Steady-state monthly pricing never appears on the marketing home page. TeleZen MD runs entirely online, 100% so by its own description, and routes GLP-1 therapy through pharmacies inside the U.S. that are FDA-registered. Coverage is claimed for all 50 states, with the caveat, in the provider's words, 'subject to medical eligibility and state regulations.' Anyone ordering for the first time is offered $100 off with the code WELCOME100.

Curex
What we like
- Semaglutide costs $199 a month, close to the $185 median for compounded semaglutide across the sellers we compare
- Tirzepatide costs $199 a month, 20% 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
- The monthly price includes the medication, clinician visits and shipping
- Serves 45 states
Watch-outs
- Not included in the monthly price: lab work
- Ask which pharmacy fills the prescription before you pay, so you can check its license
- The FDA has issued Curex a warning letter. Read what it alleges: a letter flags a problem but does not by itself rule a seller out
- 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
TeleZen MD
What we like
- Semaglutide costs $198 a month, close to the $185 median for compounded semaglutide across the sellers we compare
- The monthly price includes the medication, clinician visits and shipping
- We found no FDA warning letters issued to TeleZen MD
- A live video visit with a clinician is required before a prescription, which is slower than a form and is the more careful intake
Watch-outs
- Tirzepatide costs $298 a month, 19% above the $250 median for compounded tirzepatide across the sellers we compare
- You only see a price after finishing the medical intake, so you cannot compare costs before sharing health information
- 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
Our Verdict
Curex wins this one, 7.8 to 5.8, above all for an oral route if you will not self-inject. TeleZen MD undercuts it by $1 a month, so if the monthly bill is what decides it, TeleZen MD is the pick. TeleZen MD fits better if compounded semaglutide at $198/month is your priority.
