YourHealthRx
Cost-first shoppers who want science-forward GLP-1 and peptide care, flat-rate dosing, built-in follow-up.
Visit YourHealthRxAskRx
Patients who specifically want FDA-approved branded Wegovy/Zepbound/Foundayo and don't need to see the drug price before starting intake.
Visit AskRxThe verdict
YourHealthRx takes it, leading the Cost-Efficiency Index 60 to 59. YourHealthRx is a scientist-founded peptide and GLP-1 telehealth platform available in all 50 states and DC via a multi-state (IMLC) clinician network. AskRx still earns a C — Patients who specifically want FDA-approved branded Wegovy/Zepbound/Foundayo and don't need to see the drug price before starting intake.

YourHealthRx
60/100Where the value is
- Available in all 50 states and DC through a multi-state (IMLC) licensed clinician network
- Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide in two formats - weekly injectable (with B12) or daily oral dissolving tablet
- Flat subscription price that doesn't change as your dose increases (no titration penalty)
The tradeoffs
- Eligibility and prescribing run through partner clinical workflows - YourHealthRx is the platform, not the prescriber or pharmacy
- Compounded medications are not FDA-approved - not brand Wegovy, Ozempic, Zepbound, or Mounjaro
AskRx
59/100Where the value is
- Sells only FDA-approved branded medication ('never compounded'), removing compounding-related sourcing questions entirely
- States a clear, itemized flat care fee ($90 visit + $10 fulfillment = $100/mo) rather than folding an undisclosed markup into the drug price
- Explicitly states no markup is added to the medication's pharmacy cost
The tradeoffs
- The actual medication price — the majority of the real monthly cost for a brand-name GLP-1 — is never published; it's shown only at checkout after intake, so the site cannot be used to comparison-shop the true total cost
- Live video visits are limited to 'select states' despite the blanket '50 States' coverage claim, an inconsistency the site doesn't reconcile
