Rylo Health vs TeleFirst Med
The verdict
Rylo Health takes it — 64.7/100 to 57.4/100.
Rylo Health grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. Texas-prescriber telehealth selling compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide alongside a peptide line, naming both its medical group and its dispensing pharmacy.

Graded #240 · C
Strengths
- Names its dispensing pharmacy in full, with address and phone: VialsRX in Houston, Texas
- Names its medical group, Lone Star Virtual Health PLLC, and gives a provider contact
- Standard prices published openly alongside the promotional rate, so the real ongoing cost is visible
- Cancel in one click from the patient portal, with no contracts and no cancellation fees
- Peptide line priced openly, including NAD+ and sermorelin
Where it loses points
- Headline $100 and $160 rates are limited to the first 20 patients; standard rates are $149 and $249
- No LegitScript certification is claimed or displayed
- Several peptide products are advertised as coming soon rather than available
- No published refund policy beyond the no-cancellation-fee statement
Graded #400 · C
Strengths
- Prescribes real brand-name GLP-1 (e.g. Ozempic/Wegovy), not compounded — appealing if you specifically want FDA-approved branded medication
- Simple $120 telehealth evaluation with a licensed doctor; no insurance hassle and no prior authorization
- You fill the prescription at your own regular pharmacy rather than waiting on a mail-order compounding pharmacy
- Also a general telehealth clinic (urgent care, chronic-condition management) if you want broader care
Where it loses points
- Only Texas and North Carolina are confirmed — not available nationwide
- The $120 is an evaluation fee; the brand-name medication is billed separately at your pharmacy and can be expensive without insurance
- Small practice (about 500 patients) with limited public detail on its clinicians and program
- No compounded or lower-cost medication option, and no medication pricing is published
