One of the few programs whose headline is the actual monthly rate, with the prescribing physician and the dispensing pharmacy both named.
$199/mo (see conditions) sema · $269/mo (see conditions) tirz · Verified September 2026
Marked down on: A struck-through $399 sits beside the price with no published basis — Renlo never says what it was, when it applied or to whom.
Desk Score
Vitalex Health is an Atlanta-based telehealth practice offering compounded semaglutide, tirzepatide, and a lower-dose GLP-1 microdose program through partner U.S.
From $199/mo (lowest dose rung) sema · From $199/mo (lowest dose rung) tirz · Verified July 2026
Marked down on: Brands itself “physician-led” sitewide, but the only named clinician is a nurse practitioner (FNP-BC), not a physician
