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

The fine print
- No LegitScript certification; company founded 2026 — no public track record or long-term patient-outcomes data
- Minimal clinical oversight: $39 asynchronous intake form only — no live video consult required, no labs mandated, no monitoring protocol; lowest
- Per-vial pricing makes true monthly cost opaque; every refill costs another $39 visit fee on top of vial price and $15 shipping

- No coaching, labs, dietitian support, or clinical monitoring included at any tier — purely prescription + dispensing
