About CaliberRx
CaliberRx is a 100% online telehealth platform offering compounded GLP-1 weight-loss treatment — semaglutide and tirzepatide — prescribed by licensed clinicians after an online medical-history review. It runs a no-insurance, free discreet delivery model with 24/7 medical support, and publishes an unusually thorough legal and compliance suite (privacy practices, telehealth consent, state-privacy addendum, refund, billing, disclaimers). Pricing shows only after the intake quiz, compounded GLP-1s are not FDA-approved, the pharmacy is not named, and no LegitScript is displayed.

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
