About DrBrainRx
Whatever the dose level, a flat monthly per-vial rate buys a 4-week supply, and $25/month more covers clinical messaging, management of side effects and titration by the provider. Compounded tirzepatide and semaglutide injections come from 503B pharmacies certified to USP standards. Dr. Sara Siavoshi, holding triple board certification in Obesity Medicine, Headache Medicine and Neurology, founded the clinic as a neurologist. Visits happen online, 100% of them, and shipping is discreet across the country. LegitScript certifies it.

Plans open from $199/mo, billed month by month and cancellable whenever, and both the drug and the hardware sit inside that. HumeCare+ comes from Hume Health, the company that sells body-composition scales, and the logic follows: clinician-prescribed compounded GLP-1 semaglutide arrives with a Hume Pod, so the patient can watch whether the weight leaving is fat or muscle. Which states it serves is unpublished, and the marketing site identifies neither the prescribing medical group nor the pharmacy.

Watch-outs
- Tirzepatide costs $299 a month, 20% above the $250 median for compounded tirzepatide across the sellers we compare
- 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
