Maximus

  • The current tirzepatide product page and help center have different price schedules. Confirm the selected upfront bill and renewal; required labs cost extra
  • The fulfilling pharmacies are named only as initials in the help center, EVR, FCC or VIOS by state for compounded medication and The Pharmacy Hub for brand-name, and not on the product pages a shopper actually reads
Maximus' strengths, cautions and terms

Strengths

  • Compounded tirzepatide has two-, four-, six- and twelve-month prepaid choices, with shipping and clinical oversight included
  • Compounded plans are flat rate across every dose, so titrating up does not reprice your plan
  • Maximus adds glycine and B12 to its compounded semaglutide, described on the site as a way to further customize and tailor the medication; it cites no clinical evidence for the combination
  • Free expedited shipping on all medication orders

More to watch for

  • Brand-name plans are priced by dose tier, so titrating up can move you to a higher monthly rate; compounded plans stay flat across all doses
  • FDA warning letter #730095, issued June 8, 2026, cites false or misleading compounded-GLP-1 marketing claims. It is a marketing/misbranding record, not an unsafe-medication finding
Medicines listed
  • Semaglutide (compounded; ask whether a 0.1mg microdose plan is current)
  • Tirzepatide (compounded)
  • Semaglutide + glycine + B12 (Maximus describes the additive as a way to further customize and tailor the medication; no nausea benefit is claimed on the site and no Maximus-specific trial evidence was found)
  • Foundayo (brand-name orforglipron tablets, from $199.99/mo, verified 2026-08-28)

States
All states except Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana, per the site's GLP-1 availability page; tirzepatide microdose may carry additional state limits (verified 2026-09-03)
Cancellation
The published terms make prescription sales final. Their no-early-termination language for committed plans is explicitly under the Testosterone Protocol section; the October 8, 2026 review did not confirm it applies to GLP-1 plans. Confirm cancellation, renewal and unused-prepayment terms for the exact weight-loss plan before paying.
