Ivim - Weight loss

Our Verdict

Ivim is an easy and cost-effective way to access brand-name GLP-1 injections like Wegovy and Zepbound. It also provides personalized compounded semaglutide, liraglutide, and tripeptide. However, the compounded medications aren’t included in the membership cost, making it slightly pricier than some competitors.

The overall quality of Ivim’s service is good. You have round-the-clock access to support and one-on-one consultations with a healthcare provider who personalizes your program and adjusts your dosage as needed. You also get nutritional guidance and access to a forum where you can connect with others taking similar medications. Ivim also accepts FSA and HSA payments.

It’s a good option for people who want quick access to weight loss medication while sitting at home. Having the option of both branded and the more affordable compounded versions is a big plus.

Medication Price: The medication charges depend on whether you’re prescribed a brand-name GLP-1 injection or go for the compound version. The latter is up to 85% cheaper than the brand name.
