MEDVi vs Taurus Meds for ED: What Is Actually in Each Formula
If you are choosing between these two, the decision is not which tablet to take. Neither company is selling you a tablet. MEDVi sells one combination product called Quad and Taurus Meds sells one combination product called Charge, both compounded, both built from three of the same prescription molecules, and both carrying a different fourth ingredient. The starting prices are about $16 apart. The real differences are what that fourth ingredient is, and the fact that one of these two companies is sitting on an open FDA warning letter.
What is actually in each formula
- MEDVi Quad: tadalafil, sildenafil, vardenafil, L-Citrulline. One dose. Compounded, not approved or reviewed by the FDA.
- Taurus Charge: sildenafil, tadalafil, vardenafil, apomorphine. Liquid. Compounded, not approved or reviewed by the FDA.
- Shared molecules: sildenafil, tadalafil, vardenafil. Each is FDA-approved on its own. The combination is not.
The fourth ingredient is the whole comparison
$16 apart, and two different pricing shapes
- MEDVi, erectile dysfunction: from $114.00 per month, verified 2026-09-06.
- Taurus Meds, erectile dysfunction: from $129.90 per month, verified 2026-08-22.
- Gap at the floor: about $16 a month in MEDVi's favor.
- Not verified at either company: refund terms, state coverage, or what the price does after the first month.
One of these two has an open FDA warning letter

How We Compared Medvi vs Taurus Meds
How we put this comparison together
Every price on this page comes from our own brand feature records, and each one is shown with the date we last verified it. Where that date is older than a few weeks we say so, because a starting price in this category can move between verifications. We quote floors only: the lowest monthly figure a company publishes for the category, never a figure below it and never a figure dressed up as what you will actually pay.
The regulatory section comes from the FDA's own warning letter index, read by letter number. We report what the letter says the agency found, we say whether a close-out letter exists, and where a company disputes the facts of a letter we print the dispute and whether we could verify it.
Where our records had a gap, we left the gap visible. Refund terms, state-by-state availability and renewal pricing are all unverified at both companies, and we would rather say that than fill it in.
Final Verdict: Medvi vs Taurus Meds
The verdict
MEDVi is about $16 a month cheaper at the floor and ships rush and in plain packaging. Taurus scores higher with us and carries no FDA letter in our records. If those were the only inputs this would be a coin toss.
They are not the only inputs. Both products are compounded combinations that no FDA review covers. Taurus's fourth ingredient is approved in the US for Parkinson's disease rather than for ED, which is a question to put to a clinician before you order, not after. MEDVi is carrying an open warning letter citing misbranding from February 2026 over how it described its own compounded products, with no close-out on record.
So the honest answer is that neither one wins on quality, because we cannot measure that, and both ask you to accept a formula outside FDA review. Choose on what you are least uncomfortable with: the ingredient question at Taurus, or the compliance record at MEDVi. If neither sits well, a single-molecule generic from a provider that sells one drug at a time is a legitimate third answer.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the MEDVi Quad formula FDA-approved?
No. MEDVi's own listing describes Quad as a compounded four-in-one formula, and compounded medications are not approved or reviewed by the FDA for safety, effectiveness or quality. Tadalafil, sildenafil and vardenafil each hold FDA approvals as standalone drugs, which is a separate thing from the combination being approved. It is not.
How much does Taurus Meds cost per month for ED?
The starting price we verified is $129.90 a month, as of 2026-08-22. Taurus markets Charge per dose rather than per month in its own copy, so if you see a smaller figure quoted anywhere, check what unit it is attached to before you compare it to anything. The monthly starting figure is the one we can stand behind, and it is a starting price rather than a final bill.
Why is apomorphine in an ED treatment?
Taurus includes it as the fourth ingredient in Charge alongside sildenafil, tadalafil and vardenafil. Worth knowing before you order: apomorphine's US approvals are all for Parkinson's disease rather than for erectile dysfunction, so its use here falls outside the indication and population it was approved for. Taurus says so in its own feature copy. Raise it with the clinician who reviews your case.
Which is cheaper, MEDVi or Taurus Meds?
MEDVi, at the starting price. $114.00 a month as of 2026-09-06 against $129.90 a month as of 2026-08-22, so roughly $16 a month apart. Both figures are entry prices and neither tells you what a full year costs, because we could not verify what either price does after the first month.
Does MEDVi charge you if you are not approved for treatment?
MEDVi states that if you do not qualify, you do not pay. That is the company's own stated term and we have not seen the contract language behind it, so treat it as a claim to confirm at checkout rather than as a verified refund policy. Taurus does not state an equivalent term in the listing we hold.
Does Taurus Meds treat anything besides ED?
Yes. Testosterone therapy from $149.00 a month as of 2026-09-12, plus peptides and hair regrowth, all under the same platform. Its TRT listing names both a free baseline testosterone test and $49 labs with clinician review, and we did not reconcile those two, so confirm which one applies before you budget for it. MEDVi's other verified line is weight loss, from $299.00 a month as of 2026-09-12.
Has either company been warned by the FDA?
MEDVi has. The FDA issued MEDVi, LLC warning letter MARCS-CMS 721455 on February 20, 2026, citing misbranding under sections 502(a) and 502(bb) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act over labeling that implied MEDVi compounds its own drugs and over sameness claims that implied an approval compounded drugs do not hold. We checked FDA's warning letter index for MARCS-CMS 721455 on October 6, 2026: it listed no response letter and no close-out letter, so the letter has not been closed out. We hold no such letter for Taurus Meds, which means we found no record, not that a record cannot exist.
