Brand comparison
TrimRx vs MEDVi
Short answer: TrimRx lists GLP-1 from $179 and GLP-1 + GIP from $279 as "starting at" figures with no billing period; MEDVi lists compounded GLP-1 injections at an introductory $99 for the first month, then $199 for refills (both checked 31 October 2026). MEDVi names its three pharmacies, its prescriber network and its refund terms, and has an FDA warning letter on its record; TrimRx names no pharmacy, publishes narrower refund terms and states its price does not move as your dose does. Both sell compounded medication, which is not FDA-approved.

Quick editorial read
TrimRx and MEDVi both sell compounded GLP-1 treatment online at similar entry figures, so the comparison is about what each publishes: MEDVi names its pharmacies, prescribers and refund terms and has an FDA warning letter on record; TrimRx states a price that does not move with the dose and publishes less about its supply chain. This page sets out what each states. It does not rank one above the other.

At-a-glance comparison
Trim Rx
Full profile- Best for
- Cash-pay buyers who want one flat figure covering medication, clinician review, delivery and check-ins, with no separate pharmacy bill to reconcile. It also suits people whose dose is likely to rise, because TrimRx states the cost does not move when the dose does. It is a weaker fit if you want a named compounding pharmacy, published refund terms, or structured coaching before you commit.
- Pricing
- Two published plans: GLP-1 from $179 and GLP-1 + GIP from $279, with no billing period stated (TrimRx plan cards, checked 31 October 2026). TrimRx states the price covers the consultation, the medication, custom dosing, delivery and unlimited check-ins, with no insurance required, and that "your treatment cost remains steady, even as your dose changes". A provider may instead write a prescription for an FDA-approved branded medication, which TrimRx does not sell, dispense or ship: that route is filled at a pharmacy of your choosing and paid for separately.
- Access
- Compounded GLP-1 and GLP-1 + GIP treatment, prescribed only where a clinician in a third-party US-licensed network judges it appropriate. TrimRx states its compounded medicines are prepared and shipped by a state-licensed sterile compounding pharmacy, are produced in FDA-registered facilities, and are not FDA-approved or evaluated by the FDA for safety, effectiveness or quality.
MEDVi
Full profile- Best for
- Buyers who want the supply chain written down before they pay. MEDVi is one of the few programmes at this price point that names its partner pharmacies, names the prescriber network, and publishes a full cancellation and refund policy. It also suits people weighing a compounded plan against a branded one on the same platform, since it prices both.
- Pricing
- Compounded GLP-1 injections are an introductory $99 for the first month and $199 for refills (checked 31 October 2026). Compounded GLP-1 tablets start at $249, with no period stated on the card (checked 1 November 2026). Branded routes are sold differently, as a $99 membership plus the cost of the medication itself (checked 1 November 2026). MEDVi states there is no membership fee or hidden fee on the compounded plans, that no insurance is required, that shipping is free, and that the plans are HSA/FSA approved.
- Access
- Compounded GLP-1 injections and tablets, plus branded GLP-1 routes sold as a membership plus medication cost. Prescriptions are issued only after an online consultation with an independent licensed provider. MEDVi states that compounded medications are dispensed by state-licensed pharmacies but are not FDA approved, and that although the facilities are FDA-regulated the medicines are not FDA-approved or evaluated for safety, efficacy or quality.
Is TrimRx or MEDVi cheaper?
On the first month, MEDVi's introductory $99 is the lower figure against TrimRx's GLP-1 plan from $179. After that MEDVi's refills are $199, and TrimRx's $179 is a "starting at" figure with no billing period stated, so neither can be called a monthly price with certainty (both checked 31 October 2026). TrimRx's GLP-1 + GIP plan is from $279; MEDVi prices its tirzepatide-only page separately, as set out in our MEDVi review.
The figure that decides a year's cost is what happens as the dose rises. TrimRx states its cost stays the same as the dose changes; MEDVi says refills are locked in at the refill price and says nothing about dose. For both providers' figures over 3, 6 and 12 months, read daily, see the US GLP-1 price index.
Which publishes more: pharmacies, prescribers and refunds
MEDVi names three partner compounding pharmacies (Triad Rx, Red Rock Home Pharmacy and Beaker Pharmacy), names OpenLoop Health as its prescriber network and publishes a cancellation and refund policy with a 72-hour cooling-off refund. TrimRx names no pharmacy, describes its prescribers only as third-party networks of US-licensed clinicians, and its refund terms, read on 17 October 2026, give a full refund only for medical ineligibility or a billing error.
Neither lists the states it serves, so eligibility is only discoverable at intake. Both say plainly that they are not pharmacies and that a licensed clinician makes the prescribing decision.
The public record: an FDA letter, two F ratings
On 20 February 2026 the FDA issued warning letter 721455 to MEDVi, LLC dba MEDVi, over the labelling and marketing of its compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide products; on 18 October 2026 the FDA's page showed no close-out. We found no FDA warning letter addressed to TrimRx on a search of fda.gov the same day, which is "none found" rather than proof. Both carry an F from the Better Business Bureau: TrimRx with 2,652 complaints in three years and MEDVi with 782 (both read 22 October 2026). Trustpilot splits them: 4.3 from 15,102 reviews for MEDVi (read 26 October 2026) against 3.4 from 4,930 for TrimRx (read 22 October 2026). A complaint count and a review score measure different things.
The complaint themes on both records are billing and cancellation: charges before approval, charges after cancelling, and refunds that are slow or refused. Whichever you choose, cancel in writing, before the notice period, and keep the confirmation.
How to choose
TrimRx and MEDVi both sell compounded GLP-1 treatment online at similar entry figures, so the comparison is about what each publishes: MEDVi names its pharmacies, prescribers and refund terms and has an FDA warning letter on record; TrimRx states a price that does not move with the dose and publishes less about its supply chain. This page sets out what each states. It does not rank one above the other.
The right provider is the one that can explain eligibility, costs, side effects, refills, and support before you commit. Avoid treating GLP-1 access as a generic checkout flow; consultation is required and availability varies.
Pricing and access
TrimRx: GLP-1 from $179 and GLP-1 + GIP from $279, "starting at" figures with no billing period stated, presented as all-inclusive (checked 31 October 2026). MEDVi: an introductory $99 for the first month of compounded GLP-1 injections, then $199 for refills, with no membership fee on the compounded plans (checked 31 October 2026).
Compounded medication at both: TrimRx's GLP-1 and GLP-1 + GIP plans, MEDVi's compounded GLP-1 injections and tablets. Both state that compounded medicines are not FDA-approved. A licensed clinician decides whether to prescribe, and at TrimRx may instead write a prescription for a branded medicine filled elsewhere.
Users comparing local care can also review PCF city hubs such as Miami, New York, and Los Angeles.
Each provider has its own review: the TrimRx review sets out its two plans, its refund terms and its BBB and Trustpilot record in full, and the MEDVi review sets out its introductory and refill prices, its three pharmacies, its refund policy and the FDA warning letter.
Consultation, delivery, and follow-up
Both begin with an online assessment. At MEDVi an OpenLoop Health clinician consults with you after checkout and decides whether you qualify; at TrimRx a clinician in a third-party network reviews your answers, with a telehealth call where more is needed. Both take payment before that decision and refund in full if you are found medically ineligible.
Both include shipping in the price. MEDVi says it is free and discreet, from one of its three named pharmacies; TrimRx says it is free and tracked, from a pharmacy it does not name.
If a provider cannot clearly explain who reviews your intake, how side effects are handled, or what happens when your refill is due, keep comparing before you proceed.
Trim Rx
Trim Rx is strongest for cash-pay buyers comparing all-inclusive compounded GLP-1 pricing, particularly where a rising dose would push a tiered competitor's cost up. What it publishes about price is unusually clear; what it publishes about pharmacies, refunds and states is not.
Pros
- Flat all-inclusive pricing with no separate pharmacy invoice to reconcile
- Price held steady across dose increases, which is where tiered competitors get more expensive
- Clear published disclosure of the compounded/FDA position and of its own role in the chain
- A branded-medication route exists if the clinician prefers it
Considerations
- No compounding pharmacy is named, only "a state-licensed sterile compounding pharmacy"
- Narrow refund terms: once a prescription reaches the pharmacy that order is filled, and a prepaid multi-month refund must be requested within 28 days of payment (terms read 17 October 2026)
- BBB rates TrimRx F, lists 2,701 complaints filed in the last three years, and opened a business practice inquiry in March 2026 that TrimRx had not fully answered as of 17 June 2026, the latest date the BBB gives (BBB profile, read 1 November 2026)
- No list of states served, so eligibility is only discoverable by starting intake
- The branded route is priced by whichever pharmacy fills it, so the all-inclusive figure does not apply to it
- Marketing carries heavy outcome statistics that TrimRx’s own small print says "do not represent clinical outcomes or individual results"
MEDVi
MEDVi is the strongest option on this list for a buyer who wants to know who compounds the medicine, who prescribes it and what happens if they stop. The disclosure is genuinely better than its competitors'; the refund terms, once read, are tighter than the marketing implies.
Pros
- Unusually complete disclosure: pharmacies, prescriber network, medical entity and refund terms are all published
- Both compounded and branded routes priced on the same platform, so the two can be compared directly
- Full refund if a clinician disqualifies you on medical grounds
- 24/7 support and a patient portal for messaging and progress tracking
Considerations
- No refund for the month in which you cancel, or for any prior month, on a monthly plan
- Cancellation must reach support at least 72 hours before the next billing date or the next cycle is charged
- Care coaching and dietician visits are qualified as "subject to insurance and copays eligibility", so "included" is conditional
- Several advertised categories, peptides and longevity, women’s health, hair, skin and supplements, are marked "coming soon" rather than available (checked 18 September 2026)
- Marketing carries large self-reported outcome figures that MEDVi's own footnote describes as not typical

Frequently asked questions
Is TrimRx or MEDVi cheaper?
For the first month, MEDVi's introductory $99 is lower than TrimRx's GLP-1 plan from $179. MEDVi's refills are then $199, and TrimRx's figure is "starting at" with no billing period stated, so confirm the ongoing price with each before you pay. Prices checked 31 October 2026.
Is TrimRx legit? Is MEDVi legit?
Both are real, operating US telehealth platforms. Each states that it is not a pharmacy and that licensed clinicians make the prescribing decision. MEDVi names its three pharmacies and its prescriber network; TrimRx names neither. MEDVi received FDA warning letter 721455 in February 2026 over the marketing of its compounded products; we found none addressed to TrimRx. Both are rated F by the BBB (read 22 October 2026). None of this is a statement about whether treatment is right for you.
Are TrimRx and MEDVi medications FDA-approved?
No. Both sell compounded GLP-1 medication, which is prepared by a pharmacy for an individual patient and is not reviewed by the FDA for safety, effectiveness or quality, and both say so on their own sites. A TrimRx clinician may instead prescribe an FDA-approved branded medicine, which you fill and pay for at a pharmacy of your choosing; MEDVi sells branded routes as a membership plus the medication.
Which is easier to cancel, TrimRx or MEDVi?
MEDVi publishes its terms: cancel at least 72 hours before the next billing date, with a full refund inside the first 72 hours before any service or on medical disqualification, and no refund for the month of cancellation on a monthly plan. TrimRx's terms (read 17 October 2026) refund in full only for medical ineligibility or a billing error, fill any order whose prescription has reached the pharmacy, and require a prepaid multi-month refund to be requested within 28 days of payment.
Do TrimRx and MEDVi serve every state?
Neither publishes a list of the states it serves. Both say availability depends on clinical eligibility and, at MEDVi, on the state you are in. You find out at intake.
Editorial transparency
PCF separates clinical information from sponsored links. Some provider links may be sponsored, but all providers are described with cautious medical language: treatment may be available, consultation is required, and clinical appropriateness is determined by a licensed professional.
Provider details can change. Before starting any program, verify the current price, medication path, clinician credentials, pharmacy process, shipping terms, and follow-up support directly with the provider.
