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
Synergy Rx
What we like
- Broad catalog: compounded sema/tirz in injection and oral dissolving tablet, plus brand Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro
- Claims 50,000+ patients as of late 2025
- Available in all 50 states, subject to state telehealth rules
- Same medical team as Breeze Meds and Care Bare Rx (Dr. Carr and Dr. Tenbrink via Lion MD)
- Four named 503A pharmacy partners (Belmar, Strive, Epiq Scripts, Casa Pharma Rx)
- LegitScript Certified
Watch-outs
- Same clinician network and pharmacies as Breeze Meds and Care Bare Rx — three brands on one underlying operation
- Mandatory individual arbitration + class-action waiver (30-day opt-out from signup)
- Consultation fees non-refundable and all prescription sales final
- Disclaims liability for third-party pharmacy medication quality
- Full active-state list requires contacting support, not published
- Correct site is synergyrx.co — synergyrx.com is an unrelated parked domain
