- AskRx publishes a LegitScript certification on its own pages.
- Where it ships
- All 50 states, as published on the site.
- Last checked
- June 2026, against AskRx's own pages.
- Published price
- AskRx publishes a figure for semaglutide and tirzepatide — the qualifiers are in "What does AskRx cost?" below.

- Licensing & trust
- 86/100 on the scored dimension of that name — one of the six in our published methodology.
Checks out as far as the figures go, with one caveat: every price AskRx publishes carries a condition, so the number on the site is not the monthly bill.
What does AskRx cost?
Each figure exactly as AskRx publishes it, with the condition attached to it spelled out.
Semaglutide
$349/mo (all doses, brand-name)
That is the FDA-approved brand product at $349 a month, which is a different medicine from compounded semaglutide at a different price.
Because that figure carries a condition, it is held out of our "cheapest" rankings and out of the median we compute for semaglutide — only flat month-to-month rates compete there.
Tirzepatide
$299/mo (2.5 mg dose, brand-name)
That is the FDA-approved brand product at $299 a month, which is a different medicine from compounded tirzepatide at a different price.
Because that figure carries a condition, it is held out of our "cheapest" rankings and out of the median we compute for tirzepatide — only flat month-to-month rates compete there.
