SkinnyRx review
The semaglutide injection publishes an opening month and no standing rate anywhere, while tirzepatide publishes a standing rate after its first month.
The verdict
SkinnyRx advertises $99 for a first month of injected semaglutide and $149 for a first month of the tablet, and publishes no standing rate for either. Tirzepatide is $299 a month after a $99 first month.

SkinnyRx sells both molecules by injection and semaglutide as a once-daily tablet, with a microdose option and free overnight shipping described. This site publishes no semaglutide figure for either form.
Who writes the prescription, and what do they see?
A prescription precedes dispensing. The pages describe promotions and shipping rather than the clinician or the review schedule.
Advertising a first month without a second is the structural problem. A reader cannot total a course, and the standard single-month rate is described as not published before intake.
What happens when the dose goes up?
Nothing published states what any figure does at a higher dose. On both semaglutide lines the more basic question is unanswered first: what month two costs.
What the price includes
Six months of tirzepatide at $299 is $1,794. For either semaglutide form there is nothing to total, because the figure after the opening month does not appear on any rendered page.
What it claims, and what it cites
The lines are compounded. A pharmacy prepares them to order, and the FDA does not review a compounded preparation before it is dispensed.
Where it holds up, and where it does not
- Strength: Free overnight shipping described
- Strength: A microdose option is offered
- Strength: Tirzepatide carries a standing monthly rate
- Limitation: No standing semaglutide rate is published
- Limitation: The first month is not the rate
- Limitation: The tablet shows a first month only
- Limitation: The states served are not recorded
What the evidence says about this kind of treatment
The assessment above is about SkinnyRx. These are about the drugs it sells, and they are traced to the primary literature.
- Right for
- A reader who wants a cheap first month and will ask what follows it in writing.
- Wrong for
- A reader who needs the second month priced before paying for the first.
The evidence behind what SkinnyRx 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
A 2025 Cochrane review pooled eighteen randomized trials. The weight figure is high certainty and smaller than the marketing, and almost everything else is graded lower.
- Tirzepatide vs Semaglutide: Which Works Better for Weight Loss?
In a 72-week randomized trial at weight-management doses, weight fell 20.2 percent on tirzepatide and 13.7 percent on semaglutide. Routine-care studies found a smaller gap, three to four points.

- What does the injection cost after month one?
- This site publishes no figure. No standing rate appears on any rendered page.
- What does tirzepatide cost after the first month?
- $299 a month on the one-month plan. The preselected six-month plan is $250 a month.
- What does the tablet cost?
- The page shows $149 for a first month and nothing after it, so this site publishes no figure.
- Is SkinnyRx expensive compared with other GLP-1 telehealth sellers?
- SkinnyRx publishes a starting figure of $299/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 SkinnyRx 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.
