Steady-state monthly pricing never appears on the marketing home page. TeleZen MD runs entirely online, 100% so by its own description, and routes GLP-1 therapy through pharmacies inside the U.S. that are FDA-registered. Coverage is claimed for all 50 states, with the caveat, in the provider's words, 'subject to medical eligibility and state regulations.' Anyone ordering for the first time is offered $100 off with the code WELCOME100.
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 5.8/10 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 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.
Value25%
4.5/10$198/month is 7% above the $185 median for compounded semaglutide across the sellers we compare.
Effectiveness25%
10.0/10Dispenses semaglutide and tirzepatide, compounded only. Anchored to SURMOUNT-1 (tirzepatide, -20.9%) and STEP 1 (semaglutide, -14.9%).
User Experience15%
2.5/10No price appears until the medical intake is finished. A live video visit is required, which is slower but the more careful intake.
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%
7.0/10The price covers the medication, clinician visits and shipping.

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 $198, tirzepatide $298. That leaves out membership fees, first-month rates and insurance copays.
- Confirm that TeleZen MD 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.

Check the price yourself before you pay
Every figure here was read off TeleZen MD'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
- Semaglutide costs $198 a month, close to the $185 median for compounded semaglutide across the sellers we compare
- The monthly price includes the medication, clinician visits and shipping
- 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
- Tirzepatide costs $298 a month, 19% above the $250 median for compounded tirzepatide across the sellers we compare
- You only see a price after finishing the medical intake, so you cannot compare costs before sharing health information
- 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 TeleZen MD charges
TeleZen MD charges $198/month.
- Compounded semaglutide: $198/month
- Compounded tirzepatide: $298/month
For compounded semaglutide, the median across the sellers we compare is $185/month, so TeleZen MD's $198 lands mid-market. Price is unlikely to be the deciding factor.
RNK Health dispenses semaglutide and tirzepatide from $197/month, which makes it the fair comparison to run before you commit here.
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.
Safety and disclosure
Before you start an intake, ask TeleZen MD which states it serves, which pharmacy fills its prescriptions and what the monthly price includes. We found no FDA warning letters issued to TeleZen MD. The pharmacy question matters most here because the medication is compounded. If TeleZen MD 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 TeleZen MD bills your plan before you start.
Our read
TeleZen MD lands mid-market on price. 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. HumeCare+ is the nearest comparison we review, and worth reading alongside this.
The Bottom Line
TeleZen MD falls below our bar on disclosure. Read the breakdown below before you give it money.

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 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.
