$155/mo sema · $279/mo tirz, varies by dose
Visit Tuyo HealthIts compounded side does the rare and useful thing: it states outright that pricing varies by dose, so the figures are labeled as floors rather than passed off as flat rates. Its brand cards advertise a copay while the cash-pay panel on the same page asks a different order of magnitude.

In one paragraph
The verdict
There are two tracks here and they are priced very differently in how honest they are with you. The compounded one is genuinely good: it says in the provider's own words that the price varies by dose, which is the single disclosure a low-dose reader needs and which most sellers replace with a flat-sounding figure that is nothing of the kind. Take that seriously — it means the quoted number is a floor the provider admits is a floor, and someone staying small has a reasonable expectation of paying near it. The brand track is where to be careful. Its cards lead with an insured copay, and the cash-pay panel a few inches down the same page asks a figure many times larger, plus a membership the compounded track does not charge. Both numbers are true. Which one applies to you is decided by a plan the page knows nothing about, and the card does not say so.

Who it suits, and who it does not
A good fit if
- You are staying at a low dose and want a provider that admits the price moves with it.
- You want the compounded track, which carries no membership fee and includes quarterly lab work.
- You want both a compounded and a brand-name route available from one place.
Look elsewhere if
- You are uninsured and read the brand cards first. The cash-pay figure is a different order of magnitude.
- You want a fixed number. Both compounded figures are floors, with no ceiling published.
- You want to know who compounds your medication before you order. No pharmacy is named.
What it actually costs
Price as published
$155/mo sema · $279/mo tirz, varies by dose
- Vs median
- $20/mo below the $175 median across the 299 of 548 programs here that publish a plain monthly rate
- Market
- $59–$1,300/mo is the full published spread on this site
- Structure
- Quotes off the lowest dose
States plainly that its advertised figures are based on the lowest dosage and that higher doses may cost more. On a general ranking that is a warning; for someone staying small it is the one model that bills accordingly.
49 of the 548 programs here price a small dose this way. It says in its own words that pricing varies by dose, which on a general ranking reads as a warning and for someone deliberately staying small is the one structure that bills accordingly. The quoted figures are floors and the provider admits it, so a low-dose patient can at least expect to be near them rather than paying a full-dose rate for a quarter of the drug.

FDA warning letter
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration issued a warning letter to Tuyo Health in September 2025. It is addressed to Tuyo Health, Inc. dba Tuyo Health — 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 Tuyo Health 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
Tuyo Health runs two tracks and prices them on one screen, which is where the trouble starts. On the compounded side it states outright that pricing "varies by dose", so the quoted figures are labeled as starting points rather than passed off as flat rates. That is exactly the disclosure a low-dose reader needs, and it is the reason to take this row seriously. The brand side is the problem. Its cards advertise Wegovy and Zepbound at "as low as $25/mo", and the cash-pay panel a few inches away prices the same two drugs at $499 and $399 with a $99 membership on top. Both are true — the first with insurance, the second without — but a card that leads with $25 is describing an outcome that depends entirely on a plan the page knows nothing about.
The honest cons
Brand cards advertise "as low as $25/mo" while the cash-pay price on the same page is $499 and $399.
- The brand track adds a $99 membership fee the compounded track does not have.
- Both compounded figures are "as low as", and no ladder or ceiling is published for either.
