Maximus review
Monthly is the dear option
$249.99 a month on a one-month plan, $199.49 on four months, $150.32 on twelve — Maximus publishes the whole ladder rather than one figure.
Our verdict
Of the three plans Maximus publishes, the advertised monthly one carries the highest per-month figure — $100 a month above its own twelve-month rate. Maximus is unusually open about that, which makes it easy to compare properly: the one-month figure is the honest number for anyone who might stop, and the twelve-month figure is the honest number for anyone who will not.

What it is
A men's health and performance service selling compounded and branded GLP-1 medication across fifty-one states, with plan length as the primary pricing variable.
How it works
Prescription-gated, structured around committed plans. Both compounded and brand-name products are offered, which is less common than one or the other.
Pricing transparency
Compounded semaglutide is $249.99 on one month, $199.49 on four and $150.32 on twelve. Compounded tirzepatide is $359.99 on one month, $298.99 on four and $240.66 on twelve. Brand-name versions are also listed, at $249.99 and $449.99 respectively.
Branded vs compounded
Both compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide, and branded product dispensed as the manufacturer's pen. Those are different products at different prices and should not be compared against each other.
FDA warning letter on record
The FDA issued a warning letter naming Maximus Health, Inc. dba Maximus.
- Letter 730095, issued June 8, 2026 — read it on fda.gov
We publish this because it is a matter of public record and a reader weighing this provider should have it. A warning letter is the FDA setting out alleged violations; it is not a court finding, and a company may have responded or corrected since. It does not remove Maximus from our rankings, and it does not change our verdict — read the letter and decide for yourself.
Pros and watch-outs
What we like
- Publishes the full prepay ladder rather than a single headline
- Offers both compounded and branded product
- Price holds across doses within a plan
- Fifty-one states
Watch-outs
- The one-month rate is well above this market's middle
- Its lowest per-month figures require a twelve-month commitment
- Brand and compounded prices sit side by side, which invites the wrong comparison
Best for
Buyers confident they will stay a year, where the $150.32 figure is genuinely competitive.
Who should look elsewhere
Anyone testing the water. At $249.99 for a single month there are much cheaper ways to try.

Frequently asked
- How much does Maximus cost per month?
- It depends entirely on the commitment. Compounded semaglutide is $249.99 for a single month, $199.49 a month on a four-month plan, and $150.32 a month on twelve. The monthly plan costs $100 a month more than the annual one.
- Is the twelve-month plan worth it?
- Financially it is a large saving — about $1,200 over a year against paying monthly. Whether it suits you depends on whether you are confident you will tolerate the drug and stay on it, since the commitment comes before you know.
- What is the difference between the compounded and brand prices?
- Brand-name product is the manufacturer's own pen, FDA-approved and dispensed as-is. Compounded product is prepared by a pharmacy against a prescription and is not FDA-approved or reviewed before dispensing. They are different products, so comparing one seller's compounded price against another's brand price produces a meaningless number.
- Does the price rise as the dose increases?
- No. Within a plan the monthly figure holds across doses; what changes the price is the length of commitment, not the milligrams.
- Is Maximus legit?
- FDA issued warning letter 730095 to Maximus Health, Inc. dba Maximus on June 8, 2026. The letter is linked on this page. A warning letter sets out alleged violations; it is not a court finding. Read the linked record before deciding. Maximus is a GLP-1 telehealth service. Its stated availability: 51 states. Before you pay, confirm whether it bills insurance and how its intake works in writing for your selected treatment.
- Is Maximus expensive compared with other GLP-1 providers?
- Maximus is listed from $249.99/mo in this comparison. The 387 reviewed GLP-1 providers with a listed monthly starting amount range from $76 to $1299, with a median of $179. That puts Maximus above the median. The comparison excludes 192 other reviewed GLP-1 providers. Medicines, doses and payment commitments differ. Confirm the medication, renewal charge and included visits, supplies and delivery before deciding.
