The Index scorecard
altRX scored on our six Cost-Efficiency Index factors. See the methodology.
Where the value is
- Same price at every dose — titrating up does not raise the monthly cost, unlike per-mg-tiered competitors
- No membership fee, no insurance required; price stated to be all-in (consultation, dosing plan, medication, free delivery, clinician support)
- LegitScript certified
- Named physicians on staff (Dr. David Mansour, Dr. Ana Lisa Carr, Dr. Kelly Tenbrink) rather than only an anonymous provider pool
The tradeoffs
- The advertised $89/$149 prices are an explicitly time-limited promotion with a live countdown on the page — the standing price is roughly double, and a naive reading of the headline as a stable price would be wrong within about a week of this research
- No compounding pharmacy is individually named, only '503A compounding pharmacies within the altRx network'
- No states-served list is published; the only geographic detail found references special handling for California residents
- No lab testing or Certificate of Analysis disclosure found
- FDA issued Trinity HealthCare Supply, LLC dba altRx a warning letter in June 2026; the letter is public in FDA's warning-letter database
