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.'

Prices reach down to $147/month, insurance is unnecessary, and HSA/FSA cards are taken. TeleHealth Med, Inc. operates from Georgia, selling compounded semaglutide and compounded tirzepatide as injections and as sublinguals, written by clinicians licensed in the US and filled by 503A pharmacies. LegitScript certifies it. One unusually frank disclosure sits on the site: the testimonials shown are paid for and have not been verified.

Iron Med RX
What we like
- Semaglutide costs $149 a month, 19% below the $185 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
