Who PrescribedRX may suit

Shoppers who want flat, dose-independent pricing and are also interested in bundling TRT or hair loss treatment on the same platform.

Where the value is

  • Same price at every dose for both drugs
  • Both compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide offered, with medication, supplies and shipping in one price and no membership fee
  • Named clinicians: Dr. Takashi Nakamura (chief medical officer) and Dr. Laurie J. Mercier (medical director)
  • LegitScript certified
  • Full refund, no fees deducted, if a provider decides treatment isn't right for you

The tradeoffs

  • The only plan is a 3-month supply paid upfront, and it renews every 10 weeks, not every 3 months, so a year is about five charges ($2,184 for semaglutide, $3,104 for tirzepatide)
  • Plan cards advertise '$140/mo' and '$199/mo', which only holds if a charge really covered three months
  • Once a plan renews, that charge isn't refundable
  • No compounding pharmacy is named
  • Not available in every state, and no list of states is published

How PrescribedRX bills

PrescribedRX sells compounded semaglutide and compounded tirzepatide as weekly injections, each on a single three-month plan paid upfront. The price is the same at every dose, and tirzepatide costs more than semaglutide. The semaglutide plan is sold as two months plus one free.

The detail to note is the renewal timing. The plan cards say you're billed every three months, but PrescribedRX's purchase terms say three-month subscriptions renew every ten weeks, and its homepage lists the charge as "every 10 weeks." Over a year, that's roughly five charges, not four. Ask support to confirm your renewal date at checkout and put it in your calendar.

Each plan includes a three-month supply of medication, needles, syringes and alcohol swabs, dose changes set by your provider, free priority shipping in plain packaging, and messaging with the care team through the patient portal. There's no membership fee and no insurance. You can split a charge with Affirm, Klarna or Shop Pay.

Considering PrescribedRX?

Check the plan total, billing period and cancellation terms before you enroll. A clinician decides whether treatment is appropriate.

Who's involved

PrescribedRX is a marketing and patient-management platform, not a medical practice or pharmacy. Prescriptions come from licensed providers in a third-party medical group. PrescribedRX names its clinicians: Dr. Takashi Nakamura, a board-certified emergency physician, is chief medical officer, and Dr. Laurie J. Mercier, a family physician with more than 30 years of practice, is medical director. The pharmacy isn't named. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved.

You pay at checkout, then answer a short intake. A provider reviews it within 48 hours, usually the same day, and no bloodwork is needed unless your history calls for it. If treatment isn't appropriate, you get a full refund with no fees deducted. Medication may come as a pen or a vial, depending on what the pharmacy has for your dose. PrescribedRX doesn't serve every state, and the eligibility check confirms yours before you pay.

Cancellation and refund rules

  • Before your consultation starts: cancel in writing by email and you may get a full refund, though PrescribedRX can keep an administrative fee of up to $99.
  • After a prescription is issued: the order goes to the pharmacy and is final, whether or not it has shipped.
  • Renewals: cancel before the next renewal date. Once a plan renews, that charge isn't refundable.
  • Changing a prescription after it's sent: a reprocessing fee of up to $150 may apply. The same fee applies to reshipping an order sent to a wrong address you entered.
  • Damaged or wrong product: report it within seven days of delivery for a free replacement.

The terms also allow minimum commitments on some therapies, during which you're charged even if you stop shipments. Ask whether your plan carries one.

Worth knowing

PrescribedRX also sells testosterone, sexual health, hair loss and longevity treatments under the same account. Its plans include a lower maintenance dose once you reach your goal, managed by your provider. If you're new to GLP-1s, PrescribedRX itself suggests starting on semaglutide and moving to tirzepatide only if needed.
