DrBrainRx

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.

Reasons to consider it

  • 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

What to weigh up

  • 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
