What to watch for with Luvo Health and Maximus

Luvo Health

  • The 50% starter discount lasts four weeks; the next delivery costs the full listed rate
  • Four-week billing means 13 billing cycles in 52 weeks, not 12 calendar-month payments. Longer prepaid plans have separate terms
Luvo Health's strengths, cautions and terms

Strengths

  • Publishes separate first-cycle and renewal prices for three compounded GLP-1 plans, with clinician review, support and shipping included
  • Three compounded formats including oral semaglutide tablets, plus a dedicated microdosing line with its own products
  • Published cancellation and refund terms explain the notice period and limits on prepaid-plan refunds
  • Names its four compounding pharmacies in the terms, with street addresses and phone numbers, and displays a LegitScript approval seal in the site footer
  • Its terms describe prescription-transfer rights; ask which licensed pharmacy can fill the exact prescription and how a transfer affects the plan

More to watch for

  • The compounded-plan prices do not establish the cost of brand-name Ozempic or Zepbound; obtain a separate quote for those options
  • No medical director and no individual prescribing clinician is named; the terms name OpenLoop Healthcare Partners as a clinical partner, but not the clinician who would review your file
  • The terms name four compounding pharmacies and describe default assignment and transfer rights. Confirm the assigned pharmacy before payment; a transfer right does not guarantee that every pharmacy can dispense the prescribed formulation
  • Luvo Health, Inc. is named in the terms, but no street address or phone number is shown on the site's contact, about, terms or FAQ pages (rendered check 2026-09-03), and support is email only
  • Refunds close earlier than cancel any time suggests: cancellation needs 72 hours notice before the billing date, and once the prescription reaches the pharmacy no refund is available, which for a new patient with no video visit is the moment the intake is submitted
Medicines listed
  • Compounded semaglutide (injectable)
  • Compounded tirzepatide (injectable)
  • Compounded semaglutide (oral tablets)
  • Ozempic (brand-name)
  • Zepbound (brand-name)
  • Microdosed semaglutide (injection and tablets) and microdosed tirzepatide (injection)
Insurance

Included in the listed compounded plans; no separate membership fee
Shipping

States
All 50 states plus Washington D.C.; the terms note some services may be narrower
Cancellation
Cancel any time, with requests due at least 72 hours before the next billing date. A refund for the current cycle is available only while the medication has not been ordered, and for a new patient with no required video visit that is the moment the intake is submitted. Clinical services are non-refundable once rendered.

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)
  • Wegovy (brand-name tablets from $249.99/mo and pens from $349.99/mo, verified 2026-08-28)
  • Ozempic (brand-name injection, from $349.99/mo, verified 2026-08-28)
  • Zepbound (brand-name injection, from $449.99/mo, verified 2026-08-28)
  • Mounjaro (brand-name injection, from $1,249.99/mo, verified 2026-08-28)
Insurance
No insurance support listed
Consultation
Clinical oversight and questionnaire check-ins included; required labs cost extra
Shipping
Free expedited
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.

Compounded medicines are not FDA-approved, and the FDA does not review them for safety, effectiveness or quality before they are sold. Read the FDA's explanation of the risks.
