Onyx Weight Loss
What we like
- Competitive entry pricing: semaglutide from $228/mo and tirzepatide from $280/mo with medication + supplies included
- Nurse-practitioner-led care: founder Tasha Vangile FNP-C (20+ years) and Stephanie Robison APRN-CNP (27 years experience)
- Low-cost $99/mo GLP-1 microdosing option for patients who prefer a gradual titration start
- Strive Pharmacy partnership implies compounded 503A-quality supply chain from a known pharmacy
- Multi-modal clinic: GLP-1 + peptides + HRT + nutrition coaching available under one provider team
Watch-outs
- Only 8 states (NC, CO, ME, VT, VA, IA, NH, PA) — excludes the majority of the US
- No LegitScript certification; credentialing evidence limited to local 2025 Best of Iredell award
- Specific drug names (semaglutide/tirzepatide) never stated on website; compounded status inferred, not disclosed
- Labs not included or mentioned; no baseline bloodwork protocol published
- Pricing shown as 'Starting at' with no dose-escalation tier pricing disclosed publicly
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
