About Iron Med RX
Create an account before you can see a price. Iron Med RX, trading as IRON RX Telehealth, also declines to list its states or identify its compounder. Based in Dallas, it sells compounded GLP-1 under licensed-provider oversight with delivery to the home, on a menu wider than most: compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide as oral tablets and as injections, plus microdosing, longevity support and supplements. Book a virtual appointment, a clinician builds the plan, the parcel follows. Its oral semaglutide carries the label 'research-grade.'

Iron Med RX
What we like
- Semaglutide costs $149 a month, 19% below the $184 median for compounded semaglutide across the sellers we compare
- The monthly price includes the medication, clinician visits, shipping and coaching
- We found no FDA warning letters issued to Iron Med RX
Watch-outs
- 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 is compounded rather than FDA-approved, so it has not been reviewed by the agency for safety, effectiveness or manufacturing quality
