AM Rx
What we like

- All four major brand-name GLP-1s available (Ozempic, Wegovy, Zepbound, Mounjaro)
- HSA and FSA accepted
- Video visits available with providers averaging 10+ years' experience
- Compounded semaglutide from $151/mo on the quarterly plan
Watch-outs
- Active FTC/DOJ lawsuit over deceptive billing and subscription practices
- Two FDA warning letters (Sept 2025, Feb 2026) for misbranding compounded GLP-1s
- Novo Nordisk false-advertising lawsuit (Aug 2025)
- Parent company Zealthy holds a BBB D- rating with 2,370+ complaints
- Trustpilot 2.0/5, with 85% one-star reviews citing billing disputes and unreachable support
- No named pharmacy partners, no LegitScript certification, and no FDA compounding disclaimer on the site
- Requires a separate recurring membership ($135/mo standard, $39 first month) on top of the medication price
Collective
What we like
- The lowest published compounded GLP-1 medication prices we track — $59/month semaglutide and $69/month tirzepatide
- Flat pricing at every dose, so titrating up does not raise the bill
- Unlimited clinician messaging and registered-dietitian access are included rather than upsold
- 21-day free trial on the membership before the annual fee is charged
Watch-outs
- The advertised $59 and $69 exclude a mandatory $199 annual membership — the real first-year cost is $907 and $1,027
- Membership fees are non-refundable and no partial-period refunds are given
- Compounding pharmacies are described only as 'independent, third-party licensed pharmacies' and are never named
- State availability is not published on the marketing site
