Factor by factor
The six factors behind each Value Score. The orange bar marks the stronger side. See the methodology.
Vitara RX
VitaraRx is a direct-to-consumer telehealth marketplace offering compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide at flat per-drug pricing across all doses — no membership or hidden fees.
Why it's a deal
- Among the lowest flat pricing in the market — $99/mo semaglutide and $149/mo tirzepatide, all doses same price
- Names its 503A pharmacy partner (Manifest Pharmacy, Greer SC) — strong supply-chain transparency
- LegitScript Certified
- Publishes the FDA compounded-medication disclaimer
- Covers 49 states with an explicit state list, not vague "most states" language
The fine print
- No corporate legal entity disclosed — only the trade name "VitaraRx"
- No named medical director — all clinical decisions made by independent providers (marketplace model)
- All sales final — no medication returns
- Per-vial mg quantity isn't clearly disclosed, making price comparisons harder
- Doesn't ship to Alaska
Apex MD
Apex MD is a US virtual telemedicine platform licensed in all 50 states that prescribes compounded GLP-1 medications for weight loss.
Why it's a deal
- Licensed in all 50 states
- Unlimited provider visits and Labcorp labs included in the plan
- Both semaglutide and tirzepatide, injectable or oral
- Medication delivery typically in under four business days
The fine print
- Compounds bundle NAD, B-12 and L-Carnitine rather than a single-ingredient GLP-1
- Does not publicly name its compounding pharmacy or list an accreditation seal
