Compounded semaglutide
Velvet Rx review
Velvet Rx's $99 semaglutide price is the 12-month package. Buy one month at a time and it's $159 for every four-week supply, or about $173 a calendar month. That rate is the same on day one and after any dose change.
Is it right for you?
Worth a look if
- You want no introductory pricing that jumps later, since the one-month semaglutide price never changes.
- You'd like the doctor consult and shipping rolled into each four-week order.
- You want to pay nothing until a provider signs off.
Skip it if
- You want the advertised rate without committing to a full year.
- Clear written answers matter to you before you start, since the site's FAQ doesn't give them.
What's included
Every order includes a doctor consult, unlimited one-to-one support from the medical team, a written prescription, four weeks of compounded semaglutide and free shipping. On the one-month plan the price is marked “No Price Changes Ever.”
Packages of three, six and twelve months cost less per month. Velvet also offers semaglutide as a daily tablet, and compounded tirzepatide at $271 a month.
Rocket Health Inc., based in Oceanside, California, operates Velvet Rx and may appear on your card statement. Raven-Symoné promotes the program on the homepage.
From sign-up to refills
- Answer the two-minute quiz. It asks for your name and state before the plans appear.
- Choose a package length. Nothing is due until you're approved.
- A provider looks over your health history and prescribes semaglutide if appropriate.
- Your four-week supply ships free, and the one-month plan renews every 28 days until you stop it.
What's good, what isn't
What's good
- Velvet Rx marks the one-month semaglutide price “No Price Changes Ever,” so no intro rate jumps later.
- Checkout at Velvet shows nothing due today; you pay for semaglutide once a provider approves you.
- Each Velvet order bundles the consult, unlimited 1:1 support and free shipping with four weeks of medicine.
What isn't
- The $99 semaglutide rate Velvet Rx advertises needs a 12-month package.
- Velvet's homepage calls its medication FDA-approved; compounded semaglutide is not FDA-approved.
- Billing every 28 days means 13 semaglutide charges a year, not 12.
Read these terms first
- FDA claim on the homepage
- Velvet's homepage says “FDA-Approved medication.” Compounded semaglutide is not FDA-approved. Confirm with the provider what you will receive.
- Help pages
- Each FAQ question on the homepage shows the same answer about insurance. Ask support directly about refunds and cancellation before you pay.
- Refunds
- Rocket Health's terms say processed medication orders may not be refundable, and discounted packages may be non-refundable. Weigh that before prepaying a longer package.
