Onyx Weight Loss vs telos rx
The verdict
telos rx takes it — 85.4/100 to 58.8/100.
telos rx grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. A LegitScript-certified, HIPAA telehealth with one of the deepest published catalogs on the board — compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide (oral and microdosed routes included) alongside PT-141, intranasal NAD+, and a long recovery/GH peptide bench — with compounded GLP-1 starting from $49/mo on an annual plan.

Graded #359 · C
Strengths
- Competitive entry pricing: semaglutide from $228/mo and tirzepatide from $280/mo with medication + supplies included
- Nurse-practitioner-led care: founder Tasha Vangile FNP-C (20+ years) and Stephanie Robison APRN-CNP (27 years experience)
- Low-cost $99/mo GLP-1 microdosing option for patients who prefer a gradual titration start
- Strive Pharmacy partnership implies compounded 503A-quality supply chain from a known pharmacy
- Multi-modal clinic: GLP-1 + peptides + HRT + nutrition coaching available under one provider team
Where it loses points
- Only 8 states (NC, CO, ME, VT, VA, IA, NH, PA) — excludes the majority of the US
- No LegitScript certification; credentialing evidence limited to local 2025 Best of Iredell award
- Specific drug names (semaglutide/tirzepatide) never stated on website; compounded status inferred, not disclosed
- Labs not included or mentioned; no baseline bloodwork protocol published
- Pricing shown as 'Starting at' with no dose-escalation tier pricing disclosed publicly
Graded #9 · B
Strengths
- Deep published catalog — sema, tirz, PT-141, intranasal NAD+, recovery/GH peptides, GHK-Cu, Dihexa, HRT
- Needle-free and oral GLP-1 options, not injection-only
- LegitScript-certified and HIPAA, with US providers and pharmacies, HSA/FSA and free shipping
- Low GLP-1 entry — from $49/mo microdosed on an annual plan
Where it loses points
- Everything is compounded and not FDA-approved, including the peptides
- Pricing is opaque outside GLP-1 and the lowest rates require annual lock-in
- No named clinicians and thin third-party reviews
- Several research-grade peptides carry limited clinical evidence
