What is MEDVi?

MEDVi, started in 2023, connects patients with medical weight loss solutions and is headquartered in San Diego, California. It partners with Belmar Pharma Solutions and Beluga Health to provide GLP-1 medications and telehealth care by licensed providers.

The company is LegitScript certified, meaning it’s regularly monitored, meets transparency standards and complies with all applicable state and federal laws.

How does MEDVi work?

To get weight loss drugs from MEDVi, you must sign up for a monthly membership:

  • Step 1: Complete an online evaluation that includes your health history, weight loss goals and contact information.
  • Step 2: Choose your medication and enter payment details. Prescriptions can be delivered to your home within 24 hours of approval, or you can request a telehealth appointment to speak with a provider first. Appointments are typically scheduled within two to three days, though same-day consultations may be available.
  • Step 3: After you check out, a board-certified physician will review and approve your prescription. You’ll receive shipping and tracking info within two business days, and receive your prescription within eight to nine days.
  • Step 4: At the end of each month, you’ll need to fill out a refill form and pay your next month’s membership to continue getting your medication.

With your membership, you get 24/7 messaging support and unlimited access to MEDVi’s patient care team for questions about your progress, side effects or dosage. You can cancel your membership at any time, but cannot receive refunds on prescription products.

MEDVi weight loss medications

MEDVi prescribes glucagon-like peptide-1 agonists (GLP-1s) and dual GLP-1/GIP receptor agonists drugs, available as an injection or tablet. These drugs trigger your pancreas to secrete more insulin, which slows digestion and makes you feel fuller. The company primarily prescribes compounded GLP-1s, but some branded drugs are available.

Weight loss medications available:

  • Compounded semaglutide, injection or tablet
  • Compounded tirzepatide, injection or tablet
  • Ozempic, injection only
  • Wegovy, injection only

Compounded medications are made with the same active ingredient as branded drugs, but they are not Food and Drug Administration-approved. MEDVi sources its compounded GLP-1 drugs from Belmar Pharma Solutions.

    Medvi was so easy to use. Prescribed Tirzepatide w B12 mixed in, for 2 months. Went from 158, down to 138. I'm (M) 5'8 and over 50. Weight came off daily. This stuff made me feel full immediately, so I ate less, and just didn't feel the need to overeat. It was interesting. My brain said, "Naw, we're not eating that stuff..." That, and I had the normal gut nausea feelings the first week. You deal w it. All side effects dissipated after 2 weeks. Be sure to drink TONS of water and lotsa fiber. You're eating way less, so you'll poop way less too the first month. Gotta stay hydrated and pushing things thru. Tirzep pretty much resets how you look at food and the amount that you consume. Its hard to overeat. Your brain says, "You've had enough now, stop!" I'll never go back to how I used to eat. Sugar? Nope, I stay away from it. Ultra high processed junk? Nope, won't do it.

    I eat clean now, and it really is from the medication. I'll never put junk in my body again. Eat whatever you like, but eat very little of it. Moderation. One bite only. The meds teach your body this. You gotta commit to the change in feeding yourself. Stop overeating and eating bad stuff. Stop snacking! The Tirzepatide takes over the rest. The shots every week were simple. Right on either side of the stomach. Didn't even feel it. Needles are short and tiny. Getting the scrip online from Medvi was ridiculously uncomplicated. A few clicks and done. Shows up in the mail in 3 days. Support team emails and texts were great. Getting started couldn't have been easier. 5 mins online. The Tirzepatide was more expensive, ($499 per mo.) but most reviews online said go w the Zep. Was the right choice for me. I saw real results. I now have the body I had at 25. I used my HSA account to pay for everything. Was worth it.

    I plan on doing a 1 month refresher every year (May) for health benefits. If you exercise while on Tirzep, I'd assume you'll lose more weight, faster. Remember tho, it's all about the quality of food going in. All in all, it was a win, and losing the weight was so simple it was a mindblower. Ana in CS was great and informative with the texts and emails. I'll do this again any day... 5 Starz, A++ (Don't think this is some bot or bogus review. NOPE. Real person here and real experience...)

      My weight has been a constantly increasing problem until I found Medvi. My cholesterol and blood pressure were too high. My A1C was still in the prediabetic range. All this after undergoing gastric sleeve surgery a few years ago. I plateaued in my weight loss and was gaining my weight back. I searched and researched online for tools to help me get back on the weight loss wagon. I first tried my doctor and she tried to get me approved for name brand Wegovy. My insurance said “Nope” not paying. In fact my insurance plan doesn’t even cover a nutritionist to help someone who was at 260 pounds and 5 ft 2 in lose weight to improve their comorbidities. Weight loss surgery was an investment at cash price. Such a huge investment in me and I couldn’t get past the plateau without help.

      I felt beaten down trying to find a solution. I searched the internet for options and read so many reviews on weight loss programs and companies. Medvi was not my first choice but is my last. The first two programs I tried turned me down for one reason or another and their pricing was just too steep. Medvi accepted me into the program for semaglutide and I got on board with the program approximately 31 pounds ago. I have steadily lost 5 to 6 pounds a month. I will not say everything has been roses. I have had some pretty uncomfortable side effects.. constipation being the worst. I did my research and found solutions to help combat that.

      Now I am 31 pounds down since starting the Medvi journey and a size 12/14 for the first time in over 15 years. Family and friends have noticed and comment on my more youthful appearance and tease me about needing to go shopping. My confidence is restored and I will continue with Medvi and compounded semaglutide as long as is necessary to reach my goal weight. I am excited to see my next round of lab results and if my A1C, cholesterol and glucose numbers are improving. If you are on the fence.. I recommend Medvi.

      I am on my 5th dose of compound ** and here's my experience. At first understanding how their billing cycle works was a little confusing as they start their billing cycle from the first day of sign up not when you receive your meds so definitely talk with them on when the next billing date will be and if it takes some time from when you sign up versus your first injection. Typically fill out a form, then schedule a time to meet with a provider. If approved the provider will submit a rx and supply order and if need a nausea med order as well which is all included in the price. Then the pharmacy gets it and within 5 days you receive your medication via FedEx or Ups. You'll get tracking but I didn't have to sign for it.

      After my 4th dose I got another appt to check in on how I'm doing and also labs were sent to quest and that's included in the price. You can also have a health coach appt if you want but it's not mandatory, free as well. Introductory cost was 279.00 and after that it's 399.50 each month or you can choose a multi month plan for cheaper rate. Also I was reached out to by a wonderful patient experience team member who has been there for me every step of the way and my basic lifeline if I didn't know what to do next, etc. They use legitimate providers and pharmacies as I work for a pharmacy as well but they just don't dispense these meds. I gave this review 4 stars as the site could be better and more user friendly.

      I started compounded semaglutide injections almost 3 months ago. I am 4'11 and was 134 pounds. To me this is a very excellent, responsible company! I see reviews on here saying people got charged more than stated on their site, or got meds late or didn't lose weight. This how the process works for real. The website sign up very specifically states the introductory first month cost (which is a reduced cost). The following months are at an increased cost which remains the same even if your dosage increases or decreases. I do the injections of compounded semaglutide because they are the cheapest and the needles are so small and honestly do not hurt. I was all ready for this big pain and honestly, I felt nothing and thought the needle didn't go in or fell off of which neither was true. For the first month and a half I was feeling pretty nauseous and bloated as my body adjusted to the medication.

      Physically, I was pretty much not feeling hungry, but ate a few small snacks a day of like yogurt, a banana, a breakfast bar or protein shakes. Before each new 4 week refill, you must have a video visit with a doctor who discusses your progress and any changes to medical history since last meeting. They then decide if you qualify for the next 4 week prescription and any dosage change. Please note that you are sent a refill request form after each 3rd week injection. You must complete it in order to get scheduled with a doctor or you will NOT receive a refill on the medication. If I completed my 3rd injection and did not receive the form, I emailed or called customer service to request it. You also receive a care coaching session with each refill to discuss tips to help with any challenges you may be experiencing and tips to enhance your weight loss and health. I was sent for blood work at no cost for them to monitor different aspects of my state of health.

      Their customer service members are so courteous, helpful, quick to respond and are extremely flexible with appointment times. Those who are dissatisfied with the program either are a rare incident or did not keep up with their end of the responsibilities. By the way, in 3 months I have gone from 134 pounds to 121 pounds and am extremely happy with the progress. I have not added exercise, but I highly recommend it to maximize weight loss and minimize sagging skin. Drink lots of water and get enough protein. Good luck and I have complete confidence in this company.

      I really don’t understand these comments because my experience has been very easy and positive. In fact they have so much customer support that it almost seems like too much. I started via Instagram. I had no idea what I was getting into but decided to try it for 25 lb weight loss. I was quickly reached out to and started on the compounded version of Tirzepitide which came from a pharmacy in TX to my home in FL. Zero issues. The mg’s are slightly different than the one directly from Lilly because it must be different than the actually pharmaceutical co. but the price is lower and more affordable. I started on 2.2 mg’s and now going to 4.7 (Lilly would have been 2.5 and 5 respectively). It has been working fine for me with no issues. In fact, I can get my next dosage at 4.7 mg’s and split them actually making it more affordable to be able to spread it out. I’ve done well on 2.2 but asked for the next level just to see if I notice anything different.

      I’ve lost 6 lbs in 2 weeks and feel great. No issues. I’m not morbidly obese and only need to take about 25 lbs off that I gained after menopause but the weight affects my blood pressure so I must try to get it off and keep it off. I’ve had no issues with delivery, no issues with communication and no issues with anything. If you don’t have insurance and need this med, this is the perfect way to do it. It’s affordable even though it still costs money but far less than going through Lilly, the manufacturer of Tirzepitide (Zepbound). Once their patent expired this will be much more affordable to go direct but for now, compounding is perfectly fine. I see no issues and would highly recommend MEDVi.

      If I could give it zero stars I would. 149$ first dose then 299$ a month after that. There's nowhere that they explain this. Even if you haven't received your meds and they have not shipped yet and you try to cancel before they ship and get a refund they will not refund your money. I'm out 149$ and have medication I can't use now. Absolutely a scam!

      I previously submitted a review that has since disappeared. I placed an order with MEDVi and provided explicit delivery instructions due to residing in a multi-family home. However, the package was delivered to the incorrect door. UPS provided a delivery confirmation image stating it was delivered as instructed. Following a dispute with MEDVi, they claimed to have sent a replacement. I received a UPS notification with a new delivery date, prompting me to stay home and await delivery. Shortly thereafter, I received another UPS notification rescheduling delivery until they received the package from MEDVi. The next day, I contacted UPS and was informed that MEDVi had only created a shipping label, and I would be notified once they received the package. After multiple attempts to contact MEDVi, I proceeded with my Christmas shopping.

      Later that day, I received an email stating that my package had been delivered to my door. Relieved, I completed my shopping and returned home, only to find no package at my door. Upon reviewing the email, I noticed the delivery image was clearly not of my door. I contacted UPS, who advised me to contact the sender. I then reached out to Medvi, who implied that I resided in a single-family home and that delivery had been made. I provided images of my door versus the delivery door, as well as proof of my multi-family residence. I contacted my landlord and attempted to reach out to my neighbors. MEDVi became increasingly uncooperative and ceased responding to my inquiries. I requested their assistance in holding UPS accountable, but they refused to respond. As a result, I have lost both my money and the product through no fault of my own. MEDVi advertised door delivery.

      I’ve had a great experience with MEDVi. I wanted to try a GPL-1 for a long time but definitely couldn’t afford it until these options are available from a compounding pharmacy. The process was very easy and so nice that I didn’t have to schedule an appointment in a doctor’s office just to get this med. Everyone that I have been in contact has been extremely kind and helpful! Answering any questions that I had. I was amazed at how convenient and quickly I received my meds.

      I do wish that they would consider letting patients pay monthly and get the discounted price that a bundle gives you. But other than that, I have no complaints. In fact, I have been so happy with my results. I have been on the plan for 2 1/2 months and have lost 13 lbs. a slow loss, but that is what is recommended. The main thing is I have lost more than I’ve been able to lose in 20 years. No food noise has been the game changer for me. It has caused some nausea but other than that, it’s been fine. I love it! I’m glad I went this route for getting this medication and I’m really glad I went with Medvi!
