2 of the 8 programs below list semaglutide for less than NuviaRx's $140 a month. 2 of the 8 list tirzepatide for less than its $170 a month.
NuviaRx is a compounded GLP-1 telehealth platform advertising semaglutide from $140/mo and tirzepatide from $170/mo, but both figures require purchasing a full annual plan upfront; no month-to-month pricing is published anywhere on the site.
Best for: Shoppers willing to prepay a full year to get the lowest 'starting' price on paper.
What NuviaRx does well
- Genuinely flat pricing across all doses within the annual plan, with consultation and monthly check-ins bundled in
- No membership fees or dose-escalation surcharges disclosed
- Free home delivery included; cancel-anytime language present despite the annual-prepay framing
- Names the doctors assigned to patients in California, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Vermont (Dr. Jeffrey Shellenberger and Dr. Marc Serota)
Why readers look for an alternative
- The advertised '$140/$170 starting' price is gated behind a full annual prepay — no month-to-month rate is published anywhere on the site, so the headline figure is not accessible the way it reads
- Names two pharmacies that may fill your prescription, Manifest Pharmacy in South Carolina and RX Compounding Store in Miami, but you don't choose which
- States served are not listed; the site only says 'Not available in all states'
- No medical director is named, and outside four states the FAQ doesn't say which doctor will treat you
