Is TeleZen MD legit?
Yes. TeleZen MD is a real, operating US company, and we found no FDA warning letters issued to it. We rate it 6.9/10 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 TeleZen MD promo or coupon code?
TeleZen MD publishes the code WELCOME100 ($100 off your first order with code WELCOME100). You enter it at checkout on TeleZen MD's own site. Other codes for TeleZen MD circulate on coupon sites, and we cannot vouch for those.

How TeleZen MD scores
Six columns, each one computed from something TeleZen MD 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.

What signing up with TeleZen MD 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.
- 1TeleZen MD shows a price only after you finish its medical questionnaire, so you cannot compare costs until you have shared health information.
- 2The intake requires a live video visit with a clinician before a first prescription, which takes longer than a written form and is the more careful route.
- 3Ask TeleZen MD 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 shipping.
- Lowest ongoing monthly price: semaglutide $168, tirzepatide $268. That leaves out membership fees, first-month rates and insurance copays.
- TeleZen MD serves all 50 states.
- 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.

Every figure here comes from TeleZen MD's own website, as of 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 $168 a month, 16% below the $199 median for compounded semaglutide across the sellers we compare
- Tirzepatide costs $268 a month, close to the $269 median for compounded tirzepatide across the sellers we compare
- The monthly price includes the medication, clinician visits and shipping
- Serves all 50 states
- We found no FDA warning letters issued to TeleZen MD
- A live video visit with a clinician is required before a prescription, which is slower than a form and is the more careful intake
Against it
- You only see a price after finishing the medical intake, so you cannot compare costs before sharing health information
- 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 TeleZen MD charges
TeleZen MD charges $168/month. That sits at the affordable end of what we see.
- Compounded semaglutide: $168/month
- Compounded tirzepatide: $268/month
For compounded semaglutide, the median across the sellers we compare is $199/month, so TeleZen MD's $168 is genuinely below the middle, not just advertised that way. Across the compounded market the dearest tenth of sellers charges about three times what the cheapest tenth does; how much GLP-1 prices actually vary explains the spread.
MEDGm, at about $169/month, is the closest like-for-like alternative we review.
What TeleZen MD dispenses
TeleZen MD prescribes semaglutide (approved as Wegovy and Ozempic) and tirzepatide (approved as Zepbound and Mounjaro). Between them these are the pair carrying the strongest published outcome data. 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. The molecule can be the one in Ozempic and Wegovy; what differs is the formulation, the concentration and the dose ladder.
Safety and disclosure
TeleZen MD tells you that it treats patients in all 50 states. We found no FDA warning letters issued to TeleZen MD. Because the medication is compounded, the most useful question to ask at intake is which licensed pharmacy fills the prescription. If TeleZen MD will not tell you, treat that as a warning sign. A 503A pharmacy answers to a state board and a 503B facility to the FDA; which one fills it changes what you can check. How we weigh oversight, disclosure and price is set out in our scoring methodology.
TeleZen MD also sells NAD+, and a 2026 systematic review found no outcomes trials of injected NAD+ for anti-aging or wellness.
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 TeleZen MD bills your plan before you start.
It fits if
- the lowest standing monthly cost is what you are solving for
- you need access wherever you live
Our read
TeleZen MD competes on price: $168/month. The catch is disclosure, which is why TeleZen MD scores low on Trust & Safety: settle the pharmacy and pricing questions above before the price decides for you.
The Bottom Line
TeleZen MD falls below our bar on disclosure. Its compounded semaglutide costs $168 a month, 16% below the $199 median among the sellers we compare.

Where TeleZen MD 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 WellMedRx.
- If the standing monthly cost is what decides it, consider Collective (from $59/mo + membership).
- If you want a human checking in, not just a prescription, consider Eden.
If none of these fits, our guide to alternatives to TeleZen MD sets more sellers in the same category beside TeleZen MD on price, states and what the price includes.
