Desk Score
Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide as a weekly injection or a daily tablet, six named pharmacies, all 50 states — and not one price on the public site.

Desk Score
Iron Med RX (IRON RX Telehealth) is a Dallas-based online weight-loss provider offering compounded GLP-1 with licensed-provider oversight and home delivery.
Marked down on: Prices are not shown publicly — you only see costs after creating an account, so you cannot compare value upfront
