SkinnyRx
A compounded tirzepatide TABLET at the same price as the injection — but the advertised $299 is the twelve-month rate, not the monthly one.
$399/mo ($299 on a 12-month plan)
FDA warning letter
FDA issued Lean Rx, Inc. dba SkinnyRx a warning letter in February 2026 (False & Misleading Claims/Misbranded (Telehealth)). Read the letter on FDA’s own warning-letter database.
Obu Health's site rate-limited this review's verification attempt, so its specific LegitScript ID couldn't be independently reconfirmed this check. It names two 503A compounding pharmacy partners directly — Manifest Pharmacy SC and RX Compounding Store FL — a genuine transparency signal above the category baseline. Every fact here comes from the company's own published program.
A rate-limited verification attempt
This review attempted to independently verify Obu Health's specific LegitScript ID (#44206977,) directly, but the site returned a rate-limit response on repeated attempts — the claim is presented here rather than this check.

What Obu Health is
Obu Health is a Las Vegas-based multi-product telehealth platform, offering compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide plus NAD+ and sermorelin add-ons, generic ED medication, and birth control on a single platform. It discloses a 24-hour US board-certified physician response window.
What Obu Health costs
Semaglutide starts from $190/month and tirzepatide from $239/month, though per-dose pricing tiers beyond the starting figure aren't transparently published on product pages.
The brand-vs-compounded question
Obu Health dispenses compounded tirzepatide, not the FDA-approved branded product. Compounded tirzepatide is pharmacy-made, not itself an FDA-approved finished drug, and was not the specific product studied in the pivotal trials. See our guide to whether compounded tirzepatide is still legal in 2026 for the regulatory picture.
How the care model holds up
Obu Health's real strengths: two named 503A compounding pharmacy partners, a lower advertised semaglutide starting price than most multi-product peers, a multi-product offering for single-platform users, and a 24-hour physician response window. The trade-offs: per-dose pricing tiers aren't transparently published, no explicit state-coverage list is disclosed, the medical director isn't named, consultation fee disclosure is missing, and all sales are final per its FAQ — no medication returns are allowed under federal and state law. This review's own live LegitScript verification attempt was also blocked by a rate limit, so treat that specific ID as rather than freshly confirmed. As with any GLP-1 program, and especially one with an all-sales-final policy, confirm your full price before committing; tirzepatide carries labeled warnings for acute pancreatitis, gallbladder disease, and a boxed thyroid C-cell tumor warning — see our guides on Zepbound side effects, the gallbladder risk, and the thyroid cancer warning.
Does the drug work? (Separate from the provider)
Judge the provider on price, oversight and disclosure; judge the molecule on its trials. Tirzepatide's are strong — roughly 15–21% of body weight over 72 weeks in SURMOUNT-11, and better than semaglutide head-to-head2 — but they were run on the brand drug at FDA-approved doses. Our tirzepatide evidence guide has the full picture.
The honest verdict
Obu Health's two named 503A pharmacies are a genuine transparency strength but the all-sales-final policy and unpublished per-dose pricing tiers are worth reading closely, and this review couldn't independently reconfirm its LegitScript ID due to a rate limit. For a provider with a genuinely reconfirmed LegitScript seal, compare it against Ondra Health or NewSelf. For a nurse-practitioner-led provider with named founders but a similarly missing accreditation badge, see Onyx Weight Loss. See our best tirzepatide providers ranking for the full field.
