Graded #106 · C
Strengths
- Budget-friendly compounded GLP-1 pricing (compounded semaglutide as low as $99/month, tirzepatide as low as $145/month)
- Multiple formats: compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide injections plus oral semaglutide and tirzepatide pill kits
- Upfront pricing with no insurance required and a fast 3-minute questionnaire to start
- Care delivered through DrTelx, an independent US telehealth medical group, with ongoing support and dose optimization
- HIPAA-compliant platform with a large self-reported member base (50,000+)
Where it loses points
- Compounded medications are not FDA-approved for weight loss (the site discloses this) — not brand Wegovy, Ozempic, Zepbound, or Mounjaro
- Available only in select U.S. states, and the full state list is not published
- The compounding pharmacy partner is not named
- Headline prices are 'as low as' rates (asterisked) — your actual monthly cost may be higher
- No LegitScript certification displayed; marketing leans heavily on testimonials
