Fridays review

What I actually think of Fridays

I kept reading $117 and $150 and thinking that seemed impossibly cheap, and then I found the four words sitting under every one of them: "Paid annually, delivered monthly." That's a year, up front. If you want to pay as you go — which is what I'd want with a medication I might not tolerate — it's $249 for compounded semaglutide and $359 for tirzepatide, and Fridays does print both, which I appreciated. What stopped me was the "96.8% success rate" next to the before-and-after photos. Go read that footnote. It's measuring whether packages arrive. It runs about $249/month — pricier than most, so the extras have to earn it.

I look at Fridays the way moms actually have to — not just the real monthly number, but nursing and pregnancy timing and canceling without a fight. That's the stuff a generic weight-loss review skips right over.

What Fridays really costs

• Compounded semaglutide — Month to month: $249/mo
• Compounded semaglutide — Prepaid annual plan: $150/mo
• Compounded tirzepatide — Month to month: $359/mo
• Compounded tirzepatide — Prepaid annual plan: $240/mo
• Brand-name semaglutide — Ozempic, month to month: $1498/mo
• Brand-name tirzepatide — Zepbound, month to month: $1828/mo

For context, the typical ongoing price across my shortlist is around $179/month, so Fridays sits at the pricey end.

Which meds Fridays prescribes

Fridays prescribes semaglutide and tirzepatide. They work differently; a clinician should assess the indication, medical history, contraindications and practical access before choosing between them. It can also route you to FDA-approved brand pens, not just compounded — and the on-label products come with the manufacturer's own pregnancy and lactation labeling, which is a lot cleaner to hand to your OB.

There's a needle-free option here too, and it's worth asking exactly which kind before you choose it. An FDA-approved GLP-1 tablet is a studied medicine with its own label; a compounded under-the-tongue version is a different thing, far less studied than the shots the trials actually used. They get advertised in almost identical language.

Who Fridays is — and isn't — for

A good fit if…

• you might need to move between semaglutide and tirzepatide as your body and hormones shift.

Look elsewhere if…

• you want to compare another option before deciding — review the published terms and support offered by CoreAge Rx, our featured partner, alongside this provider.

Can you trust it?

My confidence is middling — the core facts hold up, but some details (per-state availability, how the program really runs) aren't fully public. With any compounded GLP-1, the most useful thing you can do is confirm which licensed pharmacy fills it and what's actually in the formulation — I explain how I weigh oversight in the scoring method.

Pregnancy plans and breastfeeding need a product-specific discussion with your prescriber. Lactation guidance differs by medicine and formulation; limited milk-transfer studies do not establish long-term safety for every infant. See the breastfeeding evidence guide and plan the timing with your own clinician.

So, would I use it?

Fridays is a reasonable option — weigh it against the picks below on nursing and pregnancy timing and canceling without a fight. If you want a second option, CoreAge Rx is our featured partner — you can see them side by side in this head-to-head.
