MEDVi beats Luvo Health overall, scoring 5.7/10 vs 2.4/10. Published pricing is not a like-for-like monthly comparison: Luvo Health is from $249/mo; MEDVi is $179 first month, then $299/mo. Choose Luvo Health for people who want compounded semaglutide or tirzepatide alongside longevity, nad or hormone care from one clinic, and who will do the 4-week-cycle arithmetic before committing.

Luvo Health

#53 of 53

2.4/10

Luvo Health is a multi-service telehealth clinic running weight loss beside microdosing, longevity, skincare, hormone replacement and testosterone. Its GLP-1 line covers compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide injections, compounded semaglutide tablets, and brand Ozempic and Zepbound, each with its own page and published price. Pricing is quoted per week and billed in 4-week cycles, which reads cheaper than the monthly figure it works out to, and the brand rates are among the highest we track.

MEDVi

#44 of 53

5.7/10

MEDVi offers oral and injectable compounded GLP-1 care. Semaglutide is $179 for month one and $299 for refills. Trustpilot is 4.4/5 across roughly 11,000 reviews, while BBB is F/not accredited. FDA warning letter #721455 concerns misleading labeling and marketing, not an allegation that the medication was unsafe.

Pros & Cons Compared

Luvo Health

Pros

+Publishes a price on every medication page and a full 4-week grid on /pricing, with no intake required to see either
+Three compounded formats including oral semaglutide tablets, plus a dedicated microdosing line with its own products
+Cancel any time, with a published refund policy
+Claims no accreditation it cannot support, which is rarer than it should be
+Will transfer your prescription to any licensed pharmacy you choose, in writing, and coordinates it for you. Most compounded programs we track lock you to their own pharmacy

Cons

−Brand pricing is the highest we track: Ozempic $1,299 per 4 weeks ($325/week) and Zepbound $350/week, roughly $1,408/mo against NovoCare self-pay at $349
−Prices are quoted per WEEK and billed per 4-WEEK cycle, so a year is 13 cycles rather than 12 and costs more than the monthly reading suggests
−The cheaper per-week floors ($45 semaglutide, $67 tirzepatide) require longer commitments whose terms and totals are never published
−No medical director, prescribing clinician or medical group is named anywhere
−No compounding pharmacy is named; 'prepared by licensed pharmacies' is as specific as the site gets
−No legal entity is disclosed on the homepage, pricing page or FAQ
−No lab panel is offered or required, and no third-party review profile could be located

MEDVi

Pros

+One of the few compounded providers offering both oral tablets and injectable semaglutide
+Micro-dosing options available, can start at sub-standard doses for patients concerned about side effects
+Sleek onboarding experience with clear progress tracking through their patient portal
+$179 covers the first month of compounded semaglutide on the current Katalys landing, including clinician review, medication and shipping

Cons

−FDA warning letter #721455, issued February 20, 2026, cites misleading labeling and marketing that implied MEDVi compounded the drugs and that compounded products were equivalent to or FDA-evaluated like approved brands. The letter does not allege unsafe medication
−Its third-party records conflict: 4.4/5 across roughly 11,000 Trustpilot reviews, but an F and no accreditation at the BBB
−The $179 semaglutide price is introductory; the current Katalys landing says refills are $299/mo, making the first-year total $3,468 rather than $2,148
−Brand-name Wegovy and Zepbound paths add a $99 membership plus the medication cost, which the current landing does not publish; availability can change
−No insurance accepted, and oral compounded semaglutide has less clinical data than injectable forms

Our Verdict

MEDVi edges out Luvo Health with a score of 5.7/10 vs 2.4/10. Published pricing is not a like-for-like monthly comparison: Luvo Health is from $249/mo; MEDVi is $179 first month, then $299/mo.

Cheapest complete recurring price in our index

Eden Health GLP-1

$99/mo month-to-month, from $34 on a plan · 6.9/10 · Both

Both Luvo Health and MEDVi start above the cheapest complete recurring program we track. Across all 53 providers in our index, the lowest price with affirmative medication, consultation, and shipping inclusion is Eden Health GLP-1 at $99/mo, price checked August 28, 2026. It scores 6.9/10 and is not the highest-scored provider in our full rankings, so this is a cost floor rather than a recommendation. Worth knowing before you decide.
