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.'
Is Iron Med RX legit?
Yes. Iron Med RX is a real, operating US company, and we found no FDA warning letters issued to it. We rate it 6.2/10 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 an Iron Med RX promo or coupon code?
We know of no promo or coupon code for Iron Med RX. Its listed price is $149 a month. Coupon sites advertising "Iron Med RX discount codes" are not a source we can vouch for, and any genuine offer shows at checkout without a code.

How Iron Med RX scores
Six columns, each one computed from something Iron Med RX 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.
Value25%
6.6/10$149/month is 19% below the $185 median for compounded semaglutide across the sellers we compare.
Effectiveness25%
8.5/10Dispenses semaglutide, compounded only. Anchored to SURMOUNT-1 (tirzepatide, -20.9%) and STEP 1 (semaglutide, -14.9%).
User Experience15%
3.0/10No price appears until the medical intake is finished.
Trust & Safety15%
4.0/10No pharmacy is named for its prescriptions. Its price appears only after the medical intake.
Accessibility10%
5.0/10No state list is available to check, so this is held at the midpoint rather than scored on reach.
Support10%
8.5/10The price covers the medication, clinician visits, shipping and coaching.

What signing up with Iron Med RX 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.
- 1Iron Med RX shows a price only after you finish its medical questionnaire, so you cannot compare costs until you have shared health information.
- 2Ask Iron Med RX 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, shipping and coaching.
- Lowest ongoing monthly price: semaglutide $149. That leaves out membership fees, first-month rates and insurance copays.
- Confirm that Iron Med RX serves your state before you start.
- 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 was read off Iron Med RX'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 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
Against it
- 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
What Iron Med RX charges
The standing price at Iron Med RX is $149/month. That sits at the affordable end of what we see.
- Compounded semaglutide: $149/month
- Compounded semaglutide: $149/month
For compounded semaglutide, the median across the sellers we compare is $185/month, so Iron Med RX's $149 is genuinely below the middle, not just advertised that way.
Found, at about $149/month, is the closest like-for-like alternative we review.
What Iron Med RX dispenses
Iron Med RX 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. The medication is compounded rather than dispensed as an approved pen. Compounding serves real clinical needs and is entirely lawful; what it is not is reviewed, and the cost difference reflects that.
A needle-free oral option is genuinely uncommon and is the reason some readers will look at Iron Med RX at all. Set expectations on the evidence, though: the published weight-loss trials for these molecules used injections. Oral and sublingual delivery of peptides is far less studied, so treat it as a route that solves the needle problem rather than as a proven equal to the shot.
Safety and disclosure
Before you start an intake, ask Iron Med RX which states it serves, which pharmacy fills its prescriptions and what the monthly price includes. It does offer coaching as part of the plan. We found no FDA warning letters issued to Iron Med RX. The pharmacy question matters most here because the medication is compounded. If Iron Med RX will not name the pharmacy, treat that as a warning sign. How we weigh oversight, disclosure and price is set out in our scoring methodology.
Who should look elsewhere
- You want the FDA-approved pen specifically. Everything listed here is compounded.
- You need insurance to cover the cost. Check whether Iron Med RX bills your plan before you start.
It fits if
- the lowest standing monthly cost is what you are solving for
- injections are the thing keeping you from starting
- you want coaching bundled in rather than billed on top

Where Iron Med RX is the wrong choice
No seller suits every reader, and pretending otherwise is the easiest way to sell one. On these two counts, another seller does better.
- If you need the FDA-approved pen rather than a compounded vial, consider Sesame Care.
- If the standing monthly cost is what decides it, consider Collective (from $59/mo).
