5 of the 8 programs below list semaglutide for less than Apex MD's $299 a month. 6 of the 8 list tirzepatide for less than its $399 a month.

Apex MD is a nationwide telehealth platform selling compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide bundled with NAD, B-12, and L-carnitine (not single-ingredient GLP-1) at a flat $299/mo and $399/mo month-to-month respectively.

Best for: Patients who want unlimited visits and labs bundled into a flat month-to-month price and don't mind the medication being combined with NAD/B-12/L-carnitine.

What Apex MD does well

  • Genuinely all-in flat pricing: 'no other fees' across all doses, with unlimited provider visits and Labcorp labs included
  • No membership fee, no sign-up fee and no lab fee, stated plainly on the pricing page
  • Both semaglutide and tirzepatide, in injectable or daily-oral form
  • Named CMO (Dr. Jim Bowen) overseeing a stated 1,000-physician network
  • Medication delivery typically under 4 business days

Why readers look for an alternative

  • Not single-ingredient GLP-1 — every tier bundles NAD, B-12, and L-carnitine into the compound, so the $299/$399 price isn't directly comparable to a plain-semaglutide/tirzepatide competitor
  • Compounding pharmacies are never named, only described generically as 'Legit Script Certified pharmacies'
  • Among the highest per-drug prices of the compounded programs we track, though its formulas are bundled with NAD, B-12 and L-carnitine
  • Its states-served page is broken, so confirm your state is covered before you start
