How Astra compares

  • Monthly price. Astra: $68 (prepaid) a month. Cheaper here: WellMedRx at $49, Collective at $59 (plus a membership) and Enhanced at $59 (prepaid). The table compares standing monthly rates, not first-month promotions.
  • Medication. Astra sells compounded and brand-name semaglutide and tirzepatide. If you would rather not inject, Embody offers an oral option.
  • Where it ships. Astra says it serves all 50 states, so coverage is not a reason to switch.
  • What the price includes. Astra's price covers the medication, clinician visits and shipping.
  • Strongest and weakest score. Astra's best factor is Effectiveness at 10.0/10 and its weakest is Support at 7.0.

Before you leave Astra

Canceling
Astra lets members cancel at any time.
Minimum commitment
Monthly, 3-, 6- or 12-month plans, each paid up front and renewed automatically for the same term.
Refunds
Subscription terms: "Full refund if a provider does not prescribe. You may request a refund within 24 hours of purchase if no medication has shipped. No refund once medication has been prepared or shipped. Prior payments are not prorated."

Pharmacies
VialsRx, Hallandale Pharmacy and MediVera Compounding Pharmacy fill Astra's prescriptions, among 6 pharmacies in all. A new seller writes its own prescription and sends it to its own pharmacy, so expect a new vial and check its concentration before the first dose.
Price before intake
Astra shows its prices before the medical questionnaire. So do Collective, Embody and CoreAge Rx, among 10 here.
Further reading
Astra sells 3 peptides; which have human trials is a separate question from price. To set Astra's terms against other sellers', see the cancellation and refund index.
