What is the verdict on this provider?
Fridays advertises about $240 per month for tirzepatide, but whether mandatory fees are included is not confirmed in the captured source. Until fee inclusion is verified, that figure is not comparable with providers whose all-in cost is known.
What does tirzepatide actually cost at Fridays?
The captured source states: About $359 month-to-month; about $240/month on annual plan. Normalised, that is about $240 per month on the basis of advertised monthly rate with medication included and no separate membership fee. Mandatory fees recorded: Generally advertised as all-inclusive.
The figure that matters for a treatment that continues for years is the recurring cost after any introductory period, including every mandatory fee. Advertised headline prices frequently exclude membership, consultation, or shipping charges, which is why this site normalises before comparing.

How should the Fridays pricing structure be read?
The same source also publishes semaglutide pricing, which is useful context: a provider pricing both drugs allows a switch without changing provider, though the two are not interchangeable and any change is a prescriber decision.
Source confidence is recorded as high because the figures come from Official provider rather than secondary reporting. That describes the capture, not how long it will remain accurate — pricing in this market changes frequently.
What has not been verified?
What should you confirm before enrolling?
- The recurring price after any introductory or first-month rate, in writing.
- Every mandatory fee: membership, consultation, shipping, and any dose-related surcharge.
- Which compounding pharmacy dispenses, its state licence number, and whether it is 503A or 503B.
- What happens to the price when your dose increases.
- The cancellation method, notice period, and whether prepaid months are refundable.
- Whether the plan auto-renews and how to stop it.
- That a licensed clinician reviews your intake and is reachable for side-effect questions.

What is Fridays's status after the compounding change?
Fridays was captured on 2026-07-20 advertising compounded tirzepatide. That capture predates nothing — it is recent — but the legal basis for the product it describes changed before it was taken. Compounding of tirzepatide was permitted only while the drug sat on the FDA shortage list. The shortage was declared resolved on 2 October 2024 and reaffirmed by declaratory order on 19 December 2024, and enforcement discretion ended on 18 February 2025 for 503A pharmacies and 19 March 2025 for 503B outsourcing facilities.
This site therefore treats Fridays's captured pricing as a dated historic record of what the compounded market charged, not as a live offer to compare against others. If Fridays continues to advertise compounded tirzepatide, the useful question is not whether the price is competitive but what legal basis the product is supplied under and which state-licensed pharmacy dispenses it. Neither is verified in this record.
| Question | Position for Fridays | How this site treats it |
|---|---|---|
| Was compounded tirzepatide advertised at capture? | Yes | Recorded as a dated historic figure |
| Operating status at capture | Active | Reported as captured; not re-verified since |
| Legal basis for continued compounded supply | Not disclosed in the captured source | Verification Pending — not inferred |
| Dispensing pharmacy identity | Not disclosed | Verification Pending |
| Whether approved products are now offered | Not established in this record | Verification Pending — ask the provider directly |
How was Fridays's pricing classified?
Every provider on this site passes through the same four-part price test before it can appear in a cost ranking. The test asks whether the captured source states a recurring price, whether medication is included in that price, whether every mandatory fee is identified, and whether the figure describes the standard subcutaneous injection rather than an alternative formulation. Fridays is assessed below against each part in turn.
| Test | Result for this provider | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| A recurring price is stated | Yes | About $359 month-to-month; about $240/month on annual plan |
| Medication is included in that price | Yes for listed compounded plans | Determines whether the figure is the whole cost or only part of it |
| Every mandatory fee is identified | Generally advertised as all-inclusive | A separate recurring membership or care fee changes the real monthly outlay |
| The figure describes the standard injection | standard injection | Microdose, ODT, sublingual and troche preparations are not comparable with an injection |
| Classification result | verified all in | advertised monthly rate with medication included and no separate membership fee |
Fridays passes. The captured source states a recurring figure of $240 per month that includes medication and carries no separate mandatory membership charge, which is what makes it comparable with other providers on the same basis. That is less common in this market than it sounds: most captured sources advertise a starting price whose fee structure is left unstated, and those records cannot be placed on the same axis.
What would Fridays cost over time?
Because SURMOUNT-4 showed that stopping tirzepatide produces substantial weight regain, the financially relevant question is not what the first month costs but what sustained treatment costs. The table below projects Fridays's verified recurring rate across the horizons that maintenance actually implies. It assumes the price and the dose remain unchanged, neither of which is guaranteed — dose-coverage terms are unverified for this provider.
| Horizon | Months | Committed rate | Month-to-month | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| First quarter | 3 | $720 | $720 | — |
| Six months | 6 | $1,440 | $1,440 | — |
| One year | 12 | $2,880 | $2,880 | — |
| Two years | 24 | $5,760 | $5,760 | — |
| Three years | 36 | $8,640 | $8,640 | — |

Fridays's semaglutide pricing is recorded because the relationship between a provider's semaglutide and tirzepatide pricing is informative on its own. Semaglutide is typically the cheaper of the two in this market, and a provider whose tirzepatide premium is unusually large or unusually small relative to its semaglutide rate is worth asking about — it can reflect different pharmacy sourcing, different dose coverage, or a promotional structure that will not persist. For Fridays the captured semaglutide text reads: About $249 month-to-month; about $150/month on annual plan
The capture for Fridays is rated high confidence, meaning the figures were stated plainly on a first-party page in a form that left little room for interpretation. High confidence concerns the accuracy of the transcription, not the durability of the price: providers in this market change pricing frequently, and the verification date above is the honest boundary on how much weight the figure should carry.
What should you ask Fridays before enrolling?
These questions are selected against the specific gaps in Fridays's record rather than being a generic checklist. Ask them in writing and keep the reply: a verbal assurance from a sales channel is not a contractual term, and terms are what govern a dispute.
- What is the recurring monthly price after any introductory or first-month rate?
- Which compounding pharmacy prepares the medication, and what is its state licence number?
- Is that pharmacy a 503A compounder or a 503B outsourcing facility?
- Does the price change when the dose increases to 10 mg or 15 mg?
- What concentration is dispensed, in mg/mL, and what beyond-use date is assigned?
- How is the plan cancelled, what notice is required, and are prepaid months refundable?
- Does the plan auto-renew, and how is renewal stopped?
- Which licensed clinician reviews the intake, and how are side-effect questions handled?
A provider that answers all of these in writing has demonstrated something meaningful about how it operates. A provider that will not name its compounding pharmacy before payment has also told you something, and it is worth weighing that refusal as evidence in its own right.
What would moving from Fridays to an approved product cost?
Fridays's captured recurring figure was $240 per month. Zepbound self-pay through the manufacturer's direct channel is $299 per month at the starting dose and $449 at maintenance doses of 7.5 mg and above. Moving from this provider's captured rate to the approved product would therefore represent an increase of about $59 per month at the starting dose and $209 per month at maintenance — roughly $2,508 over a year.
| Group | $/month |
|---|---|
| Fridays (captured, historic) | 240 |
| Zepbound self-pay, 2.5 mg | 299 |
| Zepbound self-pay, 7.5 mg+ | 449 |
| Zepbound retail, no coverage | 1086 |
That increase is the honest cost of the regulatory change, and it is why an insurance route matters more now than provider comparison did before. A commercially insured reader with a covered weight-management benefit may pay a small copay rather than either figure above, which makes a coverage appeal the highest-value action available to most people in this position.
What should you ask Fridays now?
These questions are written for the post-shortage position rather than for a price comparison. The first three matter most: a provider still advertising compounded tirzepatide should be able to explain its legal basis and name its pharmacy, and an inability to do either is the most informative answer available.
- Is Fridays still supplying tirzepatide, and if so in what form?
- If a compounded product is still offered, what is the legal basis for supplying it?
- Which state-licensed pharmacy dispenses, and what is its licence number?
- Is the pharmacy a 503A compounder or a 503B outsourcing facility?
- Does the programme now offer FDA-approved Zepbound or Mounjaro instead?
- If an approved product is offered, is the price the medication alone or medication plus programme fees?
- Will the programme support an insurance prior-authorisation or appeal on your behalf?
- What happens to any prepaid balance if the programme can no longer supply what you paid for?
- How is cancellation handled, what notice is required, and are unused months refunded?
- Which licensed clinician is responsible for your care, and how are they contacted?
Prepaid balances deserve particular attention. Anyone who prepaid a multi-month compounded programme before the enforcement deadlines has a reasonable question about what they were supplied afterwards, and that question is worth putting in writing.
What do the technical terms on this page mean?
Definitions for the 10 technical terms this page uses, including 503A, 503B, GLP-1, auto-renewal — in the specific sense used above.
| 503A | A pharmacy that compounds patient-specific preparations against individual prescriptions. It is licensed by a state board of pharmacy and is not subject to the same federal manufacturing requirements as a 503B facility. |
|---|---|
| 503B | An outsourcing facility that may compound in larger batches without individual prescriptions. It registers with the FDA and is subject to current good manufacturing practice requirements, though registration is still not product approval. |
| GLP-1 | Glucagon-like peptide-1. An incretin hormone that slows gastric emptying, signals satiety to the brain, stimulates glucose-dependent insulin release, and suppresses inappropriate glucagon secretion. |
| auto-renewal | A term under which a plan renews automatically unless cancelled. Combined with a notice period, it determines how much money is at risk if treatment stops. |
| beyond-use date | The date after which a compounded preparation should not be used. It is assigned by the compounding pharmacy based on its own conditions, and is typically much shorter than a manufacturer expiry date derived from formal stability testing. |
| compounded | Prepared by a pharmacy rather than manufactured under an approved application. Compounded tirzepatide is not FDA approved and has not been evaluated in any randomised trial. |
| effective monthly cost | The recurring amount actually paid each month once every mandatory fee is included. It is frequently higher than the advertised medication price, which is why this site normalises before ranking. |
| membership fee | A recurring charge separate from the medication price, common in telehealth weight programmes. It can add $40 to $80 per month and frequently reverses which provider is genuinely cheaper. |
| mg/mL | Milligrams of drug per millilitre of liquid — the concentration. Two vials containing the same nominal dose can require different injection volumes if their concentrations differ, which is why this site does not publish volume calculations. |
| subcutaneous | Beneath the skin. Tirzepatide is given by subcutaneous injection, usually into the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm. |
