Who NativeMed may suit
Shoppers who want one price at every dose, month to month or cheaper on a 3-month plan paid up front, without a separate membership fee.
Where the value is
- Flat 'same price any dose' pricing removes the dose-tier price-creep common at other compounded GLP-1 sites
- No stated membership/platform fee stacked on top of the medication price
- Free 48-hour shipping advertised on the homepage
- Month to month, semaglutide is $179 and tirzepatide $259, and a 3-month plan paid up front drops them to $149 and $183 a month
- Names its pharmacy partner, VialsRx in Tomball, Texas
The tradeoffs
- The 'from $149' and 'from $183' headlines are the 3-month plan, paid up front at $447 or $549; the monthly plan costs $179 or $259
- The first consultation is free, but a $25 fee may apply if you don't move forward on the call, and missing it or canceling within 2 hours also costs $25
- No published list of which U.S. states NativeMed actually serves — a buyer can't confirm eligibility before starting the intake
- No dosing-tier detail (starting dose, titration schedule) is disclosed on the product pages
- Compounded, not FDA-approved brand-name product; not insurance-billable
- FDA issued NativeMed LLC dba NativeMed a warning letter in June 2026; the letter is public in FDA's warning-letter database
What NativeMed charges
NativeMed sells compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide as weekly injections at the same price at every dose. There are two ways to pay:
| Plan | Semaglutide | Tirzepatide |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly | $179/mo | $259/mo |
| 3-month plan | $149/mo ($447 paid up front) | $183/mo ($549 paid up front) |
The "from $149" and "from $183" in NativeMed's ads are the three-month rates, and that plan is paid in one charge. If you want to try the medication before committing, the monthly plan costs more per month but less up front.
There's no membership fee, shipping is free, and you don't need insurance. Your provider sets your dose after reviewing your intake, and NativeMed says the price stays the same as the dose rises. If you're already on a GLP-1, you can share your current dose with the provider.
Considering NativeMed?
Check the plan total, billing period and cancellation terms before you enroll. A clinician decides whether treatment is appropriate.
How it works
You take a short quiz, and a licensed provider reviews your health history and decides whether treatment is appropriate. NativeMed's terms describe the first virtual consultation as free, but they add that a $25 fee may apply if you decide not to go ahead on that call.
If you're prescribed, the order goes to a partner pharmacy. After it's processed, medication usually ships within one to three business days, in discreet packaging and by overnight delivery. Provider support is available around the clock.
Who fills the prescription
NativeMed isn't a pharmacy and doesn't make medication. Its pharmacy services page names VialsRx in Tomball, Texas, as its pharmacy partner, and the dispensing pharmacy is printed on your prescription label. NativeMed doesn't publish a list of the states it serves. Availability depends on your state and the pharmacy's licensing, so confirm yours during the intake.
Refunds and canceling
NativeMed's refund policy is strict. Payments, whether monthly or one-time, are non-refundable with one exception: if you cancel within 24 hours of purchase and before any medication ships, you can ask for a refund, minus a cancellation fee for administrative costs. Requests go to NativeMed by email.
You can cancel your membership at any time by emailing with "Cancellation Request" in the subject line. On a three-month plan, that means the upfront payment is generally not refunded once the 24-hour window has passed.
Worth knowing
- Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide aren't FDA-approved, and NativeMed doesn't offer brand-name drugs.
- NativeMed also sells NAD+ from $160 a month and sermorelin.
