About Auren Rx
Auren Rx is a New York-registered telehealth brand selling compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide at $259 a month on auto-refill, plus a low-dose microdose GLP-1 track at $129, NAD+, sermorelin, glutathione, GHK-Cu, tretinoin and oral minoxidil. It is unusually specific about who provides care: the physician group Wasef Health PC under Michael Wasef MD, and Houston compounding pharmacy VialsRX, both named with addresses and phone numbers. The initial online visit is free and no membership fee is charged until a physician has reviewed you and you choose to proceed.

Semaglutide is $183/mo and tirzepatide $267/mo, with annual plans cutting cost further.

Auren Rx
What we like
- Names the prescribing group (Wasef Health PC, Michael Wasef MD) and the pharmacy (VialsRX) with full addresses and phone numbers.
- Carries a genuine LegitScript seal (ID 51130066) served from LegitScript's own asset host.
- The first online visit is free and no membership fee is charged until a physician approves and you elect to proceed.
- An "on-demand" mode lets you pause auto-payments without cancelling, rather than forcing a full cancellation.
Watch-outs
- The homepage advertises GLP-1 "from $129/mo", but that is the microdose track; the standard semaglutide and tirzepatide plan is $259-$299.
- NAD+ is advertised on the homepage "from $125/mo" while its own product page prices it at $179 on auto-refill and $209 monthly.
- At $259/mo, standard compounded GLP-1 pricing sits well above the market median for this category.
- Membership fees already paid are non-refundable, and the listed New York address is a mail suite rather than a clinic.
Elara Health and Wellness
What we like
- Corporate parent disclosed (JTE Medical, LLC) — rare transparency for a DTC GLP-1 platform
- Four named 503A pharmacy partners with city/state — among the most pharmacy-transparent providers we've reviewed
- Bundled care model: quarterly labs, physician visits, coaching, and 24/7 messaging without a membership fee
- Publishes the FDA compounded-medication disclaimer
- All 50 states plus DC, with explicit coverage language
- Substantial annual-plan savings ($792/yr semaglutide, $858/yr tirzepatide)
- Self-service cancellation on monthly and quarterly plans
Watch-outs
- LegitScript certification status not disclosed
- No named medical director or physician leadership
- Annual plan requires a 12-month commitment; early-cancellation terms not detailed
- Governing law / arbitration venue not disclosed
- 503A patient-specific compounding only — no 503B option
