Provider review
LumiMeds review
Every price on the marketing pages is the twelve-month prepay floor.
The figure you see first requires a year paid up front in one charge. The month-to-month rates are roughly double it. And the plan set varies only by how long you commit, never by how much drug you take.

In one paragraph
The verdict
Taking less costs you nothing less here, because nothing about the price responds to the dose — the plans differ only in how long you commit. Give LumiMeds credit for publishing a titration schedule in actual milligrams, from a quarter-milligram start upward, which most of this category will not do at all. It just never attaches a price to any rung of it. Two things cost you. Every figure on the product pages is the twelve-month floor, and paying that rate means handing over a year in a single charge; the recurring month-to-month rates are roughly double what the pages advertise. And the site's own footer Pricing link leads to a page that isn't there, so the one place you would go to check is missing. Credit where it is due on the arithmetic, though: every multi-month total divides exactly by its advertised per-month figure.
Microdosing is off-label and unproven — decide with a clinician. Prices are as published by the provider when we last checked; confirm current terms before you buy.
Who it suits, and who it does not
A good fit if
- You want a titration schedule in milligrams published before you start, even with no prices attached to it.
- You can pay for a year in one charge and want the lowest rate on offer.
- You want the dosage form stated precisely rather than described in general terms.
Look elsewhere if
- You are taking less to spend less. Nothing in the plan set responds to the dose.
- You are budgeting from the advertised figure. It is the twelve-month floor, and month to month costs roughly twice that.
- You want the recurring rate stated in the marketing copy rather than found at checkout.
- You want the dispensing pharmacy named, or your state confirmed before you order.
What it actually costs
Price as published
Compounded semaglutide $189/month and compounded tirzepatide $249/month month-to-month · prepay rungs semaglutide 3-month $399 ($133/mo), 6-month $690 ($115/mo), 12-month $1,068 ($89/mo); tirzepatide 3-month $498 ($166/mo), 6-month $840 ($140/mo), 12-month $1,500 ($125/mo); NAD+ monthly $199, 3-month $449 ($149/mo) · every multi-month total divides exactly by its advertised per-month figure · every figure published on the marketing pages is the 12-month prepay floor — "as low as $89/mo" semaglutide and "as low as $125/mo" tirzepatide — and the month-to-month rates are 112% and 99% higher · "$89/mo" means $1,068 charged up front for a year · the plan set varies only by duration: four semaglutide plans, four tirzepatide plans, no dose variants at all
- Vs median
- $20/mo above the $169 median across the 242 of 373 programs we track that publish a plain monthly rate
- Market
- $59–$1300/mo is the full published spread in our ranking
- Structure
- Standard plan, self-directed low dose
No low-dose product of its own. Starting low means asking for a smaller amount inside a standard plan, at the standard plan's price.
152 of the 373 programs we track price a small dose this way. The row records a plan set that varies only by commitment length, with no dose variants and no dose basis stated in either direction, so the dose-to-price relationship is unestablished rather than flat. It also records that every figure published on the marketing pages is the twelve-month prepay floor, roughly half the month-to-month rate, and that the floor is taken as a single up-front charge for a year. The row records one genuine strength: a per-month titration schedule published in milligrams, which most of this category does not publish at all — with no price attached to any rung of it.

What it does well
- Publishes a specific per-month titration schedule in milligrams — "Month 1 0.25mg … Month 2 0.5mg … Month 3+ …", up to 15mg for the GIP product — where most of this category publishes no mg at all
- States the dosage form precisely: "Subcutaneous multi-dose vial + syringe", "Source 503A pharmacy"
- Every multi-month total divides exactly by its advertised per-month figure, with no rounding in its own favor
- Discloses its own limits plainly: "LumiMeds is a patient management platform … payment does not guarantee the writing or dispensing of a prescription"
Pharmacy, labs and oversight
LumiMeds does not publicly identify the pharmacy that fills its prescriptions. No bloodwork is required before you start. A clinician review is included in the price.

FDA warning letter
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration issued a warning letter to LumiMeds in September 2025. It is addressed to Lumimeds — search that name, not ours, to find it. We are not summarizing what it says — read it at the source. This does not change how LumiMeds is listed here or whether we are paid for a click to it, and we would rather you knew both of those things at once.
How the program works
LumiMeds sells compounded semaglutide and compounded tirzepatide as weekly subcutaneous injections, plus NAD+, on monthly, three-, six- and twelve-month subscriptions. The plan set varies only by commitment length — there are no dose variants in it anywhere. Its product pages publish a per-month titration schedule in milligrams but attach no price to any rung, and quote only an "as low as" floor rather than the recurring rate. It describes itself as "a patient management platform" that "does not directly provide medical or pharmacy services", and no compounding pharmacy is named.
The honest cons
THE PLAN SET VARIES ONLY BY DURATION, NEVER BY DOSE — four semaglutide plans, four tirzepatide plans, no dose variants at all — so what a low dose costs cannot be established
- EVERY PUBLIC PRICE IS THE 12-MONTH PREPAY FLOOR. The product pages say only "as low as $89/mo" and "as low as $125/mo"; the month-to-month rates are $189 and $249, which is 112% and 99% higher
- "$89/mo" MEANS $1,068 CHARGED UP FRONT for a year, not a monthly bill
- The titration schedule is published in milligrams with no price against any rung, so the one place a dose appears is the one place a price does not
- lumimeds.com/pricing, the destination of the site's own footer Pricing link, does not resolve (checked 2026-08-10)
- Trust figures are asserted on the page — "Trusted by 50,000+ patients", "TrustScore 4.6, 925 reviews"
- No compounding pharmacy is named — only "Source 503A pharmacy" and "a state-licensed compounding pharmacy"
- States served are not published
- Compounded GLP-1s are not FDA-approved, and intentional microdosing is off-label and unproven

How it compares
LumiMeds is one of 373 low-dose GLP-1 programs we track, and 242 of them publish a monthly rate you can read before signing up. The ranking lists every published price on one screen, ordered with the companies that pay us first — a mechanism we state there, on the page it applies to.

Intentional GLP-1 microdosing is off-label and unproven — no randomized trial has established that a sub-label dose does anything, and any dose belongs with a clinician who knows your history. If you are going to have that conversation, have it with real numbers.
