About 10rx
10rx sets flat monthly rates on compounded GLP-1: semaglutide at $99.67, tirzepatide at $149.67, with NAD+ and sermorelin sold separately for energy and recovery. A free health quiz online reaches a board-certified telehealth doctor, who reads your history before writing anything, and licensed pharmacy partners handle discreet delivery. The company states it reaches every one of the 50 states. What it does not state is its operating company, its pharmacies, or any terms page.

- Its semaglutide and tirzepatide are compounded rather than FDA-approved, so they have not been reviewed by the agency for safety, effectiveness or manufacturing quality
