Nurx, a Thirty Madison company, is an established telehealth brand that connects patients to prescriptions for brand-name GLP-1s (Wegovy, Zepbound, Ozempic, Mounjaro, Saxenda, Victoza) filled at the patient's own local pharmacy.

Best for: Shoppers who specifically want FDA-approved brand-name Wegovy/Zepbound access through an established telehealth brand and don't want a compounded product.

What Nurx does well

  • Prescribes brand-name GLP-1 injections when clinically appropriate
  • Insurance assistance and regular provider check-ins
  • Patients choose their local pharmacy
  • Also offers non-GLP-1 oral weight medications at $60–$329 monthly cash prices

Why readers look for an alternative

  • Pharmacy prices are estimates; your pharmacy and insurance determine the actual medication charge
  • Add $79 monthly provider support for ongoing care and a separate $79 initial consultation
  • No compounded GLP-1 treatment or oral GLP-1 product is listed
  • Weight-management services are not offered in every state; confirm your location before paying
