About LunaRx
LunaRx is a bilingual (English/Spanish) telehealth practice from LunaRx LLC built around "metabolic recomposition" — compounded GLP-1 therapy paired with muscle-protective peptides and a structured off-ramp taper, rather than an indefinite prescription. Programs start at $199/month; specific tier and tirzepatide pricing are confirmed only after a physician review. Care is physician-directed through an independent medical group (CareNexus Clinic PC), with $0 charged if you are not approved. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved.

LunaRx
What we like
- Pairs GLP-1 with muscle-protective peptides (e.g., CJC-1295/Ipamorelin, NAD+) to defend lean mass during fat loss
- Structured, physician-directed off-ramp taper with GI-reset support instead of an indefinite prescription
- Bilingual care in English and Spanish across intake, messaging, and consults

Watch-outs
- Only a "from $199/mo" starting price is published; tirzepatide and per-tier pricing are confirmed only after a provider review
- Compounding pharmacy partners are not named on the site — a transparency gap
- No LegitScript or PCAB verification is displayed
- States served are not published; the site claims "telehealth nationwide" but the Terms limit service to states where LunaRx is licensed
- Compounded medications are not FDA-approved (the site discloses this)
- No refunds once medication is dispensed; order cancellations are only accepted within 24 hours
- New brand with no independent Trustpilot or third-party rating; on-site testimonials only
