About CeliaRx
Tablets begin near $199/month; injectable vials average as little as $125-$225/month. Screening by a clinician happens once you have checked out, and the money comes back in full if approval does not follow. Partell Pharmacy compounds what is prescribed. The marketplace leans toward longevity, listing a wider peptide catalog for brain, gut, hair and skin beside compounded tirzepatide and semaglutide sold as B12-combo injectables or dissolving oral tablets.

For patients who qualify, the floor is $124/month on semaglutide and $184/month on tirzepatide. Payment is cash only, with Klarna-style financing and HSA/FSA both accepted. Life Vitality LLC runs the site, putting patients in touch with independent providers who hold licenses; the compounded drug then leaves a 503A pharmacy under cold chain. Consent and clinical intake are handled on the telehealth platform belonging to OpenLoop.

- Tirzepatide costs $225 a month, 10% below the $250 median for compounded tirzepatide across the sellers we compare
- Shows its price before the medical questionnaire, so you can compare it without handing over health information

- We found no FDA warning letters issued to CeliaRx
Watch-outs
- Confirm it serves your state before you start the intake
- Ask which pharmacy fills the prescription before you pay, so you can check its license
- 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
