Cielo review
The asterisk on the home page card does the work most sites leave out.
The verdict
Cielo Health leads with $89 a month for compounded semaglutide and puts the condition in an asterisk immediately below it, where the words say a six-month plan and all doses. Open the semaglutide page itself and the ladder appears in full, with a shorter term between the headline and a monthly plan that carries its own figure and the regular rate printed beside it.

Cielo Health sells compounded semaglutide and compounded tirzepatide as weekly injections, entirely online, with the intake reviewed the same day and the medication described as arriving within a few days. The company states that ten percent of every dollar it earns goes to charitable organizations, and it repeats that on a page of its own rather than as a badge. The site is published in English and Spanish. No other product line shares the catalog.
Who writes the prescription, and what do they see?
The intake is described as secure and reviewed by licensed physicians who take time with a health history before treatment starts, and that sentence is as close as the site comes to naming anyone. No physician, medical group or medical director appears on the about page, the product pages or the footer. The FAQ list runs to eleven questions, several of which would carry the answer, and the headings render without any text beneath them. What a physician weighs before writing the first prescription is left entirely unstated.
Each molecule has its own page, and each page opens on a plan table rather than a quiz, which means a buyer can price the whole thing before answering a single medical question. Free physician consultation and shipping are described as inside the rate, and the site says care plans are adjusted as the body changes, with an eye on preserving muscle mass. Unlimited provider access, refill help and ongoing follow-up are listed as included. A patient portal sits behind a separate login.
What happens when the dose goes up?
The asterisk under every price says all doses, and the plan table repeats it, so the figure a buyer starts on is the figure they stay on as the dose climbs through the first sixteen weeks. That removes the most common unpleasant surprise in this category, where a step up quietly moves a patient into a higher tier. What it does not do is say who approves the step, or how quickly. No milligram figure appears anywhere beside a plan, so the ladder itself is invisible until a provider describes it.
What the price includes
The semaglutide page prints three rungs in one table, headed by the six-month plan and closing on a monthly plan with the regular rate struck through beside it. Tirzepatide is built identically, one tier higher at every rung. The home page card shows the six-month figure against the regular rate, and a sale banner runs across the top of every page. Nothing on either page states what the six-month plan costs as a single charge, only what it works out to each month.
What it claims, and what it cites
Both lines are compounded rather than manufactured, prepared by pharmacy partners the site calls FDA-regulated without naming any of them. Compounded preparations are not FDA-approved and are not reviewed by the FDA before dispensing. Every batch is described as tested, and the claim is not attributed to a named laboratory.
Where it holds up, and where it does not
- Strength: The commitment is printed in the asterisk
- Strength: The regular rate sits beside the sale rate
- Strength: One price at every titration dose
- Strength: The plan table comes before the quiz
- Strength: No membership fee sits beside any rung
- Limitation: The headline rate needs six months
- Limitation: The FAQ headings render without answers
- Limitation: No prescriber or medical group is named
- Limitation: No compounding pharmacy is named
- Limitation: No milligram dose appears beside a plan
What the evidence says about this kind of treatment
The assessment above is about Cielo. These are about the drugs it sells, and they are traced to the primary literature.
- Right for
- A buyer who wants the term behind a headline rate stated in the line under it.
- Wrong for
- A buyer who needs to know who will be writing the prescription.

- Is $89 a month what a new patient pays?
- Only on the six-month plan. The asterisk under the figure says so, and the product page's monthly rung is higher.
- Does a higher dose cost more?
- No. Every plan on both product pages is marked as covering all doses, so a step up does not move the charge.
- Who reviews the intake?
- Licensed physicians, according to the site. None is named, and no medical group or medical director appears anywhere on it.
- Is Cielo expensive compared with other GLP-1 telehealth sellers?
- Cielo publishes a starting figure of $199/mo. Across the 252 GLP-1 telehealth sellers we review that publish a single monthly figure, those run $49 to $399 with a median of $178, which puts Cielo above the median. The other 19 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.
