Factor by factor

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
MedLeanRx
MedLeanRx is a physician-guided telehealth weight-loss clinic serving Texas only, based in Spring, TX.
Why it's a deal
- Compounded semaglutide $149/mo in both weekly injection and daily oral tablet form
- Brand pathway for Wegovy, Zepbound, and Foundayo (orforglipron) at a $99/mo fee plus medication cost
- Intro bundle: 2 months of compounded tirzepatide (2 mg weekly) for $325 — about $163/mo
- LegitScript seal displayed; named supervising physician (Dr. Johnson Uzor, MD)
- Free shipping, no hidden fees, and cancel-anytime plans per homepage trust chips
The fine print
- Texas only — not available in the other 49 states
- Compounded tirzepatide is $269/mo at standard pricing, above the ~$249 market median
- Strict no-refund policy: 'All sales are final' per Terms & Conditions
- Pharmacy partner not publicly named — a transparency gap for a compounding service
- Legal entity name and founding details not published on the site
