Who Luci may suit
Patients willing to prepay a 12-month plan for the lowest advertised rate who want to know which pharmacy fills their prescription.
Where the value is
- Offers semaglutide and tirzepatide as injections or oral versions
- Names its three compounding pharmacies, with addresses: EPIQ Scripts, Emerald Compounding Pharmacy and Striker Pharmacy
- Names its medical partners: DrTelx on its homepage and Berluga Health in its terms
- Plans can be canceled at any time, and a six-month money-back guarantee is offered
The tradeoffs
- The "as low as" $99 and $145 prices are for a 12-month plan paid upfront, and no month-to-month price is published
- Its FAQ says it serves every state, while its footer says select states, with no list
- Its terms say fees aren't refundable in whole or in part, which sits awkwardly beside the money-back guarantee
- No LegitScript certification shown on the site
What Luci charges
Luci sells compounded semaglutide and compounded tirzepatide as injections, and lists oral versions of both. Its product pages give "as low as" prices of $99 a month for semaglutide and $145 a month for tirzepatide, and the oral versions carry the same figures. A footnote explains that these are the monthly rate on a 12-month plan paid upfront. Luci doesn't publish what a single month costs, so ask before you check out.
Luci says its plans include the doctor's visit, the medication and free standard shipping, that there are no hidden fees, and that prices stay the same at every dose. It doesn't take insurance. Its terms describe automatic renewals, with the first renewal sometimes charged early so treatment isn't interrupted.
Considering Luci?
Check the plan total, billing period and cancellation terms before you enroll. A clinician decides whether treatment is appropriate.
Who prescribes and who fills it
Luci is a platform, not a medical practice. Its terms name the medical group as "Berluga Health." Luci does name its pharmacies, with street addresses: EPIQ Scripts in Richardson, Texas; Emerald Compounding Pharmacy in Tampa, Florida; and Striker Pharmacy in Katy, Texas. Your prescription can be moved between them.
You start with a three-minute questionnaire. A licensed medical team reviews it within one to two business days, and once you're prescribed, the order ships within one to three business days. Standard shipping is free and takes three to five business days, and express delivery is offered for a fee. Medication travels in temperature-controlled packaging. Luci says it serves every state.
The six-month guarantee, and the no-refund clause
Luci's refund policy offers a six-month money-back guarantee. If you stay enrolled for at least 180 days, take your medication as prescribed and don't miss a refill in month six, you can claim a full refund if you haven't seen meaningful change. On a compounded plan, that covers everything you paid, medication included. The request window is days 181 to 210.
The same policy offers a prorated refund if side effects become unmanageable, and a full refund if you can't start treatment after the medical review. Luci's terms of service, though, carry a "no refund" clause saying fees aren't refundable in whole or in part. Get written confirmation of the guarantee's conditions before you count on it.
Things to check
- Which intake you're on. Some "Get Started" buttons on Luci's homepage open a different company's intake form. Make sure the form carries Luci's name before you enter anything.
- Borrowed text. One FAQ answer names a different telehealth brand, and the terms refer to a differently named website.
- The price for your plan length, since the advertised figure is the rate on a 12-month plan paid upfront.
- Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide aren't FDA-approved.
