Pros & Cons Compared

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

  • 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
