Fella Reviews

Fella Health, based in San Francisco, California, is a virtual prescription drug platform that caters specifically to men. The company’s weight loss plans are designed for men over the age of 18 with a body mass index (BMI) of 27 or higher, and come with either compounded semaglutide or compounded tirzepatide.

With a monthly membership, patients receive their medication and personalized health coaching from a licensed clinician. Getting weight loss medication with Fella is done entirely online using the following steps:

• Step 1: Take a short online quiz about your weight loss goals to see if you qualify.
• Step 2: If you do qualify, you’ll choose your medication, submit payment and create an account.
• Step 3: Schedule lab work at a local testing facility or request an at-home testing kit. You can also submit labs that’ve been done within the last 24 months.
• Step 4: A licensed provider reviews your answers and either approves or rejects your prescription. Most patients won’t need a video consultation, but you can request one if you like.

Membership includes medication, lab work, shipping, personalized health coaching and unlimited messaging with the Fella support team. You can cancel your membership at any time. However, any fee that’s already been paid cannot be refunded except under the terms of the six-month weight loss guarantee.

Fella Health offers medication-assisted weight loss plans and prescribes GLP-1 agonists. Available weight loss medications include:

• Compounded semaglutide (the same active ingredient as Ozempic and Wegovy)
• Compounded tirzepatide (the same active ingredient as Mounjaro and Zepbound)
• Metformin

GLP-1s work by triggering insulin production in your pancreas which lowers blood sugar levels, increases satiety and slows digestion. Two of the most popular GLP-1 medications are semaglutide and tirzepatide, a dual GLP-1/GIP receptor agonist. Tirzepatide works in the same way as semaglutide but also triggers your gastric inhibitory polypeptide (GIP) receptors, which contribute to lower blood sugar levels and decreased appetite.

Compounded drugs are not approved by the FDA and there’s currently no option at Fella for branded GLP-1s.

Membership costs vary based on the type of drug you’re prescribed and how often you’re billed:
