Provider review
altRx review
The featured "$89/mo" is a live promo — the real rate beside it is $199/mo.
altRx's own product page shows "Starting at $199/mo $89/mo" on the same card, and its own coupon-code system templates "$89/mo on your first month" — the lower figure is a dated, on-page promotion, not the standing rate.

This review's stake, stated plainly — some of the outbound links on this site are affiliate links; start a program through one and we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Straight about the rest, too: the write-ups say what each provider is actually worth, and a commission does not change a word of them. Full disclosure here.

What it actually costs
What they advertise
altRx's own JSON-LD description and homepage banner state: "Compounded semaglutide from $89/mo, tirzepatide from $149/mo" — "SAME PRICE EVERY MONTH! STARTING at GLP-1: $89 | GLP-1 + GIP: $149. OFFER ENDS AUGUST 5TH AT MIDNIGHT!"
What you actually pay, month to month
The same product cards show a struck-through reference price directly beside the promo: "GLP-1 ... Starting at $199/mo $89/mo" and "GLP-1 + GIP ... Starting at $299/mo $149/mo" — and altRx's own coupon-code template literally reads, "$89/mo on your first month," confirming the lower figure is temporary.
The commitment trap
The featured "$89/$149" figures are a live, dated promotion ("OFFER ENDS AUGUST 5TH AT MIDNIGHT"), not the standing rate — the same product cards show the real "Starting at" price, $199/$299, struck through directly beside them, and altRx's own coupon-code system independently confirms the lower number is first-month-specific.
Money you will meet later
- altRx's own Terms of Service state that the checkout presents "a single total subscription price" inclusive of consultation and platform fees, rather than itemizing them separately.
Checked live on altRx's own site at https://altrx.com/ in August 2026. Prices change without notice — confirm before you buy. Every figure here was read off altRx's own public pages on the date shown, not from a third-party comparison table.
The bottom line
altRx (altrx.com) is a real, live telehealth platform selling compounded semaglutide and compounded tirzepatide, with a genuine company-wide 503A claim and a specific 48-hour cancellation window. The gap is pricing: the featured "$89/$149" figures sit beside struck-through "$199/$299" reference prices on the same product cards, and a sitewide banner ties the lower price to an explicit end date — this is a live promotion presented as if it were the everyday rate.
altRx appears on our tirzepatide provider ranking and our semaglutide provider ranking. Nothing on this page is a performance claim.
Who it is for, and who it is not
A good fit if
- You want a company-wide, unhedged 503A claim stated directly in the Terms of Service.
- You want a specific, dated cancellation window (48 hours before the next billing date) rather than a vague policy.
- You're comfortable paying the real "Starting at" rate ($199-299/mo) rather than expecting the promotional headline to hold.
Look elsewhere if
- You're budgeting around the "$89/mo" or "$149/mo" headline figures — the same product cards show these struck through against $199/$299 as the "Starting at" reference rate.
- You want a specific pharmacy named — altRx states only a company-wide category claim for its unnamed "pharmacy network."
- You want sermorelin — none was found anywhere on the site.
What is included
The cheapest headline number in this category is often the one with the least attached to it. Here is what altRx bundles in, and what it does not.
Clinician consult
Included
— a licensed provider consultation is required before a prescription is issued, per its own Terms of Service.
Bloodwork / labs
Not stated on the pages checked.
Follow-ups and dose changes
Not itemized on the pages checked.
Human support
No dietitian, nurse, or structured coaching program is named…
anywhere on the site.
Injection supplies
Not itemized beyond the medication itself on the pages checked.
Shipping
"Free doctor consultation and home delivery," per its own page…
metadata — no separate shipping fee mentioned.
Who fills it, and who's watching
The pharmacy
A company-wide, unhedged 503A claim with no single pharmacy named. Its own Terms of Service state directly, "Prescriptions are filled by independently owned and operated state-licensed 503A compounding pharmacies within the altRx pharmacy network."
Oversight
Included — a licensed provider consultation is required before a prescription is issued, per its own Terms of Service. Not itemized on the pages checked.
Compounded peptides are not FDA-approved products, and a 503A pharmacy compounds for a named patient while a 503B outsourcing facility manufactures in batches under CGMP. Neither is a quality guarantee on its own — a named facility is simply a fact you can check, and an unnamed “partner pharmacy network” is not.
Where you can get it
Not independently confirmed. Its own Terms of Service state only "licensed in your state of residence" — no explicit list of covered or excluded states was found.
The honest cons
The part they would rather you skipped
altRx's own product cards present a dated, live promotion ("$89/mo," ending on a specific stated date) directly beside the real "Starting at" reference rate ($199/mo) struck through on the same card — and its own coupon-code system independently confirms the lower figure applies to the first month only, not the standing rate a reader would actually pay from month two onward.
- The real "Starting at" rate ($199/$299 per month) is more than double the featured promotional price shown first.
- No specific pharmacy is named anywhere — only a company-wide category claim.
- No explicit states-served or states-excluded list was found on the pages checked.
None of this is unique to altRx — the whole category shares it.
How it compares
The providers we rank on our semaglutide provider ranking — the most specific board altRx sits on — in the order that board ranks them. It sells into other categories too; see the boards listed above under the bottom line.
- CBCare Bare RxNames both compounds directly — but two of its four pharmacies carry FDA letters.
- TRTelos RxA specific, sourced state-exclusion list — next to an unconfirmed "compare" price.
- BMBreeze MedsNames the specific compound in its own nav menu — pricing is quiz-gated.
- TRTrimiNames two 503A pharmacies directly, undercut by an annual-prepay headline.
- OAOakA flat, no-subscription price — but no pharmacy is named anywhere on the site.
- Strut HealthAn FDA warning letter over labeling, plus an auto-refill price on every product.
- MAMangoRxA flat, "price locked in" semaglutide product — its pharmacy is described, not named.
- GHGala HealthAdvertises the same $179 promo price for two different drugs.

Read this before you buy
A provider comparison is half the decision. The other half is whether the compound does anything for you at all — and whether it is allowed where you compete. Growth-hormone secretagogues are banned in tested sport, year-round, and a prescription does not change that.
