Medications

Pros

✓A published, all-in price for the compounded semaglutide programme: $250.00 with home delivery included
✓Brand-name options are listed alongside compounded ones - Ozempic, Mounjaro, Saxenda, Wegovy, Zepbound and Contrave all appear in the medication catalogue
✓A published phone number, (214) 466-6618, plus email and text support - more contactable than most telehealth weight-loss services
✓Coverage across all 50 states plus the District of Columbia
✓Long service hours: Monday to Friday 5am to midnight CT, weekends 6am to 1am CT
✓No appointment needed - visits happen online when you start them
✓A "Subscribe & Save" programme brings general visits down to $12, useful if you use the service for more than weight loss
✓An RX Savings Card is offered to reduce prescription costs
✓Every programme includes a licensed provider visit that reviews your history and confirms the medication and dose

Cons

✗The $250 compounded semaglutide price is presented on the medication page, but the weight-loss programme pages do not carry a comparable published price for every option
✗Compounded medication is not FDA-approved and has not been reviewed by the FDA for safety, quality or efficacy
✗No refund or cancellation policy is published on the weight-loss pages
✗Insurance is not addressed on the weight-loss pages - this reads as a cash-pay service
✗Patient testimonials are duplicated verbatim across the page, which undermines their value as evidence
✗It is a broad urgent-care telehealth service first and a weight-loss provider second, so there is no dedicated coaching or nutrition programme
✗HSA/FSA acceptance is not stated

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
