Compounded semaglutide
Care Clinics review
Care Clinics prices semaglutide as short prepaid programs, not a monthly plan. The entry point on its Texas booking list is four weeks at 0.5 mg for $269, about $292 per calendar month if you keep rebooking. Stronger doses cost more per program but last five to six weeks.
Is it right for you?
Worth a look if
- You want to pay per program and never worry about a renewal charge.
- You'd take a 12-week program that raises the dose for you.
- You want a real video visit with a provider before anything ships.
Skip it if
- You want to start at 0.25 mg, since the Texas list begins at 0.5 mg.
- You're in California, where Care Clinics charges more.
- You'd rather not rebook an appointment every few weeks.
What's included
Every semaglutide program bundles a telehealth audio and video consultation, the medication, syringes, alcohol pads, a dosing schedule and courier delivery. Care Clinics says there are no memberships, no hidden fees and no insurance needed.
Beyond the four-week 0.5 mg start, the Texas list runs single-strength programs from 0.75 mg to 2.5 mg over five or six weeks each. A 12-week fall program steps from 0.5 mg to 1.7 mg, with a follow-up visit at the end. The homepage also advertises a seven-week beginner vial.
Prescriptions are sent to 503A pharmacies such as Partell Pharmacy. For tirzepatide, the same clinic's shortest program works out to about $325 a month.
From sign-up to refills
- Pick your state in the booking portal to see that state's semaglutide programs and prices.
- Book the program you want and pay the booking deposit, which is credited to the program.
- Talk with a provider by video.
- The pharmacy ships the vial and supplies once the prescription is written.
- Book the next program when you're close to running out.
What's good, what isn't
What's good
- Care Clinics bundles the visit, vial, supplies and courier shipping into each program price.
- The 12-week fall program steps from 0.5 mg to 1.7 mg and ends with a follow-up visit.
- No auto-renewal at Care Clinics: each semaglutide program is bought once.
What isn't
- Care Clinics' About page calls semaglutide FDA-approved, but compounded semaglutide is not FDA-approved.
- There's no 0.25 mg starter on the Texas portal list, so the first Care Clinics program begins at 0.5 mg.
- The FAQ quotes both 3 to 5 and 7 to 10 business days for delivery, so timing is unclear.
Read these terms first
- FDA wording
- One of Care Clinics' pages calls semaglutide an FDA Approved treatment, and the FAQ calls its pharmacies FDA approved. Compounded semaglutide is not FDA-approved.
- State pricing
- Program prices change by state. The FAQ explains that California is higher because few pharmacies can ship there.
- Your starting dose
- If you've never taken semaglutide, ask whether the seven-week beginner vial on the homepage is available in your state.
