StackMD prices by vial strength
StackMD sells compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide by vial, and the price depends on the strength your provider prescribes. Each drug comes in several concentrations, from a starter vial up to a high-strength one, and the stronger vials cost more. So your monthly cost will rise as your dose climbs. Look at the full price range on the product page, not just the "starts at" figure on the homepage.
Each drug is offered with vitamin B12 or with glycine added. StackMD also sells oral tablets of both drugs, lower-dose "microdose" injections, and brand-name Wegovy and Zepbound consultations, where the medication is billed separately. There's no membership fee. Insurance isn't needed, and FSA and HSA cards are accepted.
What comes in the box: a multi-dose vial at your prescribed strength, syringes, needles, alcohol swabs, dosing and titration instructions, cold-packed discreet shipping, and access to StackMD's clinical support team.
Considering StackMD?
Check the plan total, billing period and cancellation terms before you enroll. A clinician decides whether treatment is appropriate.
Who's behind it
StackMD calls itself a marketing and administrative platform. It doesn't dispense medication or run consultations. The telehealth visits are provided by SamaritanMD, and prescriptions go to independent licensed compounding pharmacies, which StackMD doesn't name.
You check out first, then complete a medical intake and may be asked for a patient ID. Checking out doesn't guarantee a prescription. A licensed provider reviews your intake and decides. StackMD says final pricing and fulfillment details are confirmed after that review, and shipping follows once the pharmacy has filled the order.
All sales are final
StackMD's refund policy is strict. All sales are final, with only narrow exceptions.
- Consultation fees are set by SamaritanMD and aren't refundable once a provider has been assigned, even if you aren't prescribed anything, are found ineligible, or miss the appointment.
- Medication can't be returned or refunded once it's dispensed and delivered.
- Wrong medication, dose or label: email support within seven days of delivery with photos and proof of purchase. Verified errors may be replaced.
- Damaged shipments: report within 72 hours of delivery, with photos.
StackMD passes these claims to SamaritanMD and the pharmacy, and they make the final call.
Before you order
- Ask which vial strength you'll start on and what each step up costs.
- Ask how much the consultation fee is, since it isn't refunded if you're turned down.
- StackMD says it offers telehealth in all 50 states, though some treatments vary by state.
