Ivím Health vs MEDVi
$199/mo against $399/mo for tirzepatide. Which is worth it, and for whom.
Updated 2026-09-18
How we are paid: one company on this page — Coreage Rx — pays us a commission if you sign up through our link. It does not buy a better score, a higher position, or the removal of a single criticism. Our rating method and full disclosure are both public.
Both sell tirzepatide. Ivím Health costs $199 a month and MEDVi costs $399, a difference of $200 a month or about $2,400 a year. The other differences matter more than the money if this is your first course.
Ivím Health is unlimited clinician access. MEDVi is tablet and injection choice. They are not aimed at the same person, and the cheaper one is not automatically the right answer — particularly if this is your first course and you expect a slow titration.
What this means for your titration. Both price the same way as your dose climbs, so the gap between them stays constant the whole way up the ladder.

- Ask both which pharmacy compounds the medication and whether it is a 503A or 503B facility. Neither publishes it.
The verdict
