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 cost

Membership costs start with a discounted introductory rate and then increase for the subsequent months. All services and products from MEDVi must be paid out of pocket and the company does not bill insurance. Your total cost depends on the type of medication you choose and how it’s administered (injection or tablet).

  • Compounded semaglutide injections: Start at $179 for the first month and go up to $299 for the following months.
  • Compounded semaglutide tablets: Start at $249 for the first month and go up to $369 for the following months.
  • Compounded tirzepatide injections and tablets: Start at $279 for the first month and go up to $399 for the following months.
  • Ozempic or Wegovy: Start at $1,999/month, but you may be able to submit a claim for reimbursement with your insurance provider.

 Your monthly membership includes:

  • Physician review
  • A four-week supply of medication
  • Expedited shipping to your home
  • One-on-one counseling
  • Metabolic report

The first is a 30-day guarantee if you aren’t initially satisfied with the service, and the second offers a full refund if you don’t lose at least 20% of your body weight after following MEDVi’s weight loss program as directed for four months.

    I have tried to lose weight so many times since I had my last child. Some things have worked, others have not. All were not very successful. I asked my doctor to prescribe Tirzepatide but because my BMI was ever so slightly below what they required for insurance coverage she denied it. A friend recommended MedVi so I decided to try it. A simple questionnaire showed that I qualified for the program. An appointment was made with a provider who called me right on time. She told me all about the program and the medication. I opted for the sublingual tablets initially, I wanted to see how I did with the medication. The medication arrived a few days later and I started the next day. In three weeks I lost 4 pounds. I have now switched to the injectable medication and took the first dose yesterday. I’m down another pound today.

    I received a check in call today just to see how I was doing. Everyone seems to be very helpful and have been able to answer my questions quickly. I would rather be able to get the medication through my insurance but this is a good and affordable option. I did have to get bloodwork done but I received everything I needed to get it done, the program paid for it and I received my results promptly. They recommend that we share the results with our regular doctor. I have no complaints or concerns about this program. Thank you MedVi!

      MEDVI has been absolutely AMAZING!! I don’t think I have ever written a review for anything - ever. My story is this: spent my entire life being very thin (thankful for that). Started menopause and gained 50 pounds - for no apparent reason. Walked 3-5 miles almost daily, lived on fruits and vegetables - after two years of this, I didn’t even lose a single ounce. I couldn’t believe it! At my last medical checkup, my cholesterol suddenly went from normal, to the danger zone. My doctor wanted me to immediately start meds. I insisted he give me a few months to get my cholesterol down on my own. Bit the bullet and decided to spend the money on myself. Started on Tirzepatide on May 23rd. Today is July 1st - I’ve lost 18 1/2 pounds doing virtually nothing other than taking my weekly injection.

      Additionally, I had my bloodwork done last week. Between losing the weight, as well as taking Berberine - a natural supplement which assists in reducing cholesterol, I am now in the normal range. Not only has the weight fallen off, but everyone at MEDVI has been extremely helpful and the entire process has been quite easy. Customer Service is WONDERFUL!! I have a monthly check-in (via phone call) asking me how everything is going and anytime I email with a question, I receive an immediate response. Additionally, I have had virtually no side effects to the medication. This has been one of the best decisions I have ever made - this company is terrific and I would highly recommend!!!

      I've tried it all. Juice cleanses, bootcamp workouts, carb counting apps you name it. The only thing I lost was my patience. I found Medvi after a friend casually mentioned it during a walk. I figured why not give it a shot. The first few weeks were uneventful which honestly felt like a good sign. No pressure. No crash. Just easy check-ins and clear guidance. Somewhere around week seven I realized my plate looked different. Not because I forced myself, but because I was full with less. It was such a strange and welcome change. Even better, I stopped obsessing about food. It felt like food and I were finally on speaking terms. Support from MEDVi was on point every time I had a question. No bots or copy-paste replies. Real people, real answers. I already texted two friends and told them to check it out.

      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.

      Well I am not sure what to say about these reviews but MINE is a good one, as I saw the ad, filled out the information. Was notified of a teledoc interview, it came up, spoke with Dr. Vanessa O. and she approved it. Said I would get Rx in a few days, downloaded the Medvi app, and watched the process. Got my meds today, took my shot and all seems to be well. Gotten many informative emails with lots of information and contact info. I am so sorry others have had a bad experience, but, KNOCK ON WOOD, mine has been ok and no big deal. I just hope the ** works and I can drop my A1c and some lbs and get back to my old self after a very bad car accident and gained so much weight. Note I am diabetic and considered obese overweight. Best wishes to all....

      I ordered the product of FB. Never received my order but sure as hell got charged right away. There was even a fiasco about being charged twice. I have been

      fighting with them since May 25th. I would never recommend them to anyone. Tammy.

      Very misleading. They don’t tell you everything they’ll need and require you to do. Then once you pay they call you and tell you to get blood work within a time frame or you won’t get more meds, they conveniently don't mention that before payment. Then when you say you’d rather cancel than be stuck getting blood work by a deadline, they take forever to get you support to cancel. They also don’t need the blood work before you start the meds, they want it by three months. So you could’ve been on the meds, and failed to have time for blood work, then they lock you off after collecting 3 months of expensive payments. They seem very manipulative.

      I started my injections back in May. I have lost 20 lbs in that period of time. I’m most impressed with the professionalism and prompt responses. My cholesterol and blood pressure have normalized. I’ll continue with the program until I lose another 20 lbs. I recommend their services without reservations. Anyone who has been having trouble losing weight, this is the ideal way to do it.

      I have been impressed by the company itself. They are thorough and have lots of resources available. They don't just issue the medication and leave you behind.

      The medication I am on is working wonders. It is very expensive, but seems to be in range with all the other companies... I know people aren't happy it's not covered under insurance but that's what it is.
