Q: What does PauseRX cost?

Semaglutide: $199/mo. That is a flat month-to-month rate: $199 a month, with no plan term attached to the figure. Median semaglutide figure across this site: $190 a month, of 164 providers with a published month-to-month price and a check date. PauseRX's $199 a month sits $9 above it. Tirzepatide: $249/mo (starting dose, compounded). That is a starting figure, not the price at every dose: $249 a month is the lowest rung, and the cost rises from there. 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. All figures as published on PauseRX's own site and read in July 2026. Prices change — confirm before you order.

PauseRX is a nationwide compounded GLP-1 telehealth platform notable for its transparency: it names its 503A pharmacy partner (Strive Pharmacy in Gilbert, AZ), its physician network (Beluga Health).

What we like

Names its 503A pharmacy partner (Strive Pharmacy, Gilbert AZ) — buyers can independently verify its licensure
Names its physician network (Beluga Health) — you can research the clinical platform handling your prescriptions
Publishes the FDA compounded-medication disclaimer
Corporate legal entity disclosed (PauseRX, Inc.) — uncommon for direct-to-consumer GLP-1 platforms
Flat $199 'all doses' compounded semaglutide pricing — no per-tier escalation

Where points come off

States served not listed — site claims nationwide, but you must contact support to confirm availability
Restrictive cancellation policy — orders can't be changed or canceled once submitted, and medications can't be returned
No named medical director (Beluga Health is the network, not a named MD)
LegitScript certification number not shown — badge only, so no direct lookup
Insurance not accepted — cash-pay only; HSA/FSA eligibility not confirmed

The bottom line — C

Best for: Explicit 503A pharmacy and physician-network disclosure.
