SkinnyRx

Shoppers who want a cheap first month to see how they tolerate a GLP-1, and who will budget for the price from month two.

Reasons to consider it

  • The first month of either injection is $99, so trying the medication costs little
  • Prepaid plans lower the price: semaglutide renews at $225 a month on four months, $215 on six and $199 on twelve
  • Both compounded molecules come as a weekly injection or a daily tablet

What to weigh up

  • From month two the injection is $249 for semaglutide or $299 for tirzepatide, well above the $99 you see first
  • An FDA warning letter is on public record against Lean Rx, Inc. dba SkinnyRx, issued February 2026
  • Brand-name drugs appear in its catalog, but the Wegovy pill is listed as unavailable

Regulatory note: the FDA issued a warning letter to Lean Rx, Inc. dba SkinnyRx in February 2026. We still list and link to SkinnyRx; you should know the letter is on the public record before you decide.
