AskRx Review: Price, Pros & Cons

AskRx sells brand-name GLP-1s only, and it splits your bill into two parts. The care fee is $100 a month: a $90 physician visit fee plus a $10 fulfillment fee on every order. The medication is billed on top of that at what AskRx says is its pharmacy's own cost, with no markup.

AskRx doesn't publish the medication price ahead of time. It varies by drug and dose, and you see it broken out next to the care fee before you check out. The drug is likely to be the larger part of your bill, so look at that line closely and ask what it becomes at each dose step.

It's a cash-pay membership. AskRx doesn't bill insurance, though it says the care fee may be HSA or FSA eligible. There's no commitment, and AskRx promises at least 30 days' notice before any price increase.

AskRx's physicians prescribe only FDA-approved brand-name drugs from Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly, never compounded versions. The current list is:

• Wegovy, as a weekly auto-injector or a daily tablet
• Zepbound, as a single-dose pen or a monthly KwikPen
• Foundayo (orforglipron), a once-daily tablet from Eli Lilly

You start with a quick dose check so you're routed to the right starting dose. Your physician can move you between these drugs later based on side effects, response or supply.

You're matched with a board-certified physician trained in obesity medicine. The first consultation happens by interactive messaging, and video visits are available in some states when needed. Most people finish the intake and initial consultation within 48 hours. After that, the membership covers unlimited messaging and a dose review each month.

The homepage says prescriptions are filled through an affiliated pharmacy, but the terms describe independent manufacturer or retail pharmacies. Confirm who will dispense and bill your medication before you enroll. AskRx says it serves all 50 states.

You can cancel any time from your account settings or by emailing support. Your membership stays active until the end of the billing period you've paid for, including physician messaging, and nothing more is charged after that. Active prescriptions stay valid at the pharmacy after you cancel.

Membership fees are generally non-refundable. The one opening is narrow: within 7 days of your first purchase, if you haven't had a physician consultation yet, you can ask for a refund, and AskRx decides at its discretion.
