Who Carocare Wellness may suit
Houston-area patients comfortable with a dose-by-dose price ladder and dealing directly with a local clinic rather than a national app.
Where the value is
- Transparent, itemized month-by-month price ladder rather than a vague 'starting at' teaser
- 3-month bundle pricing available for modest savings
- Offers both semaglutide and tirzepatide
- Direct phone/email contact for a small, presumably higher-touch practice
The tradeoffs
- Semaglutide rises from $180 to $330 and tirzepatide from $200 to $350 across the six listed monthly dose steps
- Compounding pharmacies and individual prescribers are not named
- The clinic serves Houston and nearby patients rather than a verified nationwide telehealth footprint
- Bundle refund and cancellation terms are not published
A price for every month of the dose ladder
Carocare Wellness prices compounded GLP-1s by month, and each month matches a step up in dose. The price rises as the dose does, so the first month costs the least. Every package includes ongoing provider support, supplies and delivery.
| Month | Tirzepatide dose | Price |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 2.5 mg | $200 |
| 2 | 5 mg | $250 |
| 3 | 7.5 mg | $280 |
| 4 | 10 mg | $300 |
| 5 | 12.5 mg | $325 |
| 6 | 15 mg | $350 |
Semaglutide is $180, $210, $240, $270, $300 and $330 across its six listed monthly steps, from 0.25 mg to 2.5 mg weekly. This is the clinic's price ladder, not a dosing schedule to follow on your own; your prescriber decides the dose and timing.
Both drugs also come as three-month bundles. Semaglutide is $500 for months one to three and $600 for months four to six. Tirzepatide is $600 for months one to three and $800 for months four to six. If you expect to stay on treatment, the bundles cost less than paying month by month.
Considering Carocare Wellness?
Check the plan total, billing period and cancellation terms before you enroll. A clinician decides whether treatment is appropriate.
A local Houston clinic
Carocare is a medically guided wellness clinic at 7457 Harwin Drive in Houston, Texas, and it says it serves patients throughout Houston and the surrounding area. It isn't a national telehealth service, so it's a fit mainly for people who live nearby.
You start by booking a free consultation. The clinic says it uses that visit to learn your health, lifestyle and goals, then writes a plan around your body type, metabolism and any conditions such as diabetes, PCOS or thyroid problems. Plans can include compounded GLP-1 medication, nutrition counseling and exercise recommendations. The dose goes up month by month as you tolerate it, which is how the price ladder above is built.
Other services on offer
The same clinic runs IV hydration therapy, NAD+ injections, sick and routine visits, and an annual wellness exam with routine blood work aimed at people without a primary care doctor or insurance. It also sells prescription hair growth gummies. None of those are bundled into the GLP-1 packages.
Questions to ask at your consultation
Carocare doesn't publish terms of service, a refund policy or the name of the pharmacy that compounds its medication. It also doesn't name its providers. Before you pay for a bundle, ask:
- Who prescribes, and whether follow-ups are in person or by phone.
- Which pharmacy prepares the medication, and whether delivery means shipping or pickup.
- Whether a three-month bundle can be refunded if you stop early.
- What your prescribed dose costs, and whether a bundle fits that plan.
