Medications

semaglutidetirzepatide

Pros

✓Flat pricing across doses is promised in the banner: "SAME PRICE EVERY MONTH"
✓Promotional rates published up front - GLP-1 from $89/month and GLP-1 + GIP from $149/month
✓24/7 support advertised, and no insurance required

Cons

✗The FDA has formally told altRx that its labelling and its "clinically proven" claims misrepresented its compounded products - see the warning letter above
✗The medication is compounded and therefore not FDA-approved - the agency has not reviewed it for safety, effectiveness or manufacturing quality
✗Compounded GLP-1 pricing in this tier is cheap partly because the product carries none of the trial programme, patent or distribution costs of the approved drug - and none of its regulatory review either
✗The headline rates are a dated summer promotion ("OFFER ENDS AUGUST 5TH AT MIDNIGHT") against a standing price of $199/month, so the advertised figure is not the ongoing one
✗No phone number, refund policy or pharmacy named on the site

Medications

semaglutide

Pros

✓Pricing is published without an intake: compounded semaglutide at $299/month, discounted from a stated $344, and Bella Capsules at $149/month (checked July 28, 2026)
✓Health coaching is bundled with the medication rather than sold as an upsell
✓The site states plainly that the medications are compounded, in the first line of the product description
✓An eligibility check is available before you commit to a plan

Cons

✗A Trustpilot average of 3.0 across roughly 1,000 largely unsolicited reviews is a real warning sign, and among the lowest of any provider on this site
✗The claim of 'up to 20% weight loss within 6 months' for compounded semaglutide does not match the evidence. The STEP-1 trial of branded semaglutide found about 15% over 68 weeks; 20% is closer to the tirzepatide figure, and neither trial studied a compounded product over six months
✗Describing its medication as containing ingredients 'clinically proven to be safe and effective' borrows the approved drug's evidence for a compounded preparation that has not been evaluated by the FDA for safety, efficacy or quality
✗At $299/month for compounded semaglutide, it is among the more expensive compounded options we cover - several providers charge under $200
✗Trustpilot lists the company's location as the United Kingdom, so check service coverage before assuming US availability
✗No published phone number
✗GLP-1 medications are not suitable for anyone with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or MEN 2, or during pregnancy
