$190/mo sema · $239/mo tirz · Verified August 2026
Marked down on: Compounded medications are not FDA-approved
Desk Score
InstaRX is a multi-product compounded-medication telehealth platform offering GLP-1 injections (semaglutide and tirzepatide) alongside anti-aging peptides.
From $199/mo (lowest dose rung) sema · From $199/mo (lowest dose rung) tirz · Verified July 2026
