About Rixa Health
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.

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
WeightCare
What we like
- Tirzepatide costs $275 a month, close to the $250 median for compounded tirzepatide across the sellers we compare
- Shows its price before the medical questionnaire, so you can compare it without handing over health information
- The monthly price includes the medication, clinician visits and shipping
Watch-outs
- Semaglutide costs $215 a month, 16% above the $185 median for compounded semaglutide 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
- The FDA has issued WeightCare a warning letter. Read what it alleges: a letter flags a problem but does not by itself rule a seller out
- 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 undercuts it by $3.02 a month, so if the monthly bill is what decides it, Rixa Health is the pick.
