Vytora Health is a 50-state-plus-DC telehealth platform offering compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide alongside brand-name Mounjaro and Zepbound, plus NAD+ and sermorelin peptides. It names its pharmacy partners publicly — Vials Pharmacy and Greenwich Biosciences — and discloses its operating physician group, uncommon transparency for the category. Compounded semaglutide runs $180/mo ($150 on a 3-month bundle) and tirzepatide $249/mo ($200 bundled).

Nova
What we like
- Every price is all-in — medication, shipping and the required Nova Care fee are in the number you see, with no separate membership line at checkout
- Three formats per molecule: weekly injection, weekly needle-free sublingual tablet, and a daily sublingual microdose
- Six compounded GLP-1 options priced $156 to $210 a month, all shown before you pay
- States its service area plainly in the footer — Texas and Florida
- iOS and Android apps for messaging your care team and tracking orders
- Free refrigerated shipping on every order and no separate consultation fee
- Discloses clearly that the FDA does not approve compounded medications
- Tells you plainly that sublingual mg are not interchangeable with injectable mg — a real safety point most sellers skip
Watch-outs
- Only available in Texas and Florida — most readers cannot buy here at all
- The two RDT tablets bundle their first months into one upfront charge: $269 for 3 months of semaglutide, $319 for 2 months of tirzepatide
- Its pricing page splits a $99 membership from medication, but checkout charges a single all-in figure, so the two do not reconcile
- The pricing page promises you are only charged if a provider prescribes, but the refund policy says membership fees are not refunded if they decline
- The refund policy still refers to patients 'located outside Texas', so it has not been updated since Florida was added
- The compounding pharmacy is described only as a state-licensed 503A facility and is never named
- Oral daily strengths are provider-selected (36 or 145 mcg) and the site does not say which you will get
Vytora Health
What we like
- All 50 states plus DC, with per-state video-vs-audio compliance disclosed
- Both compounded and brand-name options on one platform — uncommon
- LegitScript Approved and HIPAA compliant
- Pharmacy partners named publicly: Vials Pharmacy (TX) and Greenwich Biosciences
- Operating entity disclosed: Wasef Health, PC (Pinellas Park, FL)
- Competitive monthly pricing ($180 sema / $249 tirz) plus a 3-month bundle saving 17%
- Brand-name Mounjaro and Zepbound available at $1,399/mo for FDA-approved options
Watch-outs
- Brand-name Mounjaro/Zepbound at $1,399/mo is near retail — insured patients may do better via LillyDirect Self Pay ($449-$699/mo)
- Compounded tirzepatide at $249/mo is mid-market, above the $149-199 floor
- Dose tiers aren't broken out — 'all doses included' means low-dose patients pay the same as high-dose
- Initial consultation cost not shown on the public pricing page
- Limited per-prescriber state licensure detail
