Claya review

What it is

Claya is a telehealth company at 2345 Via Inspirada in Henderson, Nevada. Its terms describe it as a platform that connects patients with affiliated medical groups, whose independent clinicians make all treatment decisions, and its telehealth consent comes from OpenLoop Health, a clinician network used by several brands. The terms say the service is available in all 50 states and D.C. Two partner pharmacies are named on every page: RedRock Pharmacy in St. George, Utah, and Healthware House in Florence, Kentucky. Claya also offers wellness coaching and a mobile app with meal ideas, progress tracking and care-team messaging. Its membership page adds unlimited one-on-one provider consults, expedited refills, functional nutrition and health coaching, and an online community. It reports more than 12,500 patients served. The site displays a LegitScript seal, and disputes go to individual arbitration under its terms.

How it works

You complete a three-minute online assessment. A licensed provider reviews your profile and creates a treatment plan if a GLP-1 is appropriate; its how-it-works page describes this as a telehealth visit with one of its providers. If you're prescribed medication and the order clears before the pharmacy's daily cutoff, it can ship the same day, in discreet packaging. Medication ships every four weeks after that. A dedicated care coach checks in regularly with advice and support, and you can message the care team through the app, which also shows refill status. The company says your provider adjusts your dose as your body responds and that you can change or cancel your plan at any time. Support is by email, and the company says it also uses AI-powered check-ins between conversations with your care team. If a provider decides during treatment that you aren't eligible to continue, your subscription is canceled and a refund may be issued.

Pricing transparency

Claya's homepage shows semaglutide from $149 a month and tirzepatide from $199 a month, with the medication, provider review, ongoing support and shipping included. In one section those prices are labeled "with select multi-month plans"; in another they're shown as the starting price of a monthly plan shipped every four weeks. The tirzepatide plan is described as the same price at every dose. Its separate semaglutide page lists compounded semaglutide injections from $179 a month and tablets from $279, and its brand-name pages list Zepbound at $1,399 a month and a $49 monthly membership, so expect the figure to depend on which plan you pick. The company says plan options are shown before checkout. Under its cancellation policy, you can cancel any time, but the request has to arrive at least two days before your billing date or you'll be charged for one more cycle. A refund for the current cycle is possible only if your medication hasn't been ordered yet. Insurance isn't required or accepted.

Branded vs compounded

Claya's main program uses compounded semaglutide and compounded tirzepatide as weekly injections, made by licensed U.S. pharmacies. Its safety notice says compounded drugs are regulated by state boards of pharmacy but aren't evaluated by the FDA for safety or efficacy, which is accurate: compounded medications are not FDA-approved. The semaglutide page also lists compounded semaglutide tablets and mentions drops, and a separate page says Zepbound is available through Claya at a cash price. The weight-loss figures on its pages come from trials of the brand-name drugs. If you take other medications or supplements, its FAQ asks you to share the full list with your provider, since GLP-1s can interact with some drugs. A search of the FDA warning-letter database under Claya and its web address returned no letters.

Pros and watch-outs

The evidence behind what Claya prescribes

We grade the molecules, not the marketing. Here is what the human data actually shows for each thing on their menu.

• What the semaglutide weight-loss trials actually showed

  STEP 1, STEP 4, and SELECT — the efficacy, the rebound, and the cardiovascular signal, read straight from the primary literature.

• Tirzepatide vs semaglutide for weight loss: what the trials actually support

  Most comparisons are cross-trial. Only SURPASS-2 and SURMOUNT-5 randomized one drug against the other — here's the precise distinction.

• GLP-1 pill vs injection: what you trade for swallowing it

  Oral semaglutide 50 mg matched the injection to within 0.2 of a percentage point — but not at the approved dose, and the daily fasting protocol is the cost nobody mentions.
