HealthRX sells compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide with the clinician review, the medication and overnight shipping in one cash price. Semaglutide is $99 for the first month, then $165 a month; tirzepatide is $99, then $214. Prepaid plans bring the monthly figure down to $97 and $177, charged upfront. You pay before the intake, and a decline is refunded in full. The pharmacy and any medical director go unnamed.
Is HealthRX legit?
Yes. HealthRX is a real, operating US company, and we found no FDA warning letters issued to it. Its site shows LegitScript certification. We rate it 8.2/10 overall, across six areas from price to trust and safety. Legitimate is not the same as right for you, though: that part is a decision for you and a licensed clinician.
Is there a HealthRX promo or coupon code?
HealthRX has no coupon code to enter. New patients are currently quoted $99 for the first month, then $165 a month, and the discount applies on its own. Coupon sites advertising a "HealthRX promo code" are not a source we can vouch for.

How HealthRX scores
Six columns, each one computed from something HealthRX has published rather than from an opinion we formed: what it charges, which molecules it will dispense, what its record shows, and what the monthly figure actually buys. Where a seller keeps something back, such as its price or its pharmacy, the score reflects it. Every seller we review goes through the same six columns.

What signing up with HealthRX involves
What to expect on the way to a prescription: where the price appears, who fills the medication, and what the monthly price covers. It is not medical advice, and a clinician makes the prescribing decision.
- 1HealthRX shows a price on its own site before asking anything about you, so you can compare it with other sellers before you start a questionnaire.
- 2Ask HealthRX which pharmacy fills the prescription before you pay. The pharmacy's name is what lets you check its license.
- 3The monthly price includes the medication, clinician visits and shipping.
- Lowest ongoing monthly price: semaglutide $165, tirzepatide $214. That leaves out membership fees, first-month rates and insurance copays.
- HealthRX serves all 50 states.
- The medication is compounded, so it is not an FDA-approved product and has not been reviewed by the agency for safety, effectiveness or manufacturing quality.

Check the price yourself before you pay
Every figure here comes from HealthRX's own website, as of the date shown. Sellers move prices without announcing it, and promotional rates lapse, so confirm the standing cost on their site before committing.
In its favor
- Semaglutide costs $165 a month, 17% below the $199 median for compounded semaglutide across the sellers we compare
- Tirzepatide costs $214 a month, 20% below the $269 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
- Serves all 50 states
- We found no FDA warning letters issued to HealthRX
Against it
- 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
What HealthRX charges
HealthRX advertises $99. That buys the first month. The standing rate is $165/month, and that is the one worth doing the math on, because the introductory figure applies once.
- Compounded semaglutide: $99 first month, then $165/month
- Compounded tirzepatide: $99 first month, then $214/month
For compounded tirzepatide, the median across the sellers we compare is $269/month, so HealthRX's $214 is genuinely below the middle, not just advertised that way. Before you pay, compare HealthRX's cancellation terms with other sellers' cancellation and refund policies. For scale, the dearest tenth of compounded sellers charges about three times the cheapest tenth.
MEDGm, at about $169/month, is the closest like-for-like alternative we review.
What HealthRX dispenses
HealthRX prescribes semaglutide (approved as Wegovy and Ozempic) and tirzepatide (approved as Zepbound and Mounjaro). Between them these are the two best-evidenced weight-loss molecules currently on the market. What arrives is compounded at a licensed pharmacy, not an approved pen. That is the reason it costs less, and the reason the finished preparation carries no FDA review behind it. For what differs besides the price, see compounded semaglutide vs Ozempic and Wegovy.
Safety and disclosure
HealthRX tells you its price before you start the medical questionnaire and that it treats patients in all 50 states. We found no FDA warning letters issued to HealthRX. Because the medication is compounded, the most useful question to ask at intake is which licensed pharmacy fills the prescription. If HealthRX will not tell you, treat that as a warning sign. Once you have the pharmacy's name, 503A vs 503B explains which regulator oversees it and how to check. How we weigh oversight, disclosure and price is set out in our scoring methodology.
Who should look elsewhere
- You would be choosing on the advertised figure. The introductory month is real, but it is not what you will pay in month three.
- You want the FDA-approved pen specifically. Everything listed here is compounded.
- You need insurance to cover the cost. Check whether HealthRX bills your plan before you start.
It fits if
- the lowest standing monthly cost is what you are solving for
- you want a cheap way to find out whether the medication suits you before committing
- you need access wherever you live
Our read
HealthRX is a cheap way to start and an ordinary way to continue. Use the $99 month for what it is good for, finding out whether the medication works for you, and re-run the numbers against $165/month before you let it renew twice.
The Bottom Line
HealthRX scores highest on the clinical side (which drugs it prescribes and how it doses) and lowest on follow-up care. It charges from $165 a month; its compounded tirzepatide, at $214, is 20% below the $269 median among the sellers we compare.

Where HealthRX is the wrong choice
No seller suits every reader, and pretending otherwise is the easiest way to sell one. On these three counts, another seller does better.
- If you need the FDA-approved pen rather than a compounded vial, consider WellMedRx.
- If the standing monthly cost is what decides it, consider Collective (from $59/mo + membership).
- If you want a human checking in, not just a prescription, consider Eden.
If none of these fits, our guide to alternatives to HealthRX sets more sellers in the same category beside HealthRX on price, states and what the price includes.
