#49 of 54
5.2/10

HealthRX is a cash-pay telehealth platform for compounded injectable semaglutide and tirzepatide. Its July 2026 landing page lists semaglutide at $133/mo on a 3-month plan or $99/mo on a 12-month plan, plus tirzepatide at $209/mo or $179/mo. Prices stay flat across doses and include clinician review, dose adjustments, and overnight shipping. MD Integrations supplies the clinician network, while the dispensing 503A pharmacy remains unnamed on the public site.

Telos RX

#51 of 54
4.9/10

Telos RX rebuilt itself between our July and August 2026 checks, from a four-SKU compounded GLP-1 storefront into a multi-category telehealth platform covering weight loss, longevity, recovery and sexual health. On the GLP-1 side it prescribes compounded tirzepatide, semaglutide, oral (under-the-tongue) tirzepatide formulated with ondansetron, and a microdosed tirzepatide tier. It says medication pricing does not rise with clinician-directed titration, a physician typically reviews intake within four hours, and clinical messaging is unlimited and 24/7. But the August 1 terms say consultations and ordered labs may be charged separately, including after a prescription-ineligible decision, so the $99 floor is not a verified all-in total. Prescriptions run through Arora Health Group and named pharmacies; the operating entity is Superior Health Solutions LLC.

Pros & Cons Compared

HealthRX

Pros

  • +$99/mo compounded semaglutide on the 12-month plan, with a $133/mo 3-month option
  • +Flat pricing across doses, clinician review, dose adjustments, and overnight shipping included
  • +Licensed clinicians in all 50 states through MD Integrations, with most files reviewed within about 24 hours
  • +LegitScript certificate 50087439 links to the issuer's verification checker
  • +Single-click account cancellation and refunds for unshipped doses
  • +Published HIPAA notice, telehealth consent, safety information, and emergency instructions

Cons

  • The dispensing 503A pharmacy is described by type while its name and license remain absent from the public site
  • Legal entity, headquarters, executive team, and medical director remain undisclosed
  • The tirzepatide product page advertises $149/mo while the current affiliate landing and FAQ say $179/mo, so confirm the checkout rate
  • The 4.8/5 from 12,000+ members block uses illustrative composites rather than an independent review platform
  • Cash-pay only, with no insurance billing or prior-authorization support
  • Compounded medications sit outside FDA premarket approval as finished products

Telos RX

Pros

  • +Flat pricing that does not increase as your dose is titrated, which is the opposite of how most compounded programs bill
  • +A physician typically reviews the intake within four hours, and labs can be ordered when clinically appropriate
  • +24/7 unlimited messaging with the clinical team, published as a standing commitment rather than a business-hours window
  • +Both pharmacies are named with full addresses: VialsRX at 6220 Westpark Dr, Houston TX 77057, and F&F Pharmacies Inc dba Jungle Jim's Pharmacy. Most competitors name none
  • +Oral tirzepatide comes formulated with ondansetron, an anti-nausea medication, built into the same dose rather than sold as a separate add-on
  • +Four GLP-1 formats including a needle-free daily option and a microdose tier, plus free 48-hour shipping and FSA/HSA eligibility on every plan
  • +One care team across metabolic, longevity, recovery and sexual health, so a patient who starts on a GLP-1 does not need a second provider later

Cons

  • 'Cancel anytime, no penalties' on the product pages is contradicted by the terms. Cancel a multi-month plan early and the months you already used are re-rated to the shortest plan that covers them, and you are billed the difference as a one-time charge. Their own worked example: leave a 12-month plan after three months and you are re-rated to the 3-month price
  • The plan pricing that used to be fully public is now behind intake. The page shows 'as low as $99' against a struck-through $299, says your price depends on plan length, and exposes no plan selector. The month-to-month rate is not published anywhere
  • The August 1 terms say consultations and ordered labs may be separately payable. Those charges may remain due even when a clinician decides you are not eligible for a prescription, so the medication floor is not an all-in quote
  • LegitScript certification is claimed 22 times across the site, including in the footer trust bar, but a search of LegitScript's own registry for telosrx returned no matching record on August 12, 2026
  • The homepage advertises 'Trustpilot Rated 4.9'. The actual Trustpilot profile is 4.4 from 11 reviews. The direction of the gap is small but it is the second time we have caught this same overstatement on this site
  • Fees already paid are non-refundable and dispensed medication cannot be returned, exchanged or credited, including an unopened subscription cycle that has already shipped
  • Availability is still unresolved. Marketing implies broad access; the terms say only that 'certain of our Services are currently only available to individuals located in certain states', with no list
  • No individual clinician is named anywhere. 'Board-certified medical team' is as specific as it gets, and prescriptions route through Arora Health Group with no named medical director
  • Shares the Arora Health Group medical group with Trimi Health, a white-label backend relationship neither brand discloses on its own site

Our Verdict

HealthRX edges out Telos RX with a score of 5.2/10 vs 4.9/10. Published pricing is not a like-for-like monthly comparison: HealthRX is from $99/mo; Telos RX is published $99/mo; total not verified.
