MEDVi vs TrimRx at a glance

Compare the price unit as well as the number. A medication-only price, prepaid monthly equivalent and complete recurring program are not the same thing.

FeatureMEDViTrimRx
Why each oneA daily dissolvable GLP-1 tablet and a weekly compounded injection in one program, plus brand-name Wegovy and Zepbound on a $99 membership.
Four compounded products through one intake, injectable and oral, plus a shipping policy that grants a refund if nothing ships within 14 days. Neither resolves the price conflict between its offer page and its terms, nor the fulfillment complaint record.

Trade-offs

Strengths and cautions compared

MEDVi

Pros

  • +One of the few compounded providers offering both oral tablets and injectable semaglutide
  • +The landing page says the program is HSA and FSA eligible and includes dietician visits and care coaching, with a footnote making that subject to insurance and copay eligibility
  • +Sleek onboarding experience with clear progress tracking through their patient portal
1 more documented strengths
  • +$179 covers the first month of compounded semaglutide on MEDVi's landing page, including physician review, the personalized plan, medication and free 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: 4.3 out of 5 across 14,680 Trustpilot reviews with 12 percent of them at one star, against an F and no accreditation at the BBB
  • −The $179 semaglutide price covers month one only; the FAQ on MEDVi's own landing page says refills are locked in at $299 a month, making the first year $3,468 rather than $2,148
2 more documented cautions
  • −Brand-name Wegovy and Zepbound paths add a $99 membership plus a medication cost the page does not publish, and the same page's hero says "No membership or hidden fees!" directly above those cards; availability is subject to change
  • −No insurance accepted, and oral compounded semaglutide has less clinical data than injectable forms

TrimRx

Pros

  • +One intake covers compounded GLP-1 and GLP-1 + GIP injections plus compounded oral versions of both
  • +The offer page checked September 3 advertised a $149 entry floor for GLP-1 and $249 for GLP-1 + GIP, although neither figure matches the medication schedule in the official terms
  • +The intake is a short online assessment with no video call, and the terms say compounded medication generally ships within 48 business hours of the prescription reaching the pharmacy
1 more documented strengths
  • +A published shipping policy that gives you the right to request a refund if your medication has not shipped within 14 days of the order, whatever the status of the medical review

Cons

  • −The $149 floor on an offer page checked September 3 is not what TrimRx's own terms charge: GLP-1 is listed there at $199 for the first month then $299, and GLP-1 + GIP at $349 then $399. Its homepage advertises a third pair of figures, $179 and $259, so confirm the exact charge at checkout
  • −Trustpilot is 3.6/5 across 5,632 reviews with 32% one star, checked 2026-09-03; BBB rated TrimRx F and not accredited with 728 unanswered and 221 unresolved complaints when we last read the profile on August 14, 2026
  • −The same paid-but-no-medication, billing, refund and fulfillment themes recur across BBB and Trustpilot, meeting our rubric's cross-platform -3.0 fulfillment-failure threshold
3 more documented cautions
  • −TrimRx lists brand Wegovy and Ozempic at $1,149 and brand Zepbound and Mounjaro at $1,249 as in stock, while the footer on those same pages says it does not sell, dispense or ship any branded medication and that you are responsible for filling the prescription at your own pharmacy and cost. Its compounded products are not FDA-approved finished products.
  • −No insurance billing, so treat the monthly price as a pure cash-pay number. TrimRx does accept HSA and FSA cards among its payment methods
  • −A TrimRx offer page checked September 3 promised "we guarantee you'll lose weight or your money back", but a disclaimer lower on the same page says weight loss is not guaranteed, and the terms allow refunds only for medical disqualification, a billing error, or unused prepaid months requested within 28 days (verified 2026-09-03)

Our Verdict

MEDVi edges out TrimRx with a score of 5.7/10 vs 5.3/10. Published pricing is not a like-for-like monthly comparison: MEDVi is $179 first month, then $299/mo; TrimRx is published $149/mo; total not verified.

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 MEDVi and TrimRx start above the cheapest complete recurring program we track. Across all 36 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.
