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 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%
3.0/10On the seller's own pages, no price appears until the medical intake is finished.
Trust & Safety15%
4.0/10does not name a dispensing pharmacy; withholds price until after the intake. Our verification confidence is medium.
Accessibility10%
5.0/10Publishes no list of states served, so coverage cannot be confirmed either way. Capped at the midpoint — this measures disclosure, not reach.
Support10%
0.0/10States explicitly that the price covers none of medication, consult, shipping, labs or coaching.
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 Nurx 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.
- 1Nurx 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.
- 3Nurx 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.
- 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.
- No state list is published, so whether Nurx serves your state cannot be confirmed from its site.
GLP-1 medications Nurx offers
Each one has its own guide: how the molecule works, the dosing schedule, the side effects that show up in practice, and what the trials actually measured.

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
- 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
- Billed separately from the monthly figure: medication, consult
- No state list is on record here, so whether it serves your state cannot be confirmed from this page
- 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 Nurx charges
Nurx lists $179/month.
- Compounded semaglutide — $179/month
- Compounded tirzepatide — $179/month
The median across the GLP-1 providers we track is about $169/month, so this lands mid-market — close enough that the deciding factor is unlikely to be price.
Found dispenses semaglutide and tirzepatide from $149/month, which makes it the honest comparison to run before committing here.
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.
What we could verify
Nurx publishes little that can be checked from outside an intake. 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.
Our read
Nurx lands mid-market on price without a standout advantage or an obvious problem. It comes down to whether its particular package fits. Breeze Meds is the nearest comparison we track, and worth reading alongside this.

Where Nurx 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.
