting figure of $108/mo. Across the 225 GLP-1 telehealth sellers we review that publish a single monthly figure, those run $76 to $399 with a median of $179, which puts Care Clinics below the median, toward the cheaper end. The other 18 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.
