Provider review
Center for Medical Weight Loss (CMWL) review
The "$116/month" hero price is the 3-month-plan rate — month-to-month is $149
CMWL's homepage hero banner leads with "$116/mo" for semaglutide as its main, largest-type price, with "$149/mo with a 3-month plan" printed in smaller struck-through text right below it — the reverse of what that phrasing implies. Reading the actual markup: $116 and $159 (tirzepatide) are the 3-month-prepay rates; $149 and $239 are the standing month-to-month rates. A $50 fee is withheld from any refund issued after a completed provider visit, applied "towards the service provided in the approval process," and the cancellation request must be made the same day as the telemedicine visit to qualify at all.
Straight talk: how we earn — some, not all, of these are affiliate links; start a program through one and we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Straight about the rest, too: the write-ups say what each provider is actually worth, and a commission does not change a word of them. Full disclosure here.

The verdict
Center for Medical Weight Loss prices compounded semaglutide from $116/month and tirzepatide from $159/month — both figures are the 3-month prepay rate; the standing month-to-month price is $149 and $239. It's part of the established Center for Medical Weight Loss brand with 24-hour approvals and free 3-5 day shipping, and describes its pharmacy partners only as "LegitScript-certified," without naming one. A same-day cancellation after a completed provider visit still costs $50, withheld from the refund. State availability is not published as a list.
Center for Medical Weight Loss (CMWL) is not ranked on any of our boards. This is a standalone read of what the company publishes about itself — the providers we do rank in this category are on our semaglutide provider ranking. Nothing on this page is a performance claim — see the evidence review for what these compounds do and do not do.
Who it is for, and who it is not
A good fit if
- You're comfortable committing to a 3-month plan to reach the advertised $116/$159 rate
- You want the established Center for Medical Weight Loss brand name behind the prescribing
- You value fast, stated 24-hour approval turnaround
Look elsewhere if
- You want the headline price to be the month-to-month rate — it's $33-$80 more per month without the 3-month commitment
- You want a specific pharmacy named rather than a generic "LegitScript-certified" claim
- You want a same-day cancellation after your provider visit to cost nothing
What it actually costs
What they advertise
"$116/mo" semaglutide and "$159/mo" tirzepatide are CMWL's largest-type hero prices, per thecmwl.com.
What you actually pay, month to month
Both hero figures require a 3-month plan. The standing month-to-month rate is $149 (semaglutide) and $239 (tirzepatide) — the smaller struck-through text directly beneath the hero price.
The commitment trap
3-month prepay rate displayed as the largest-type headline price, with the real month-to-month rate shown only in smaller struck-through text beneath it.
Money you will meet later

Compounded peptides are not FDA-approved products, and a 503A pharmacy compounds for a named patient while a 503B outsourcing facility manufactures in batches under CGMP. Neither is a quality guarantee on its own — a named facility is simply a fact you can check, and an unnamed “partner pharmacy network” is not. Our guide to verifying a certificate of analysis covers what to ask for.
Where you can get it
Not published as a list — the homepage states "some states are ineligible" without naming which.
The honest cons
The part they would rather you skipped
The largest-type price on the homepage is the 3-month-prepay rate; the real month-to-month price sits underneath it in smaller, struck-through text — and even a same-day cancellation after a completed provider visit still costs $50, withheld from whatever is refunded.
- Hero price requires a 3-month commitment; month-to-month costs $33-$80 more per month
- No specific pharmacy named
- $50 non-refundable fee on same-day cancellation after a completed provider visit
- State eligibility list not published
None of this is unique to Center for Medical Weight Loss (CMWL) — the whole category shares it. What we hold against a provider is the part it hides, and the ways vendors hide things are catalogued in our vendor red-flags guide.
How it compares
The providers we rank on our semaglutide provider ranking, in the order that board ranks them. Center for Medical Weight Loss (CMWL) is not among them: it is reviewed here, not ranked there, and we would rather show you the comparison than pretend the two are the same thing.
- BHBodybuilding Health+One of the deepest peptide catalogues here, and the loosest one
- Enhance MDWrites a flat-price-at-every-dose policy down — and charges near the top for it
- RxSpan MDOral tablet only, at a real $179 monthly rate
- Direct MedsThe plainest price mechanics on either board, from a company with an FDA warning letter
- Synergy RxPublishes a starting number, and nothing about what it commits you to
- Sprout HealthA $150 markdown the site never explains, and a semaglutide price quoted by the quarter
- Strut HealthInjection or troche, but $119 is the auto-refill price only
- MadeMedPrices are published — but there is no monthly option at all

Read this before you buy
A provider comparison is half the decision. The other half is whether the compound does anything for you at all — and whether it is allowed where you compete. Growth-hormone secretagogues are banned in tested sport, year-round, and a prescription does not change that.
