A single figure is public: $199 to 'Get Started' at intake. Beyond that, InstaRX bundles several compounded lines onto one account, GLP-1 injections of semaglutide and tirzepatide next to anti-aging peptides, NAD+, Sermorelin and B12/MIC, and sexual-health treatments. Dr Telx, an independent provider group, supplies the clinical side; its physicians hold licenses in all 50 states and DC.

How InstaRX scores
Six columns, each one computed from something InstaRX 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 it publishes nothing, that absence is what gets scored. Every seller in the register goes through the same six columns.
Value25%
7.1/10$199/month is 25% below the register median of $267 for compounded tirzepatide.
Effectiveness25%
10.0/10Dispenses semaglutide and tirzepatide, compounded only. Anchored to SURMOUNT-1 (tirzepatide, -20.9%) and STEP 1 (semaglutide, -14.9%).
User Experience15%
3.0/10On the seller's own pages, no price appears until the medical intake is finished.
Trust & Safety15%
5.0/10does not name a dispensing pharmacy; withholds price until after the intake; publishes its state list. Our verification confidence is medium.
Accessibility10%
10.0/10Publishes coverage in 51 of 50 states.
Support10%
7.0/10The price covers medication, consult, shipping.
A seller that will not show a price before an intake loses points on Value and carries that note in its review. Withholding the number is itself a finding. How we score →

What signing up with InstaRX involves
Assembled from this seller’s entry in the register — the price record, the state list, the dispensing pharmacy where one is named, and what the monthly figure covers. It describes what a reader can expect to meet on the way to a prescription, and what is missing from the seller’s own disclosures. It is not a clinical judgment and not a prescribing decision.
- 1InstaRX does not show a price until you have worked through its medical questionnaire. Budget for the fact that you cannot compare it against anything until you have handed over health information.
- 2The intake is a written questionnaire. No live video visit or baseline bloodwork is recorded as required.
- 3InstaRX does not say which pharmacy dispenses the medication. That is common here and it means you cannot check the pharmacy's record before you buy.
- 4The monthly price is recorded as covering medication, consult, shipping.
- Cheapest standing monthly prices on record: semaglutide $199, tirzepatide $199. Membership fees, first-month rates and insured copays are excluded from those figures.
- Coverage is published for 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.

Every figure here was read off InstaRX's own checkout on 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 at $199 a month, within the normal band around this register's $189 median for the same drug and form
- The monthly price is recorded as flat across doses, so it does not climb as the dose is titrated up
- The monthly figure covers medication, consult, shipping
- Coverage is published for all 50 states
- No FDA warning letter matched this operator when we searched our enforcement register
Against it
- No price appears until the medical intake is complete, so the cost cannot be compared before health information is submitted
- No dispensing pharmacy is named in our record, so its accreditation cannot be looked up from here
- 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 InstaRX charges
InstaRX lists $199/month, flat regardless of dose. That sits above the middle of the market, which puts the burden on whatever else is in the package. Flat dose pricing matters more than it reads: on a tiered plan the bill grows as the dose does, which means the figure that persuaded you to sign up is not the figure you end up living with.
- Compounded semaglutide — $199/month
- Compounded tirzepatide — $199/month
The median standing price across the GLP-1 providers we track is about $169/month, so this is a premium, and a premium has to buy something. Check what is bundled before accepting it.
Found dispenses semaglutide and tirzepatide from $149/month, which makes it the honest comparison to run before committing here.
What InstaRX dispenses
InstaRX 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. These are compounded preparations from a licensed pharmacy rather than approved pens, which is where the lower price comes from. A compounded drug is not FDA-approved as a finished product — the specific preparation has not been reviewed for safety, efficacy or manufacturing quality.
What we could verify
On the record: it treats patients in all 50 states. We searched the federal warning-letter record for this operator and came back with nothing. Because the medication is compounded and no dispensing pharmacy is named publicly, the single most useful question to ask at intake is which licensed pharmacy fills the prescription. A seller that will not answer that has told you something. How we weigh oversight, disclosure and price evidence is set out in our scoring methodology.
Who should look elsewhere
- You are optimizing for the twelve-month total rather than the first bill — a flat-rate seller such as CoreAge Rx will usually win that arithmetic.
- You want the FDA-approved pen specifically. Nothing here is the approved finished product.
- You need to bill insurance. Like most of this market, this is cash-pay.
It fits if
- you want the price to stop moving as your dose climbs
- you need access regardless of where you live
Our read
InstaRX costs more than the middle of this market. If the extras it charges for are ones you would actually use, that is a defensible trade. If not, the same molecule is available for less. Breeze Meds is the nearest comparison we track, and worth reading alongside this.

Where InstaRX is the wrong choice
No seller in this register suits every reader, and saying otherwise would be the easiest way to sell one. On these four counts another entry does better.
