Mint Med review
The monthly figure is written into the product name, and the listing says it holds at every dose for as long as the order runs.
The verdict
Compounded semaglutide costs $106 a month at Mint Med and compounded tirzepatide costs $145, and the seller labels both a lifetime price with every dose included. On the seller's own wording, then, the figure paid in the first month is also the figure paid in the fifth, after the dose has climbed. The clinical side of the page is thinner: the review that comes before a prescription is described in outline, and neither a prescriber nor a pharmacy is named.

Mint Med works like a shop, with compounded semaglutide and compounded tirzepatide each sold as one listing whose price is part of the product name. The same catalog carries NAD+, sermorelin, an MIC and B12 injection and bremelanotide. A buyer pays at checkout and is reviewed afterwards, and the site promises a refund straight away if a clinician decides the medication is not appropriate.
Who writes the prescription, and what do they see?
The listing says a licensed provider reviews the intake within 24 business hours and sends the prescription on if it is approved. The homepage adds that a board-certified clinician makes that call, by live video or audio in states that require it and by a chart review answered in the patient inbox where asynchronous care is allowed. No clinician, medical group or medical director is named anywhere a buyer would look before paying, so who is actually signing the prescription is not stated.
After the first order the relationship runs through a patient portal, where the site promises unlimited messaging with the care team and ongoing access to the provider for questions about dosage and symptoms. A 24/7 care team is listed on every product page. Cancellation needs 48 business hours of notice before the next order, and the homepage states plainly that no long-term subscription is required.
What happens when the dose goes up?
This is where the listing is at its strongest, because the dose ladder is exactly the part that usually costs more by the fourth month. Every plan on both molecules says all doses are included and that the price is locked with no increases, so a step from the starting dose to a higher one should not change the bill. What the page does not describe is the clinical side of each step: who decides it, and what a patient reports before it is made.
What the price includes
Month to month, semaglutide is $106 and tirzepatide is $145, a difference of $39 that stays the same at every dose. Each listing also offers two-, three-, six- and twelve-month prepaid terms, and every longer term lowers the monthly figure a little further, but each is charged in full at the start. A year of semaglutide at the monthly rate comes to $1,272, which is the useful number to hold beside a prepaid term before committing to one.
What it claims, and what it cites
Both products are compounded preparations, not branded medicines. The product page says compounded medications are not reviewed or approved by the FDA before they are dispensed, and that the medication ships from a state-licensed compounding pharmacy it does not name.
Where it holds up, and where it does not
- Strength: Price labeled locked at every dose
- Strength: Monthly figure printed in the product name
- Strength: Refund stated if a clinician declines
- Strength: Neither listing carries a membership fee
- Limitation: No prescriber or medical group is named
- Limitation: The compounding pharmacy is not named
- Limitation: Payment is taken before clinical review
- Limitation: Prepaid terms are charged in full upfront
What the evidence says about this kind of treatment
The assessment above is about Mint Med. These are about the drugs it sells, and they are traced to the primary literature.
- Right for
- A buyer who expects to climb the dose ladder and wants the bill to stay where it started.
- Wrong for
- A buyer who wants to know which clinician is responsible before paying.

- Does the price rise when the dose goes up?
- Not on the seller's wording. Every plan on both listings says all doses are included and the price is locked with no increases.
- Is payment taken before a provider has reviewed the intake?
- Yes. The site collects payment at checkout, and says it refunds the order straight away if a clinician finds the patient is not eligible.
- Is Mint Med the same company as Mint Medical Clinic?
- No. Mint Med sells online from mintmed.com, while Mint Medical Clinic is a clinic in Utah with a different website and its own pricing, so the two should not be compared as one seller.
- Is Mint Med expensive compared with other GLP-1 telehealth sellers?
- Mint Med publishes a starting figure of $106/mo. Across the 368 GLP-1 telehealth sellers we review that publish a single monthly figure, those run $49 to $449 with a median of $189, which puts Mint Med below the median, toward the cheaper end. The other 20 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.
