Texas and nowhere else. MedLeanRx works out of Spring, TX with physicians guiding care, charging $149/month for compounded semaglutide, taken as a weekly shot or a daily oral tablet, and $269/month for compounded tirzepatide. A brand route also exists at a $99/month fee covering Wegovy, Zepbound and Foundayo (orforglipron), with the drug itself billed on its own. Fill in a 5-minute assessment, wait 24-48 hours for a physician to read it, then delivery follows free on plans you can cancel whenever.

How MedLeanRx scores
Six columns, each one computed from something MedLeanRx 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%
3.0/10The figures published here are not comparable monthly cash prices for the medication — an insured copay, a per-vial rate, a membership fee or a starting-dose teaser. Capped rather than scored against the register.
Effectiveness25%
10.0/10Dispenses semaglutide and tirzepatide, compounded only. Anchored to SURMOUNT-1 (tirzepatide, -20.9%) and STEP 1 (semaglutide, -14.9%).
User Experience15%
8.0/10On the seller's own pages, a price is published before the questionnaire starts.
Trust & Safety15%
7.5/10does not name a dispensing pharmacy; shows a price before asking for health information; publishes its state list. Our verification confidence is medium.
Accessibility10%
2.2/10Publishes coverage in 1 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 MedLeanRx 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.
- 1MedLeanRx publishes a price on its own site before asking anything about you. You can compare it against this register without starting a questionnaire.
- 2The intake is a written questionnaire. No live video visit or baseline bloodwork is recorded as required.
- 3MedLeanRx 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.
- No comparable monthly cash price for the medication is on record — either nothing is published, or what is published is a fee, an insured copay or a per-vial rate rather than a monthly cost.
- Coverage is published for 1 of 50 states.
GLP-1 medications MedLeanRx offers

Check the price yourself before you pay
Every figure here was read off MedLeanRx'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
- Publishes a price on its own site before the medical questionnaire, so it can be compared without handing over health information
- The monthly figure covers medication, consult, shipping
- No FDA warning letter matched this operator when we searched our enforcement register
Against it
- Coverage is published for 1 states only, so this may not reach you
- 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 MedLeanRx charges
MedLeanRx charges $149/month. That sits at the affordable end of what we track.
- Compounded semaglutide — $149/month
- Oral semaglutide — $149/month
- Compounded tirzepatide — $163 first month, then $269/month
Across the GLP-1 providers in our register the median standing price is about $169/month, so MedLeanRx is genuinely under the middle rather than merely advertising that it is.
Found, at about $149/month, is the closest thing we track to a like-for-like alternative.
What MedLeanRx dispenses
MedLeanRx 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.
A needle-free oral option is genuinely uncommon and is the reason some readers will look at MedLeanRx 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 demonstrated equal to the shot.
What we could verify
On the record: it operates in 1 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 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
- the lowest standing monthly cost is what you are solving for
- injections are the thing keeping you from starting
Our read
MedLeanRx competes on price and does it without an obvious sacrifice elsewhere: $149/month, no warning letter on file, and access that is not unusually restricted.
The Bottom Line
MedLeanRx's strongest column is the clinical side — which molecules it will prescribe, and how it handles dosing.

Where MedLeanRx 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.
