What are MEDVi’s cancellation and refund terms?
You can cancel any time. But MEDVi needs your request at least 72 hours before your next billing date. Otherwise, you’re charged for that cycle. Refunds come in full only if a provider medically disqualifies you, or if you cancel within 72 hours and haven’t received anything. That’s what its cancellation and refund policy says.
- Cancel any time, but your request must arrive at least 72 hours before your next billing date, or you’re charged for that cycle
- Refunds: in full if a provider medically disqualifies you, or if you cancel within 72 hours and haven’t received anything; otherwise, none on cancellation
- Prescriptions come from OpenLoop Health clinicians, after an online consultation
- Its listed partner pharmacies include Triad Rx (Alabama), RedRock Pharmacy (Utah) and Beaker Pharmacy & Compounding (Texas)
NexLife, for comparison: plans renew until you cancel by email, with 30 days’ notice from the day we receive it. You aren’t charged for medication if a provider decides treatment isn’t right for you. Our partner pharmacies are Absolute Pharmacy (Lutz, FL) and Boudreaux’s New Drug Store (Lake Charles, LA).

Step by step
How do you check MEDVi before you sign up?
Six checks, in order, from MEDVi’s own pages (checked November 1, 2026), because they show more than one price for the same medicine.
- Find both prices on its page. MEDVi’s tirzepatide page lists $166 a month on its product card, but its FAQ and price-lock terms say $199. Ask which one you’ll be billed.
- Price month two, not month one. On its GLP-1 page, semaglutide was $99 for the first month, then $199 a month for refills (November 1, 2026).
- Ask whether it’s compounded. Its tirzepatide page doesn’t say outright, but it says its medications aren’t FDA-approved. Brand-name Zepbound is listed separately: a $99 membership plus the medication.
- Know who prescribes and fills it. Prescriptions come from OpenLoop Health clinicians after an online consultation. Its listed partner pharmacies include Triad Rx (Alabama), RedRock Pharmacy (Utah) and Beaker Pharmacy & Compounding (Texas).
- Mark the cancel deadline. Cancel at least 72 hours before your next billing date, or you’re charged for that cycle. Refunds are full only if a provider medically disqualifies you, or if you cancel within 72 hours and haven’t received anything.
- Compare a full year. At the prices on MEDVi’s GLP-1 page, a first year of compounded semaglutide is $2,288. At NexLife, it’s $1,428 on the 12-month plan or $1,668 month to month.
Six checks before you pay MEDVi: both listed prices, month two, the product, the prescriber and pharmacy, the cancel deadline and a full year.

Switching
How do you switch from MEDVi to NexLife?
Three steps. Have a recent MEDVi receipt and a photo of your vial’s label ready.
| Step | What to do |
|---|---|
| 1. Gather two things | A MEDVi receipt from the last 60 days, and a photo of your vial’s label showing the medicine, your dose in milligrams and its strength. |
| 2. Start online and send them | Answer about 3 minutes of health questions. A NexLife provider reviews your prescription and, when it’s right for you, continues your dose. If your regular monthly price at MEDVi is lower than ours, we match it.† |
| 3. Cancel MEDVi in time | Once a NexLife provider has approved your plan, cancel MEDVi at least 72 hours before its next billing date, or you’re charged for that cycle. |
Here’s how switching
In their words
What does the FDA say about programs like MEDVi?
Three FDA lines behind the checks above: what not FDA-approved means, who oversees a compounding pharmacy, and measuring a dose from a new vial.
MEDVi’s tirzepatide page says its medications aren’t FDA-approved but doesn’t call the injection compounded; for compounded drugs, the FDA explains what that means.
“Compounded drugs are not FDA-approved. This means that FDA does not verify the safety, effectiveness or quality of compounded drugs before they are marketed.”
U.S. Food and Drug Administration, Compounding and the FDA: Questions and Answers
MEDVi names partner pharmacies in Alabama, Utah and Texas; to check one, the FDA explains which regulator to start with.
“Generally, state boards of pharmacy have primary responsibility for the day-to-day oversight of state-licensed pharmacies that are not registered with FDA as outsourcing facilities.”
U.S. Food and Drug Administration, Compounding and the FDA: Questions and Answers
After a switch, your new vial may come in a different strength than your MEDVi vial, so the FDA’s advice on measuring applies.
“FDA encourages patients to talk with their health care provider or compounder about how to measure and administer the intended dose of compounded semaglutide.”
U.S. Food and Drug Administration, FDA alerts health care providers, compounders and patients of dosing errors associated with compounded injectable semaglutide products
Vial math
How many units is your tirzepatide or semaglutide dose?
On a compounded vial, the units depend on its strength. Here are the label doses at example strengths, with the math to check your own.
Tirzepatide
| Dose | mL at 25 mg/mL | Units (U-100) | On the label |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2.5 mg | 0.1 mL | 10 units | Starting dose, for 4 weeks |
| 5 mg | 0.2 mL | 20 units | A maintenance dose |
| 7.5 mg | 0.3 mL | 30 units | A step up |
| 10 mg | 0.4 mL | 40 units | A maintenance dose |
| 12.5 mg | 0.5 mL | 50 units | A step up |
| 15 mg | 0.6 mL | 60 units | The maximum, and a maintenance dose |
The math: mL = dose ÷ strength (mg per mL), and units = mL × 100. At 25 mg/mL, 10 mg is 10 ÷ 25 = 0.4 mL, or 40 units.
Semaglutide
| Weeks | Weekly dose | At 2.5 mg/mL | At 5 mg/mL |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 to 4 | 0.25 mg | 0.1 mL (10 units) | 0.05 mL (5 units) |
| 5 to 8 | 0.5 mg | 0.2 mL (20 units) | 0.1 mL (10 units) |
| 9 to 12 | 1 mg | 0.4 mL (40 units) | 0.2 mL (20 units) |
| 13 to 16 | 1.7 mg | 0.68 mL (68 units) | 0.34 mL (34 units) |
| 17 onward | 2.4 mg | 0.96 mL (96 units) | 0.48 mL (48 units) |
The math: mL = dose ÷ strength (mg per mL); units = mL × 100. At 2.5 mg/mL, 1 mg is 1 ÷ 2.5 = 0.4 mL, or 40 units. At 5 mg/mL, the same 1 mg is 0.2 mL, or 20 units.
25 mg per mL is an example only: it’s the strength of the 15 mg multi-dose vial on Zepbound’s label (15 mg per 0.6 mL). Read the strength on your own vial’s label; your provider sets your dose, in steps at least 4 weeks apart. Every step: the tirzepatide dosage chart. Both strengths are examples only. The same dose is a different number of units at a different strength, so read the strength on your own vial’s label. Your prescription sets your dose and schedule, which may differ from these label steps. Every step: the semaglutide dosage chart.

Important safety information
Compounded tirzepatide and semaglutide are not FDA-approved, and the FDA hasn’t reviewed them for safety, effectiveness or quality. A provider prescribes them only when they offer a significant difference for you compared with an FDA-approved product. Both medicines may cause thyroid tumors, including cancer: don’t use either if you or a family member has had medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) or multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2).
Read the full safety information
In studies with rodents, both medicines caused thyroid tumors; it isn’t known whether they cause them in people. Tell your provider if you notice a lump or swelling in your neck, hoarseness, trouble swallowing or shortness of breath. Serious side effects can include inflammation of the pancreas (pancreatitis), gallbladder problems, low blood sugar (especially with insulin or sulfonylureas), kidney problems from dehydration, severe stomach problems, serious allergic reactions, vision changes in people with type 2 diabetes, and a faster heart rate. Tell your care team before any surgery or procedure that uses anesthesia or deep sedation. Don’t combine either medicine with other
Tirzepatide can make birth control pills less effective: switch to a non-oral method, or add a barrier method such as condoms, for 4 weeks after you start and for 4 weeks after each dose increase. Both medicines may harm an unborn baby. Semaglutide should be stopped at least 2 months before a planned pregnancy. Tell your provider right away if you’re pregnant, planning to be, or breastfeeding.
This is a summary, not the complete safety information. Read the full Prescribing Information for FDA-approved tirzepatide (Zepbound) and semaglutide (Wegovy), and talk with your provider. You can report side effects to the FDA at
