SkinnyRx sells compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide, in tablets and in an injection, and prices each product as a starting figure rather than a dose schedule. Its record carries two entries, and they are not the same kind of fact, so read both before a high customer rating decides it for you.
Verdict: We would not send you to SkinnyRx first. Its record carries an FDA warning letter from February 2026 for false and misleading claims, and a federal lawsuit filed in January 2026. It also publishes one starting figure per product and no dose schedule, so a higher dose has no knowable cost. A high customer rating is not a regulatory record.
- Publishes its legal entity, so there is a named company behind the brand: Lean Rx, Inc., trading as SkinnyRx.
- Prices an oral and an injectable route for tirzepatide, so changing format does not mean changing provider.
- All three plans are billed monthly rather than as a prepaid term.

No cancellation fee. HSA/FSA accepted where the provider states it; we have not established whether insurance is billed. None of these plans currently carries a dated price, so every figure reads "Not published" rather than an estimate.
Where it falls short
Two entries sit on this record and they are not equivalent. A warning letter is a regulator acting. A lawsuit is a private party filing, and the allegations in Buchholz v. Lean Rx have not been decided. Neither is answered by a customer rating, which measures how people felt about their orders. Separately, SkinnyRx prices each product as a starting figure with no schedule behind it, so what escalating a dose costs cannot be worked out from its own pages.
- FDA issued a warning letter to Lean Rx, Inc. dba SkinnyRx in February 2026 for false and misleading claims and misbranding. Cited to the FDA's own record on this page.
- Buchholz v. Lean Rx, Inc. was filed in federal court in January 2026. Allegations only, and not decided.
- Publishes one starting figure per product and no dose schedule, so we cannot tell you what a higher dose costs.
- We could not establish whether it files insurance claims on your behalf.

The record, and what it does not settle
Both entries below come from a primary source with a date on it. Neither is our characterization of the company. One further fact about the product: every plan SkinnyRx publishes is a compounded preparation rather than the branded product. That is the only thing we assert about the drug itself.
FDA issued a warning letter to Lean Rx, Inc. dba SkinnyRx for false and misleading claims and misbranding in connection with telehealth marketing.
FDA 20 Feb 2026 Primary source (opens in a new tab)Buchholz v. Lean Rx, Inc., case number 5:26-cv-00846, was filed in federal court. The allegations have not been decided and no finding has been made against the company.
CourtListener (RECAP federal dockets) 26 Jan 2026 Primary source (opens in a new tab)Questions readers ask
Is SkinnyRx legitimate?
It is a named, trading company, Lean Rx, Inc. It also has two entries on its record: a regulator's warning letter and a federal lawsuit, both dated and sourced above. We publish both and we do not settle the question for you.
How much does SkinnyRx cost a month?
The table above carries every price we could read and date, one per product. Each is what SkinnyRx publishes as a starting figure, and it does not publish what a higher dose costs. Treat the table as the floor and not the ceiling.
Does SkinnyRx take insurance?
No. Our record has it as cash-pay, so nothing is filed on your behalf.
Its Trustpilot score is high. Why does that not change the verdict?
The two measure different things. Trustpilot collects what customers say about their orders. The record above is a regulator's action and a court filing. We publish both and let neither stand in for the other.
Why does SkinnyRx score below providers with a similar first-year cost?
Two criteria go against it. It publishes no dose schedule, and it has two actions on record. The score panel on this page breaks out every criterion, so you can see which ones cost it what.
Where it prescribes
No state coverage on file for SkinnyRx.
