Compounded semaglutide
Ivim Health review
On Ivim Health's one-month plan, compounded semaglutide is $199, and the membership every patient must carry is added on top for $274 a month. What that membership pays for is a provider who reads a weekly check-in and adjusts your dose. Before you buy, know that a program can't be canceled once it starts.
Is it right for you?
Worth a look if
- You're new to semaglutide and want someone watching each dose step through weekly check-ins.
- You might later want brand-name Wegovy, since Ivim's providers also prescribe it and handle insurance approvals.
- You'd value coaching, a member community and an app as part of the monthly cost.
Skip it if
- You're comparing sellers on the medication price alone. The membership adds to every month.
- You want the same pharmacy every time. Ivim's can change between orders.
- You're in Mississippi.
What's included
Ivim lists semaglutide under 1 Month Continued Care at $199 for the medication. The membership sits on top, and the listing's total comes to $274. Longer programs exist, such as two months of continued care or a two-month Jumpstart for newcomers, all paid up front.
Membership is where most of Ivim's pitch sits. It includes unlimited provider visits, functional health coaches, a patient experience team and 20% off Ivim's supplements. The GLP-1 ID model adds weekly progress check-ins through the Ivim app, so dose changes can come between appointments.
Independent licensed compounding pharmacies make the semaglutide. Ivim works with 503A and 503B facilities and picks one based on your state and supply. It isn't Wegovy or Ozempic, and Ivim's pages say plainly that it is not FDA-approved.
From sign-up to refills
- Answer the dynamic health questionnaire, which screens you for eligibility.
- Talk to an Ivim provider by video or chat. They review your history and build a treatment plan.
- Pick your program and pay the program fee. Your provider finalizes the plan and sends the prescription out.
- Log a short check-in through the app every week so your provider can track side effects and progress.
- Request refills when your plan calls for them. Each one needs a check-in and an active membership before it's approved.
What's good, what isn't
What's good
- Ivim's semaglutide outcomes were published in Obesity Pillars, from a study of 1,131 of its patients.
- Weekly check-ins in the Ivim app let your provider change the semaglutide dose between visits.
- Ivim accepts HSA and FSA cards for compounded semaglutide.
What isn't
- Semaglutide at $199 carries a mandatory monthly membership, which lifts a one-month program to $274.
- Under Ivim's refund policy, prescribed medication is non-refundable regardless of usage or program length.
- The advertised semaglutide price differs between Ivim's homepage and product page, so trust the checkout total.
Read these terms first
- Membership after the program
- Ivim's membership is a recurring subscription. It keeps charging until you cancel it under the Subscriptions tab in My Account, which you can do once the program's final payment is made.
- Refill timing
- A program's clock starts on the purchase date and doesn't pause. Medication you haven't requested by the end, plus a 14-day grace period, is forfeited.
- Which starting price applies
- The homepage and the semaglutide page show different starting prices. Confirm the program length and the total on the checkout screen.
