Zealthy tirzepatide review
Low-cost entry with insurance routing. How they handle your dose ladder, what support looks like when side effects hit, and what you actually pay — $216 a month.

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.
Zealthy sits in the useful middle: about $216 a month for compounded tirzepatide with no membership stacked behind it, so the quote you get is the charge you see.
The first month is $39, and unlike most introductory rates this one is not hiding a fee that arrives later. From month two you pay roughly $216 and that is the entire charge.
How the dose ladder is handled
Conventional dose escalation. Zealthy is a broad telehealth platform rather than a dedicated weight clinic, so the weight programme gets solid infrastructure but less specialist focus than Mochi gives it.
| Tirzepatide doses | Step up roughly every |
|---|---|
| 2.5 mg → 5 mg → 7.5 mg → 10 mg → 12.5 mg → 15 mg | 4 weeks |
| Price changes as you climb? | Check before you start |
The full schedule, and what to do if a rung goes badly, is in the dose ladder explained.
Support when it gets hard
Competent and unremarkable. Insurance routing is available where coverage exists. The widely quoted $25 a month figure is an insured price for branded medication and has nothing to do with the compounded product a cash payer buys.
Broad telehealth platform with a weight programme that offers both compounded medication and insurance-billed branded prescriptions.
What it costs
About $2,592 a year, second cheapest in our table.

What we verified
- First month advertised at $39.
- Compounded semaglutide priced from about $151/month.
- Compounded tirzepatide priced from about $216/month.
- Where insurance covers branded semaglutide, patient cost can fall to roughly $25/month.
Checked 2026-09-18. Prices here move often, so treat anything older than a month as a starting point.
Strengths
- Compounded pricing is competitive without a separate membership charge.
- Will pursue insurance coverage rather than defaulting to cash pay.
- Low-friction $39 first month.
Drawbacks
- The $25/month figure depends entirely on insurance approval and is not a cash price.
- Support is spread across a wide range of unrelated conditions.
Worth knowing. The widely quoted $25/month is an insured price. Cash payers should plan on $151+ for semaglutide.
How it scored
Zealthy scores 3.5 out of 5, placing it 9 of 19 for tirzepatide. The weights are published on how we rate and fixed before we assess anyone.
| What we weigh | Weight | Score |
|---|---|---|
| True monthly cost | 30% | 3.8 / 5 |
| Price honesty | 20% | 3.5 / 5 |
| Clinical support | 20% | 3.4 / 5 |
| Pharmacy sourcing | 15% | 3.5 / 5 |
| Cancelling | 15% | 3.3 / 5 |
Our verdict
A fair, honest, middle-of-the-road choice. It loses narrowly on price to the flat-rate leader and on clinical depth to Mochi, but it will not surprise you in month two.
