AZ Health vs RxPepsDirect
The verdict
AZ Health takes it — 69/100 to 68.7/100, but only just.
AZ Health grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. AZ Health (AZHM) is an Arizona-based, 100% virtual medical weight-loss clinic offering physician-prescribed compounded semaglutide (from $179/mo) and tirzepatide (from $199/mo), plus NAD+ injections, on… RxPepsDirect is close behind and may still be the better fit — see the factor split below.

Graded #133 · C
Strengths
- Transparent flat monthly pricing — semaglutide from $179/mo, tirzepatide from $199/mo, no insurance required
- Discloses that compounded medications are not FDA-approved and require a prescription
- FSA/HSA eligible, free discreet shipping, and cancel anytime
- Ongoing physician check-ins; also offers NAD+ injections
Where it loses points
- LegitScript certification is self-stated on the site and not independently verifiable
- Single-page site with no published Terms, Privacy, or HIPAA policy
- Compounding pharmacy partner not named (states only 'FDA-registered pharmacies')
- Legal entity not disclosed; availability limited (~half of US states, Arizona-focused)
Graded #140 · C
Strengths
- Every component of the price is published on the site — the vial tiers, the flat visit charge and the flat overnight delivery — so the all-in monthly cost can be worked out before ordering
- No subscription and no commitment: you pay per order, and one visit charge covers up to three peptides on the same prescription
- Real 503A telehealth Rx — licensed NP/PA prescribers under medical director Dr. Jonathan Snipes (NPI 1821250077), dispensed by Optimal Balance Pharmacy, Texas Board #34829
- Independent batch COA testing by Eagle Analytical (FDA-registered, A2LA ISO 17025): 54/54 sterility and endotoxin passes published publicly
- Ships pre-reconstituted by FedEx overnight with syringes, alcohol wipes and a reusable cooled travel case included
Where it loses points
- The advertised vial price is not the monthly cost: a flat $39 medical visit charge and $15 flat FedEx shipping land on every order, and the visit charge recurs on every reorder rather than once
- Higher doses need more than one vial a month and the site publishes no price for the dose you titrate up to, so the figure above is a floor
- Minimal clinical oversight: a roughly two-minute asynchronous intake, no live video consult, no labs required and no published dose-escalation monitoring
- No LegitScript certification, and the company was founded in 2026 with no public track record or outcomes data
- Only 28 states and DC — California is excluded, along with most of the Southeast (AL, AR, GA, MS, NC, SC, TN, VA)
