LVNG RX vs RedBox Rx
The verdict
RedBox Rx takes it — 70.2/100 to 62.5/100.

RedBox Rx is a US telehealth pharmacy (parent company Hy-Vee) offering compounded GLP-1 weight management with flat, dose-independent pricing.

Graded #272 · C
Strengths
- One bundled price covers the provider visit, prescription, shipping and ongoing check-ins, with zero consultation charges
- States you are charged nothing if a provider does not approve you for treatment
- Promises no dose-change surcharges — 'the price we quote is the price you pay, period'
- Semaglutide from $149/mo is competitive against the wider compounded market
- Offers a lower-dose GLP-1 microdose program alongside standard semaglutide and tirzepatide
Where it loses points
- Displays a Trustpilot 'Rated Excellent 4.8 / 5' badge, but no Trustpilot profile exists for the domain or the brand
- Also claims '4.9 based on 300+ Google reviews'; no Google listing for the business could be located
- Its own homepage figures conflict — '10k+' members in the hero versus '1,743+ patients supported' in the counters below
- The actual plan price is confirmed only after provider review, and the three treatment pages publish no prices at all
- No compounding pharmacy, medical group or individual clinician is named anywhere on the site
Graded #111 · C
Strengths
- Flat, dose-independent pricing on both semaglutide and tirzepatide
- Offers both weekly injections and daily oral tablets
- Includes unlimited provider follow-ups, a metabolic panel and a dietitian session
- Backed by grocery-pharmacy parent company Hy-Vee
Where it loses points
- Does not serve every state (for example Mississippi is excluded)
- Does not publicly name its compounding pharmacy
