About EdgeRx
Nothing can be bought yet. Prices and descriptions for both GLP-1 injections are up, but the protocols sit behind a waitlist and checkout has not opened for any of them. Strive Pharmacy, the sole 503A compounder named, makes the Tirzepatide and Semaglutide shots, each formulated with B12 and glycine to preserve muscle. Sexual health, hair, cognition and recovery form four further outcome categories at EdgeRx Health, LLC. Physician review is priced in, payment is cash, and Truemed carries HSA/FSA.
