California Trim Clinic

Shoppers who want compounded semaglutide or tirzepatide paid order by order, with no membership or auto-renewal, and don't mind a discovery call first.

Reasons to consider it

  • Publishes starting prices: compounded semaglutide from $199 a month and tirzepatide from $299
  • No membership fee and no automatic renewal, so you're charged only when you order
  • Serves all 50 states by telemedicine, with a physical clinic in Westlake Village, California

What to weigh up

  • The prices are 'starting at' figures, and the clinic doesn't publish what you'll pay as your dose rises
  • Doesn't name the providers or a medical director for its adult program, or the pharmacy that fills your prescription
  • A discovery call is required before you can order medication

Compounded drugs are not FDA-approved. Understand the medication options.

  • Established, well-known women's telehealth brand with a named Chief Medical Officer (Dr. Loni Belyea)
  • Broad medication menu includes newer options like oral orforglipron (Foundayo)

What to weigh up

  • The $79/mo on the weight-loss page is the Plus+ membership fee, not the drug price, and the $29 Basic membership does not cover weight loss
  • Site explicitly states a prescription is not guaranteed by membership
  • No compounded/lower-cost generic-equivalent option for patients without insurance coverage
