Vivanta Care

People starting a GLP-1 at a low dose who want a cheap first few months and can see what the higher doses will cost before they sign up.

Reasons to consider it

  • All four dose-stage prices for each drug appear on the first screen of its quiz, before you answer any health questions
  • Each plan covers the medical visit, the medication and shipping, with no separate membership fee
  • Names its pharmacy (DiRx in Fort Lauderdale) and its clinician network (MD Integrations)

What to weigh up

  • The $79 and $99 prices cover only the starting dose; at the higher stages semaglutide reaches $299 and tirzepatide $329
  • Its FAQ says pricing "stays the same at every dose", which doesn't match the dose-stage prices in the quiz
  • Medication can't be returned, and the medication portion of the fee is non-refundable once it ships

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