Cancellation

MangoRx

  • Company-wide reviews are a small sample and do not establish results for the Slim tablet.
MangoRx's strengths, cautions and terms

Strengths

  • Oral dissolving tablets exclusively, zero injections for any GLP-1 option
  • Mangoceuticals, Inc. publishes corporate information; company disclosure is separate from clinical quality
  • Slim lists compounded semaglutide with Vitamin B6; an ingredient listing does not establish a nausea benefit
  • Intake is 100% online with no insurance needed, and the provider visit costs nothing when it ends in a prescription

More to watch for

  • The verified GLP-1 menu is oral-only. A compounded tablet is not interchangeable with an FDA-approved product, and injection results do not establish its effectiveness.
Medicines listed
  • Semaglutide 1 to 6 mg compounded with Vitamin B6 into a mint-flavored oral dissolving tablet, sold as Slim and the only weight loss product in the catalogue (verified 2026-09-03)
Insurance
No insurance support listed
Consultation
Free when the visit ends in a prescription. The refund policy charges $80 for a video consult or $70 for a phone consult if GLP-1s are judged not a good fit after the appointment, and $80 for a cancellation inside 24 hours or a no-show (verified 2026-09-03)
Shipping
Standard UPS Ground shipping included. Optional two-day and overnight shipping cost extra at the rates offered for the order.
States
46 states plus Washington D.C. The FAQ shipping list leaves out Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas and Mississippi, and there is no separate state list for the Slim weight loss tablet (verified 2026-09-03)
Cancellation
Published on the refund policy page: cancel or reschedule at least 24 hours ahead or pay an $80 fee, no-shows are also $80, refund requests must be made within 30 days, and the terms state all sales are final with auto-refills cancellable up to 48 hours before renewal (verified 2026-09-03)
