3 of the 8 programs below list semaglutide for less than DrBrainRx's $154 a month. 4 of the 8 list tirzepatide for less than its $274 a month.

DrBrainRx is a compounded-GLP-1 telehealth platform founded and medically directed by Dr. Sara Siavoshi, a board-certified neurologist and obesity-medicine specialist.

Best for: Shoppers who want one compounded price at every dose, pay per refill, and don't mind a $25 monthly care fee on top of the medication.

What DrBrainRx does well

  • Named, credentialed medical director (Dr. Sara Siavoshi, board-certified neurologist and obesity-medicine specialist), not an anonymous provider pool
  • One medication price at every dose ($129 semaglutide, $249 tirzepatide up to 15 mg), with no upcharge as you titrate up
  • Refills are explicitly patient-initiated and never auto-charged — a real anti-dark-pattern commitment
  • Also brokers brand-name Lilly Direct Zepbound for shoppers who want FDA-approved product on the same platform

Why readers look for an alternative

  • The $129/$249 medication prices don't include the $25 monthly care fee every compounded patient pays, so the real monthly cost is $154/$274
  • No compounding pharmacy named beyond a generic 'USP-certified pharmacies in the U.S.' reference
  • It doesn't list the states it serves, so check yours before you start
  • Its homepage and FAQ quote different Zepbound vial prices ($299 vs $349 at 2.5 mg), so confirm the figure before you order
  • No lab-testing or Certificate of Analysis disclosure beyond a generic mention that lab slips may be issued
