About Medsol RX
Compounded GLP-1 semaglutide opens at $209/mo with Medsol RX, with tirzepatide also stocked. Board-certified clinicians working through OpenLoop write the scripts, and orders go out across the country. What the plan buys beyond the drug is a dedicated care coach, a treatment plan built for you and medical oversight. HSA/FSA money qualifies, Klarna handles financing, and terms run month-to-month or across 3, 6 or 12 months. Microdosing and wellness add-ons are available.

Rixa Health bundles weight-loss medication and visits into one price and does not charge until after approval. The direct-to-consumer functional-medicine practice prescribes compounded and oral semaglutide and tirzepatide, plus other peptides, through partner US pharmacies. Board-certified DO and FNP providers take a root-cause approach and require monthly follow-ups for the first six months. It is cash-pay only and available in nearly all states, with a few listed as coming soon. Compounded, not branded, GLP-1 is the focus.

Medsol RX
What we like
- Semaglutide costs $209 a month, close to the $185 median for compounded semaglutide across the sellers we compare
- Tirzepatide costs $250 a month, close to the $250 median for compounded tirzepatide across the sellers we compare

- We found no FDA warning letters issued to Medsol RX
Watch-outs
- 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
Rixa Health
What we like
- The monthly price includes the medication and clinician visits
- Serves all 50 states
- We found no FDA warning letters issued to Rixa Health
- 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
- You only see a price after finishing the medical intake, so you cannot compare costs before sharing health information
- 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
