PreventiveMD review
"As low as $83 a month, all-in" is what it says, and I could not check it, because the pricing table on the page just says Loading pricing and never loads. So I went and read the code behind it. It takes every plan, divides the total by how many months it covers, and shows whichever comes out smallest — and their price list says the twelve-month supply is $999. Pay monthly and it is $119. Which, and I want to be fair here, is still cheaper than nearly everything else I have looked at.

How I scored PreventiveMD
Every factor here comes from PreventiveMD's own pricing, its disclosures and the signup I walked, and the six add up to the 50/100 Mom-Tested Score on the same weighted six-factor method I use on every provider — never nudged by whether a provider pays us.
Scores low: pinning down the real ongoing number takes work.
Scores low: whether it reaches you is the open question.
Scores low on choice — the medication menu is narrower here.
Exit terms are the weak point: lock-in, notice periods, or a cancellation you have to chase.
Scores low here: getting started asks more of your week than most.
Support is the weakest part of this provider's score.
How I verified this review

- August 2026
- Confidence
- high
- Primary source
- preventivemd.com/protocols/semaglutide
I checked this on 18 August 2026, including the price data the site publishes for itself. Paying monthly, compounded semaglutide is $119 and tirzepatide $139 — cheaper than most of what is on this site, and that is the first thing worth saying. The advertised number is a different thing. Every page headlines "as low as $83/mo, all-in", and that is the $999 twelve-month supply divided by twelve. I know because the code that prints it takes every plan, divides the total by its month count, and shows the smallest result. That same figure is also in the page's hidden data, labeled as a monthly price, which is what search engines pick up. None of this can be checked on the page itself, because the pricing table is a script that just reads "Loading pricing…" if you have not got JavaScript running. Four things that are not GLP-1s are priced in identical wording nearby. The brand-name tiers are a $49 membership with the drug billed separately by the manufacturer's pharmacy. Both the company and its medical group came back clean on the FDA's warning-letter list.
What to expect when you sign up
I walked PreventiveMD's public signup funnel (August 2026) — a first-hand look at the flow. I don't create accounts, enter medical info, or check out, so this is what any visitor sees, not a patient outcome.
- 1The signup call to action stays on preventivemd.com (https://www.preventivemd.com/#process)
- 2The intake responded HTTP 200 when checked on 2026-08-21
- 3Walked to the intake entry only. No personal information was submitted, so nothing past the entry screen is asserted here
What I noticed
- The intake runs on Healthie rather than on the provider's own software
- No monthly price is visible on the public homepage; the number appears only after you begin the intake
Pricing
Prices re-verified
| Medication | Monthly | Plan |
|---|---|---|
| Compounded semaglutide | $119 | Injection, one-month supplyThe month-to-month price from the seller's own pricing API. ⛔ The page advertises "As low as $83/mo, all-in", which is the $999 twelve-month supply divided by twelve. |
| Compounded tirzepatide | $139 | Injection, one-month supplyMonth to month. The advertised "$97/mo" is the $1,168 twelve-month supply divided by twelve. |
| Compounded semaglutide | $83 | Injection, 12-month supply$999 paid up front. This is the figure the site headlines and the figure it publishes in its Offer markup as a monthly price. |
| Brand tirzepatide | $49 | Zepbound — membership fee only"$49/mo membership fee + medication starts at $299/mo". ⚠ The $49 is all the seller charges; the medication is billed separately by LillyDirect, and the $299 comes from a fallback in the site's code rather than its price API. |
HSA and FSA usually work for this — worth checking your own plan. The prices here are what PreventiveMD's public disclosures showed at last review, and they change often; confirm the current number on PreventiveMD's own site.
What I like
- $119 a month, paying monthly, is cheaper than almost anything else here
- Their prices are published as actual data, so I could check every plan instead of guessing
- The medical group behind it is named in the terms
- For the brand-name options it says clearly that the $49 is a membership and the drug is billed by the manufacturer
- No labs needed before you start, and the FAQ says so outright
The caveats
- ⛔ The "$83 a month" is a $999 year, divided by twelve. Monthly is $119
- ⛔ That same figure is in the page's hidden data as a monthly price, which is what Google reads
- The pricing table never loads without JavaScript — it just says Loading pricing
- Four things that are not GLP-1s are priced in exactly the same words on the same page
- The brand-name drug prices come from a leftover value in the code, not their real price list
- No list of states
What I actually think of PreventiveMD
"As low as $83 a month, all-in" is what it says, and I could not check it, because the pricing table on the page just says Loading pricing and never loads. So I went and read the code behind it. It takes every plan, divides the total by how many months it covers, and shows whichever comes out smallest — and their price list says the twelve-month supply is $999. Pay monthly and it is $119. Which, and I want to be fair here, is still cheaper than nearly everything else I have looked at. It runs about $119/month — toward the cheaper end of what I walked.
I look at PreventiveMD 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 PreventiveMD really costs
- Compounded semaglutide — Injection, one-month supply: $119/mo
- Compounded tirzepatide — Injection, one-month supply: $139/mo
- Compounded semaglutide — Injection, 12-month supply: $83/mo
- Brand-name tirzepatide — Zepbound — membership fee only: $49/mo
That's under the roughly $179 median I found across the providers I walked — real money back in the grocery budget.
Which meds PreventiveMD prescribes
PreventiveMD prescribes semaglutide and tirzepatide — the two with the strongest published weight-loss numbers, and having both on one account genuinely matters if insulin resistance is in the mix (which it often is with PCOS or after gestational diabetes), because that's when tirzepatide tends to be the better fit. 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.
Who PreventiveMD is — and isn't — for
A good fit if…
- money is the actual barrier and you want a low, predictable number you can plan around.
- you might need to move between semaglutide and tirzepatide as your body and hormones shift.
Look elsewhere if…
- you'd rather a prescriber actually talk through nursing and pregnancy timing with you — that's what my #1 pick, CoreAge Rx, is built to do.
Can you trust it?
I'm confident in the public facts on PreventiveMD — pricing, pharmacies, and the clinical network all checked out when I last looked. 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.
One line that's true of every provider on this site: no GLP-1 is established as safe in pregnancy or while breastfeeding, and the labels say don't. This is me reviewing a commercial signup, not giving you a green light — the timing call is yours and your clinician's.
So, would I use it?
PreventiveMD is a genuine budget play — weigh it against the picks below on nursing and pregnancy timing and canceling without a fight. For most moms, CoreAge Rx is still the stronger all-round fit — and you can see them side by side in this head-to-head.
The bottom line for moms
Best for: A mom who wants the lowest real monthly price she can get, and does not mind that the advertised one is not it.
If PreventiveMD isn't the one
Providers I have a referral relationship with, ordered by Mom-Tested Score — highest first. A fee never moves a score, but it does decide who shows up in this box, so it isn't everyone: my full ranking has every provider, paid or not.
- Visit CoreAge RxMom-Tested Score94/100ACoreAge RxMy #1 pick
The one I'd point a friend to first: I finished the intake in a single nap, the price on screen was the price I'd actually pay, and both semaglutide and tirzepatide were right there on one account.
- Visit Pallas HealthMom-Tested Score86/100B+
Pallas is one of the few places that will sell you either the cheap compounded route or the real brand-name pen without making you pick a provider first — compounded semaglutide works out to about $199 a month and tirzepatide about $299, while actual Zepbound, Ozempic, Wegovy and Mounjaro sit alongside them at cash-pay prices from $1,069. The price genuinely doesn't climb as you titrate, Pallas says so plainly on its own site, and the clinician, dose adjustments, check-ins and messaging are all inside that one number with no membership fee stacked on top. Two clinicians are named and both check out in the federal NPI registry, the LegitScript badge it displays is a real one, and it publishes an actual refund policy — full refund if a clinician turns you down, and a $5 processing fee if you cancel a qualifying payment — which is more paperwork than most of this market bothers with. The two things to know before you commit: it bills every 12 weeks in $597 and $897 chunks rather than monthly, and it never names its compounding pharmacy.
- Visit Trimi HealthMom-Tested Score85/100B
The price-first pick: some of the lowest flat, all-inclusive pricing I found, in all 50 states — great if the monthly number is your whole decision and you read the annual-prepay fine print before you sign.

Head-to-head & alternatives
PreventiveMD, answered
- How much does PreventiveMD cost?
- As I last checked, PreventiveMD's pricing starts around $119/month ($119/mo month to month semaglutide, $139/mo month to month tirzepatide). Confirm the current, all-in number on PreventiveMD's own site before you commit — these move.
- Is PreventiveMD okay to use while I'm breastfeeding?
- No — and that's true of every GLP-1, compounded or brand: none is established as safe in pregnancy or breastfeeding, and the labels say don't. PreventiveMD is no exception. Plan any GLP-1 for after weaning and talk the timing through with your own clinician. I'm a mom, not a doctor.
- Does PreventiveMD have both semaglutide and tirzepatide?
- Yes — PreventiveMD offers both. Tirzepatide's dual GIP/GLP-1 action is often the one clinicians reach for when insulin resistance drives weight, which matters if you've got PCOS or a history of gestational diabetes.
- Where does PreventiveMD land on your list?
- PreventiveMD scores 50/100 on the Mom-Tested Score (ranked #245), which weights the six things that actually matter when you're doing this around kids. My #1 pick, CoreAge Rx, leads the list — worth seeing how they stack up.
Pricing, states and verification reflect PreventiveMD's public disclosures at last review; the Mom-Tested Score is one mom's editorial judgment per the published method. This is background reading, not medical advice — GLP-1 medications are not established as safe in pregnancy or breastfeeding. See my medical disclaimer and how I'm funded.
