Graded #247 · C
FDAWarning letter issued to Lean Rx, Inc. dba SkinnyRx in February 2026. See the FDA warning-letter database.
Strengths
- Both molecules by both routes: semaglutide and tirzepatide as injections, tirzepatide as a tablet on the identical term ladder, plus a separate low-dose line with its own page
- The full term ladder — every rung, both molecules — is on the product page before any medical intake, which is more than most of this board discloses after one
- Terms are concrete rather than gestural: free shipping, unlimited provider messaging, a 90-day money-back guarantee, and no charge at all if a clinician finds you ineligible
- The state exclusions are published rather than discovered at checkout — 47 states plus DC, with Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi named
Where it loses points
- FDA issued Lean Rx, Inc. dba SkinnyRx a warning letter in February 2026; the letter is public in FDA's warning-letter database
- The advertised "$199/mo" and "$299/mo" are twelve-month rates by construction — the site's own price code drops the one-month rung before picking a headline — so the monthly rates are $349 semaglutide and $399 tirzepatide
- Those rungs are a single up-front charge, not a smaller bill: $2,388 for the semaglutide year and $3,588 for the tirzepatide year, taken on day one and auto-renewing each term, with membership fees stated as non-refundable
- The microdose line costs the SAME as full dose at every term the two share, and its floor is HIGHER — $229 against $199 on semaglutide, $319 against $299 on tirzepatide — because the low-dose plans stop at eight months rather than twelve
- No brand-name product is actually purchasable: Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro and Zepbound all carry a null price, both pill products are out of stock, and the only priced brand path is a $49/mo membership plus a medication cost that is never published
- Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide are not FDA-approved and are not generic equivalents of the brand drugs
- Fulfillment is disclosed only as a category: "503A pharmacies", never a facility, never a city, and no medical director is named for the programme anywhere on the site — so the two things that decide whether a compounded vial is trustworthy are the two things this seller does not publish
- Labs and monitoring are simply absent from the site: nothing states whether baseline or follow-up bloodwork is required, included in the membership, or billed on top of it
- Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi are excluded, so three states' readers cannot buy at any price on this ladder
