| Pharmacy model | Effecty describes itself as a technology platform, not a medical practice or pharmacy. Per its consent-to-telehealth document, the platform runs on Bask Health Inc. infrastructure and clinical care is delivered by Beluga Health, P.A., an independent medical group, via asynchronous (chat/questionnaire-based) telehealth. Its site states that if medication is prescribed it is dispensed by state-licensed pharmacies, including compounding pharmacies; the Terms refer only to an unnamed "Effecty Pharmacy Network." No compounding pharmacy partner is named anywhere on the public site reviewed (homepage, Terms, FAQ, shipping policy, product pages). | SkinnyRx does not name a compounding or dispensing pharmacy anywhere on its own website or in its Terms and Conditions. Its FAQ states only, generically, that "503A pharmacies are licensed by state boards of pharmacy and are FDA-compliant." Notably, the FDA's February 2026 warning letter to SkinnyRx's operating company found that the compounded semaglutide/tirzepatide product labels pictured on skinnyrx.com display the name "SkinnyRx" itself, which the FDA determined falsely suggests SkinnyRx is the compounder of the drugs when in fact it is not — the actual compounder is left undisclosed to consumers. A federal class-action complaint filed against unrelated defendants (Foothills Professional Pharmacy, Ltd.; Avocado Health Technology, Inc.; Sajad Zalzala, M.D.; TeleRx Providers, P.C.) separately identifies SkinnyRx as one of several consumer-facing telehealth storefronts selling oral tirzepatide tablets, alleging (without SkinnyRx itself being a named defendant) that SkinnyRx's site "does not disclose any corporate leadership, ownership structure, clinical staff, prescribing entity, or pharmacy operations responsible for the issuance of prescriptions or fulfillment of medications sold through the platform." For branded medications (Wegovy, Zepbound, Mounjaro, and the investigational oral GLP-1 Foundayo), SkinnyRx's Terms state the medication purchase, dispensing, fulfillment, shipping, and billing are handled by a separate third-party pharmacy or manufacturer-affiliated program (its FAQ names NovoCare Pharmacy and LillyDirect as the manufacturer programs for this pathway), not by SkinnyRx. |
