Defy Medical pricing

Defy does not list prices on its get-started page. It says there are no subscriptions or contracts, and that labs and a consult come before any treatment [1]. Because the price is unknown, this review is marked incomplete.

Services on offer

Defy lists TRT, Trimix, "anabolic therapies", women's bioidentical hormone therapy, semaglutide and tirzepatide, peptides, ketamine and IV therapy [2]. That is a broad menu, and the pages we read did not say whether the semaglutide and tirzepatide are brand or compounded. Compounded versions are not FDA-approved [6]. Ask which items are FDA-approved products. Our compounded tirzepatide explainer covers the issues.

Label facts for testosterone

On Feb 28 2025, FDA removed the boxed warning language on cardiovascular risk from testosterone labels, added TRAVERSE results, kept the limitation on age-related hypogonadism, and added a blood pressure warning to products that lacked one [7].

FDA and consumer record

Defy is not among the telehealth companies in our FDA warning letter tracker. Our full FDA database search on Oct 17 2026 could not be completed because fda.gov limited requests [8]. We did not check BBB because bbb.org blocks automated access.

Who Defy suits

  • Suits: you want labs and a consult before any prescription [1].
  • Suits: you want to avoid subscriptions and contracts [1].
  • Does not suit: you want a posted price. Hone Health lists $25 and $155 memberships [9].
  • Does not suit: you want only FDA-approved therapies and would rather not be offered peptides or anabolic agents.

Safety

Testosterone gels carry a boxed warning because children exposed to application sites developed virilization [10]. Blood pressure can rise on any testosterone product [7]. Call 911 for chest pain or trouble breathing.
