About 10rx
10rx is a nationwide GLP-1 telehealth program offering compounded weight-loss medication at low flat monthly rates: semaglutide at $99.67/month and tirzepatide at $149.67/month, with NAD+ and sermorelin also offered for energy and recovery. You take a free online health quiz, a board-certified telehealth doctor reviews your history and prescribes if appropriate, and licensed pharmacy partners ship discreetly. 10rx says it ships to all 50 states, but it doesn't publish its operating company, name its pharmacies, or post a terms page.

Ascend Medical is a virtual-first whole-person primary care practice that includes a Medical Weight Loss program among its services (alongside primary care, mental health, women's and men's health, diabetes care and health coaching). It is staffed by licensed MDs, DOs, NPs and PAs. Services are currently offered only to residents of Georgia and Texas. The site markets medical weight loss and metabolic health but does not publicly list specific GLP-1 products, branded-vs-compounded status, or pricing; those details require contacting the practice. Distinct from the company Ascend Vitality.
