Pros & Cons
24hrDOC
What we like
- Low compounded semaglutide price, around 149 per month
- Fast model: 10-minute assessment, Rx within 45 minutes
- Injectable and oral semaglutide plus tirzepatide options
- 24/7 availability with unlimited provider messaging
Watch-outs
- Compounded only, not FDA-approved branded GLP-1s
- Self-pay only, no insurance accepted
- States served not disclosed on the site
- Fast-prescribing model offers less in-depth clinical workup
Iron Med RX
What we like
- Unusually broad GLP-1 lineup — compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide in both oral tablets and injection, plus microdosing and longevity add-ons
- Online process with licensed-provider oversight, virtual consults, progress tracking and home delivery
- Oral tablet options for people who would rather not inject
Watch-outs
- Prices are not shown publicly — you only see costs after creating an account, so you cannot compare value upfront
- Labels its oral semaglutide 'research-grade' — wording usually tied to research/non-prescription peptides; confirm it is prescribed for human use
- Does not name its compounding pharmacy or list the states it serves; the listed address is a private mailbox (PMB), not a clinic
- Compounded GLP-1 only — no brand-name or insurance options; small, lightly documented operation
Our Verdict
24hrDOC edges out Iron Med RX with a higher overall score of 7.1/10 and is particularly strong for Cash-pay patients wanting fast, low-cost compounded semaglutide or tirzepatide. Iron Med RX remains a solid alternative, especially if you're looking for people who want oral or injectable compounded GLP-1 from one provider and don't mind account-gated pricing.
