HealthRX vs Velvet Rx
The verdict
HealthRX takes it — 86.1/100 to 58.1/100.
HealthRX grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. A LegitScript-certified (#50087439) physician-supervised program that runs a rare oral GLP tablet alongside the usual injectables — compounded semaglutide from ~$189/mo, tirzepatide/GLP+GIP up to ~$349, with a brand Ozempic pass-through if you need it.

Graded #8 · B
Strengths
- LegitScript-certified (#50087439) — a genuine, verifiable trust signal
- Physician-supervised intake with licensed providers
- Both molecules plus a rare oral GLP tablet option
- Transparent flat monthly pricing, no insurance required
Where it loses points
- Compounded semaglutide/tirzepatide is not FDA-approved
- Some tiers are company-stated and the public site is thin
- Brand Ozempic is a steep pass-through (~$1,299)
- State count is not publicly listed
Graded #381 · C
Strengths
- Public pricing across 3 SKUs (semaglutide $299, tirzepatide $359, oral GLP-1 $349) — uncommon in compounded telehealth
- First-month promo pricing shown upfront ($139 sema / $199 tirz / $189 oral)
- Single monthly price includes consult, prescription, 4 weeks of medication, and free 1–2 day shipping
- FSA/HSA eligible
- Three options under one roof: injectable sema, injectable tirz, and an oral GLP-1
Where it loses points
- Oral GLP-1 SKU doesn't name the specific drug — a real gap given Rybelsus, Foundayo, and compounded oral semaglutide differ clinically
- No LegitScript or NABP .pharmacy seal displayed
- No legal entity name disclosed
- No physical address disclosed
- Compounding pharmacy partner not named
