Effecty sells both molecules by injection. Both rates are stated flat across doses. Fifty states are covered.

  1. Who writes the prescription, and what do they see?

    A prescription precedes shipping. The pages describe plans, not clinicians. The intake is not documented.

    The structure is one plan, not four. A reader picks a year or nothing. The discounted first month sits inside that year rather than beside it.

  2. What happens when the dose goes up?

    Both rows are flat, so the rate holds as the dose rises. Nothing describes what a clinician reviews at a dose increase. The price question is answered and the care question is not.

  3. What the price includes

    A year of semaglutide is $60 plus eleven months at $160, or $1,820. Tirzepatide is $140 plus eleven at $240, or $2,780. The first-month figure is a discount, not a rate. No month-to-month option is published on either line.

  4. What it claims, and what it cites

    Both lines are compounded. A pharmacy prepares them. The FDA does not review them before dispensing. No pharmacy is named.

Where it holds up, and where it does not

  • Strength: Flat across doses on both molecules
  • Strength: Coverage in all fifty states
  • Strength: The first-month discount is stated
  • Limitation: The rates require a twelve-month plan
  • Limitation: No month-to-month option published
  • Limitation: No compounding pharmacy is named

What the evidence says about this kind of treatment

The assessment above is about Effecty. These are about the drugs it sells, and they are traced to the primary literature.

Right for
A reader ready to commit a year and wanting the rate fixed across it.
Wrong for
A reader who wants to stop after a month.

Frequently asked

Is $60 the monthly price?
No. It is the first month. The rate after it is $160 on the twelve-month plan.
What does a year cost?
$1,820 for semaglutide and $2,780 for tirzepatide, including the discounted first month.
Can I pay month to month?
No such option is published. Both rates belong to the twelve-month plan.
Is Effecty legit?
Effecty is a GLP-1 telehealth sellers service. Its stated availability: All 50 states. What our record does not establish: whether it bills insurance and how its intake works. Ask for those in writing before you pay.
Is Effecty expensive compared with other GLP-1 telehealth sellers?
Effecty publishes a starting figure of $160/mo. Across the 112 GLP-1 telehealth sellers we review that publish a single monthly figure, those run $76 to $299 with a median of $179, which puts Effecty below the median, toward the cheaper end. The other 8 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.
