Nurx is an established women's telehealth brand running tiered GLP-1 weight loss programs.
Is Nurx legit?
Yes. Nurx is a real, operating US company, and we found no FDA warning letters issued to it. We rate it 4.8/10 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 Nurx promo or coupon code?
We know of no promo or coupon code for Nurx. Its listed price is $179 a month. Coupon sites advertising "Nurx discount codes" are not a source we can vouch for, and any genuine offer shows at checkout without a code.

How Nurx scores
Six columns, each one computed from something Nurx 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%
3.0/10The listed figure is not a comparable monthly price for a named GLP-1 (it may be a membership fee, an insured copay, a per-vial rate or a starting-dose price), so Value is capped rather than scored against other sellers.
Effectiveness25%
10.0/10Dispenses semaglutide and tirzepatide, compounded only. Anchored to SURMOUNT-1 (tirzepatide, -20.9%) and STEP 1 (semaglutide, -14.9%).
User Experience15%
3.0/10No 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%
0.0/10States explicitly that the price covers none of medication, consult, shipping, labs or coaching.
A seller that shows no price until after the medical intake loses points on User Experience and Trust & Safety, and its review says so. How we score →

What signing up with Nurx 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.
- 1Nurx shows a price only after you finish its medical questionnaire, so you cannot compare costs until you have shared health information.
- 2Ask Nurx which pharmacy fills the prescription before you pay. The pharmacy's name is what lets you check its license.
- Before you commit, get the ongoing monthly price of the medication itself, not a first-month rate, a membership fee or a per-vial price.
- Confirm that Nurx serves your state before you start.

Every figure here was read off Nurx'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
- We found no FDA warning letters issued to Nurx
Against it
- You only see a price after finishing the medical intake, so you cannot compare costs before sharing health information
- Not included in the monthly price: medication, clinician visits
- 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 and tirzepatide are compounded rather than FDA-approved, so they have not been reviewed by the agency for safety, effectiveness or manufacturing quality
What Nurx charges
Nurx lists $179/month.
- Compounded semaglutide: $179/month
- Compounded tirzepatide: $179/month
Bodybuilding Health+, at about $179/month, is the closest like-for-like alternative we review.
What Nurx dispenses
Nurx 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.
Safety and disclosure
Before you start an intake, ask Nurx which states it serves, which pharmacy fills its prescriptions and what the monthly price includes. We found no FDA warning letters issued to Nurx. The pharmacy question matters most here because the medication is compounded. If Nurx 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 Nurx bills your plan before you start.
Our read
Nurx charges $179/month. Too few sellers offer the same drug and form to say whether that is cheap or expensive, so judge it on what the package includes. The catch is disclosure, which is why Nurx scores low on Trust & Safety: settle the pharmacy and pricing questions above before the price decides for you.
The Bottom Line
Nurx falls below our bar on disclosure. Read the breakdown below before you give it money.
Before you pay Nurx
Starting at $179 a month. Check today's price, then start the intake.
Where Nurx 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 Sesame Care.
- If the standing monthly cost is what decides it, consider Collective (from $59/mo).
- If you want a human checking in, not just a prescription, consider ShedRx.
