Fridays Review

Plans and real-world pricing

Fridays publishes two compounded GLP-1 options. Semaglutide is $249 month to month or as low as $150 per month on a 12 month prepay. Tirzepatide is $359 month to month or $240 per month on a 12 month prepay. Three and six month options sit in between and lower the monthly equivalent.

All medication doses are included at the same price within your plan. The help center states that pricing does not change when your dose increases, which makes budgeting simpler during titration.

Fridays' public pricing pages also show the same structure and note that medication costs are included when you use their partner pharmacies. Treat occasional promo codes as temporary.

Timeline: from intake to doorstep

Expect a provider review and prescription step first. Support articles quote two to three business days for the clinical review in many cases.

Once the prescription is at the pharmacy, most orders arrive within five to seven business days. Other articles list a five to ten day range, with the shipping leg itself often one to three days once the label is created.

Even on prepaid plans, medication ships one month at a time due to beyond-use dating. You must request the next month's refill in the portal after finishing your third dose from the first shipment. Billing every 28 days does not auto-ship, so set a reminder.

Compounding basics you should know

Fridays' entry-level pricing is for compounded medication. Compounded drugs are not FDA-approved. Fridays also notes their products are produced by regulated U.S. pharmacies and that medications may look different from brand vials.

Who does what: privacy, pharmacy, and legal terms

Fridays is operated by Thrive Health Group and is not your medical provider. Independent practices and provider networks, including OpenLoop Health, deliver care and make prescribing decisions. The patient portal you use for visits is operated by the provider group.

Partner pharmacies listed in the Terms include RedRock Pharmacy, Health Warehouse, Precision Compounding Pharmacy, and Triad Rx. Pharmacy assignment depends on your state and dose.

The Terms include a binding arbitration agreement with National Arbitration and Mediation, a class-action waiver, and venue in Orange County, California for disputes not in arbitration. You may opt out of arbitration within 30 days of becoming subject to it.
