Ozari Health vs PauseRX
The verdict
Ozari Health takes it — 68.9/100 to 68.5/100, but only just.
Ozari Health grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. Ozari Health is a telehealth weight-loss platform selling physician-prescribed compounded GLP-1 from licensed 503A/503B pharmacies. PauseRX is close behind and may still be the better fit — see the factor split below.
We may earn a commission if you start care through some of these links, at no extra cost to you. It never moves the WeighScore, which is the weighted average of the six factors shown for every provider, and what we write about a provider is the same either way. See our disclosure.

Graded #136 · C
Strengths
- Very low entry pricing — compounded semaglutide from $86/month
- LegitScript certified and operated by a named entity (Ozari LLC)
- Board-certified physicians; meds compounded in 503A and 503B facilities
- Shipping included in the plan price
Where it loses points
- The advertised rates are three-month starter plans for first-time GLP-1 users, billed $257 and $375 up front; month-to-month is $175 and $235
- Cancelling an annual or semi-annual plan early re-prices the installments already shipped at the standard monthly rate and charges the difference
- Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide are not FDA-approved finished products
Graded #147 · C
Strengths
- Names its 503A pharmacy partner (Strive Pharmacy, Gilbert AZ) — buyers can independently verify its licensure
- Names its physician network (Beluga Health) — you can research the clinical platform handling your prescriptions
- Publishes the FDA compounded-medication disclaimer
- Corporate legal entity disclosed (PauseRX, Inc.) — uncommon for direct-to-consumer GLP-1 platforms
- Flat $199 'all doses' compounded semaglutide pricing — no per-tier escalation
Where it loses points
- States served not listed — site claims nationwide, but you must contact support to confirm availability
- Restrictive cancellation policy — orders can't be changed or canceled once submitted, and medications can't be returned
- No named medical director (Beluga Health is the network, not a named MD)
- LegitScript certification number not shown — badge only, so no direct lookup
- Insurance not accepted — cash-pay only; HSA/FSA eligibility not confirmed
