Compounded tirzepatide is priced along four dose tiers, $450 through $1,100/mo, each covering drug, supplies, labs and consultations. Semaglutide is not offered at all. Dr. Dagoberto Rodriguez, M.D. founded the practice, which works nationally by telehealth and treats hormone therapy as its core; the credentialing and the itemization are both unusual for this segment. No pharmacy partner is identified.
Is Royal Medical Center legit?
Yes. Royal Medical Center is a real, operating US company, and we found no FDA warning letters issued to it. We rate it 5.7/10 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 Royal Medical Center promo or coupon code?
We know of no promo or coupon code for Royal Medical Center. Its listed price is $450 a month. Coupon sites advertising "Royal Medical Center discount codes" are not a source we can vouch for, and any genuine offer shows at checkout without a code.

How Royal Medical Center scores
Six columns, each one computed from something Royal Medical Center 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%
0.0/10$650/month is 160% above the $250 median for compounded tirzepatide across the sellers we compare.
Effectiveness25%
10.0/10Dispenses tirzepatide, compounded only. Anchored to SURMOUNT-1 (tirzepatide, -20.9%) and STEP 1 (semaglutide, -14.9%).
User Experience15%
7.5/10A price is shown before the questionnaire starts. Baseline bloodwork is required before a prescription.
Trust & Safety15%
5.5/10No pharmacy is named for its prescriptions. It shows a price before asking for health information.
Accessibility10%
5.0/10No state list is available to check, so this is held at the midpoint rather than scored on reach.
Support10%
7.0/10The price covers the medication, clinician visits and lab work.
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 Royal Medical Center 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.
- 1Royal Medical Center shows a price on its own site before asking anything about you, so you can compare it with other sellers before you start a questionnaire.
- 2The intake requires baseline bloodwork before a first prescription, which takes longer than a written form and is the more careful route.
- 3Ask Royal Medical Center which pharmacy fills the prescription before you pay. The pharmacy's name is what lets you check its license.
- 4The monthly price includes the medication, clinician visits and lab work.
- Lowest ongoing monthly price: tirzepatide $650. That leaves out membership fees, first-month rates and insurance copays.
- Confirm that Royal Medical Center 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.

Pricing
Prices re-verified
Check the price yourself before you pay
Every figure here was read off Royal Medical Center'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
- Shows its price before the medical questionnaire, so you can compare it without handing over health information
- The monthly price includes the medication, clinician visits and lab work
- We found no FDA warning letters issued to Royal Medical Center
- Baseline bloodwork is required before a prescription
Against it
- Tirzepatide costs $650 a month, 160% above the $250 median for compounded tirzepatide across the sellers we compare
- 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 tirzepatide is compounded rather than FDA-approved, so it has not been reviewed by the agency for safety, effectiveness or manufacturing quality
What Royal Medical Center charges
Royal Medical Center charges $450/month.
- Tirzepatide: $450/month
- Tirzepatide: $650/month
- Tirzepatide: $800/month
- Tirzepatide: $1,100/month
For compounded tirzepatide, the median across the sellers we compare is $250/month, so Royal Medical Center's $650 is a premium, and a premium has to buy something. Check what is bundled before you accept it.
Willow dispenses tirzepatide from $299/month, which makes it the fair comparison to run before you commit here.
What Royal Medical Center dispenses
Royal Medical Center prescribes tirzepatide (approved as Zepbound and Mounjaro). That is one of the most heavily studied molecules in this class.
Safety and disclosure
Royal Medical Center tells you its price before you start the medical questionnaire. We found no FDA warning letters issued to Royal Medical Center. How we weigh oversight, disclosure and price is set out in our scoring methodology.
Who should look elsewhere
- You care most about the twelve-month total, not the first bill. A flat-rate seller such as Collective will usually win that math.
- You need insurance to cover the cost. Check whether Royal Medical Center bills your plan before you start.
Our read
Royal Medical Center 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. The catch is disclosure, which is why Royal Medical Center scores low on Trust & Safety: settle the pharmacy and pricing questions above before the price decides for you.
The Bottom Line
Royal Medical Center falls below our bar on disclosure. Read the breakdown below before you give it money.
Before you pay Royal Medical Center
Starting at $450 a month. Check today's price, then start the intake.
Where Royal Medical Center 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.
