MEDVi reviews: what it costs, what customers report, and a brand GLP-1 from your own doctor
A $179 first month of MEDVi compounded semaglutide becomes $299 a refill on its main GLP-1 page (Nov 2026). See its BBB record and refund rules, and how a FutureClinic doctor can prescribe brand Wegovy or Zepbound.
The short answer
As of November 2026, the BBB gives MEDVi an F rating, citing 788 complaints (customer allegations) in three years and a failure to respond to 147; its 640 customer reviews average 1.82 out of 5. On its main GLP-1 page, MEDVi charges $179 for the first month of compounded semaglutide injections and $299 for each refill.
Key facts
- MEDVi's own page says compounded medicines are not FDA-approved; NovoCare sells the FDA-approved Wegovy pill self-pay, with no membership, for $149 to $299 a month by dose (checked October 25, 2026).
- MEDVi bills on a 28-day cycle (13 yearly charges); cancel 72 hours ahead, with no monthly refunds unless a clinician disqualifies you or you cancel within the first 72 hours before receiving any services.
- Every FutureClinic visit is with a licensed MD, DO or MBBS physician who sends a personal video or voice note and can manage other health needs in their specialty.
MEDVi's monthly program sells compounded semaglutide (its checkout price list also includes compounded tirzepatide injections), and also brand Wegovy and Zepbound, on a 28-day billing cycle, and its own page notes that compounded medicines are not FDA-approved. Brand Wegovy and Zepbound are sold self-pay by their makers without a membership; a FutureClinic physician can prescribe one by message if your doctor decides it's right for you, with no subscription required.
What is MEDVi and how does its program work?
MEDVi sells a monthly GLP-1 program and claims over 500,000 patients on its home page (November 2026). Its GLP-1 page offers compounded injections and tablets plus brand Wegovy and Zepbound; on its home page, MEDVi states that clinicians from OpenLoop Health and CareGLP Affiliated P.C.s treat patients, and that partner pharmacies include Triad Rx, RedRock Pharmacy and Beaker Pharmacy & Compounding.
How much does MEDVi cost after the first month?
On MEDVi's main GLP-1 page (November 2026), compounded semaglutide is $179 for month one ($249 for tablets) and $299 per refill, and its checkout price list also includes compounded tirzepatide injections ($279 for the first month, then $399). Offer links on its GLP-1 page change month one ($99 for semaglutide; $149 to $248 for tirzepatide), and brand Wegovy or Zepbound lists as "$99 Membership + Medication Cost" without the drug price. In BBB complaint replies (November 2026), MEDVi notes a 28-day cycle (13 charges a year).
NovoCare and LillyDirect charge no membership fee (checked October 25, 2026): Wegovy pills are $149 to $299 a month by dose, Wegovy pens are $349 a month ($399 for the 7.2 mg Wegovy HD dose; $199 for each of the first two 0.25 mg or 0.5 mg fills for people new to the offer, through December 31, 2026), and Zepbound is $299 to $449 per 28 days when refilled within 45 days. Over a year, 13 cycles of MEDVi's compounded semaglutide injection cost $3,767 (medicine and program included, assuming you stay subscribed), while 12 fills of the Wegovy pill cost $3,588 at the 25 mg dose, plus your visit fee ($40 for the best-fit doctor, or a chosen doctor's listed price, typically $20 to $100). A FutureClinic doctor can prescribe several months of a stable medicine at once when they judge it safe, to the pharmacy you choose, where insurance may cover it or a discount coupon may lower the cash price.

What do MEDVi reviews say?
As of November 4, 2026, MEDVi has an F rating on its Better Business Bureau profile (not accredited) and averages 1.82 out of 5 from 640 BBB customer reviews. The BBB records 788 complaints in three years (more than 650 in the past 12 months) and 147 unanswered complaints. These complaints are customer allegations; most are filed as service or repair issues (516) or billing issues (235), and refunds and cancelling a subscription come up often in them. Under MEDVi's cancellation policy (November 2026), you must cancel at least 72 hours before your next billing date, and billed monthly cycles are non-refundable unless a clinician disqualifies you or you cancel within the first 72 hours before receiving any services.
Are MEDVi's compounded GLP-1s FDA-approved?
MEDVi's prescriptions come from OpenLoop Health clinicians after an online consultation, and state-licensed pharmacies dispense the compounded drugs, which MEDVi's own page states are not FDA-approved. The FDA states that compounded drugs are not reviewed for safety, effectiveness, or quality before they are marketed. As of May 31, 2026, the agency logged 990 adverse event reports for compounded semaglutide and over 730 for compounded tirzepatide, and the American Diabetes Association (2026) advises against unapproved compounded GLP-1s.
Who should pick MEDVi
MEDVi fits people who specifically want compounded semaglutide (or the compounded tirzepatide in its checkout price list) from its partner pharmacies; FutureClinic has no compounded GLP-1 or formula of its own, and its doctors prescribe only FDA-approved GLP-1s. It also suits people who want the medicine priced into one recurring bill and shipped in the plan; FutureClinic sends prescriptions only to the pharmacy you choose and doesn't sell or bundle the medicine. And it suits people who want its care coaching team, led by certified medical assistants and registered dietitians. On FutureClinic, care is by message with no video visits, and a doctor replies in hours, not minutes: typically the same day.
A physician of your own for weight loss
Do you want a company's program with its compounded medicine bundled into one bill, or a doctor of your own and an FDA-approved medicine you can fill anywhere? If you want what MEDVi packages beyond the clinician, its plan is built for that. If you wanted one-to-one care from an expert physician, FutureClinic gives you that with nothing attached.
Every FutureClinic doctor is a state-licensed, background-checked, board-certified physician (MD, DO or MBBS), never a nurse practitioner or physician assistant. We have over 300 doctors on the platform. They span more than 60 specialties, generalists and specialists alike. No form is approved in bulk: a specific physician reads your history before deciding, which matters because the Wegovy and Zepbound labels carry a boxed warning on thyroid C-cell tumors and warn of acute pancreatitis. Your doctor sends a written plan and a Human Signature, a short video or voice note recorded live for you.
Your doctor earns nothing extra for any prescription or test. Prescriptions go to the pharmacy you choose, and FutureClinic helps with prior authorizations when insurance requires one. Since July 1, 2026, the Medicare GLP-1 Bridge has let eligible Part D enrollees pay $50 a month for Wegovy, Foundayo or Zepbound KwikPen.
You can message the same doctor over time to adjust doses, manage side effects, or switch medicines. That doctor can help with other problems in their specialty, and every FutureClinic doctor you see works from your one medical record. Most doctors also offer an optional membership, typically $25 to $100 a month, for unlimited care with them.
