LifeRx.md

Graded #127 · C

Strengths

  • Flat pricing that does not rise with dose: semaglutide ~$200, tirzepatide ~$275 per 5-week supply
  • LegitScript certified; prescriptions filled by state-licensed 503A pharmacies
  • Available in all 50 states
  • HSA and FSA payments accepted
  • Required video telehealth consult ensures clinician oversight

Where it loses points

  • Compounded GLP-1s are not FDA-approved for safety, efficacy or quality
  • Extra fees stack up: ~$30 shipping, $49.95 initial consult, $25 follow-ups
  • True monthly cost (~$255) is higher than the headline medication price
  • Specific list of supported states not enumerated on site
Velvet Rx

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
