PlexusDx publishes this comparison and is one of the providers discussed. We use the same evidence rules for our own program and competing programs.

Compounded medication disclosure: Compounded medications are not FDA-approved. FDA does not review compounded drugs before marketing for safety, effectiveness, or quality. PlexusDx works with licensed 503A compounding pharmacies. A licensed clinician determines whether a prescription is appropriate for an individual patient.

The short answer

PlexusDx charges $289 per month for compounded tirzepatide injection on a month-to-month plan; ShedRx charges $299 per month monthly or $239 per month on a 12-month commitment. Over 12 months, PlexusDx month-to-month totals $3,468, ShedRx month-to-month totals $3,588, and ShedRx 12-month commitment totals $2,868 (our calculation). ShedRx oral GLP-1 lozenges are priced at $199 per month; PlexusDx oral semaglutide capsules are $289 per month month-to-month. Both providers eliminate separate membership fees, include provider visits and shipping, and work with 503A compounding pharmacies. The central trade-off is commitment flexibility versus locked-in savings: PlexusDx offers full month-to-month flexibility at a mid-tier price, while ShedRx delivers the lowest total cost if you commit to 12 months but charges more than PlexusDx if you stay monthly.

Normalized 12-month cost: injectable tirzepatide

Injectable tirzepatide is the most directly comparable medication between the two providers. Here is the 12-month arithmetic for each plan structure:

PlexusDx tirzepatide injection (month-to-month)

• $289 per month × 12 months = $3,468 over 12 months (our calculation)
• No commitment required; cancel or pause anytime
• Same per-month rate at every dose level

ShedRx tirzepatide injection (month-to-month)

• $299 per month × 12 months = $3,588 over 12 months (our calculation)
• No commitment required
• $120 more expensive than PlexusDx month-to-month over 12 months

ShedRx tirzepatide injection (6-month commitment)

• $269 per month for six months, repeated twice: ($269 × 6) × 2 = $3,228 over 12 months (our calculation)
• Requires six-month commitment at sign-up and renewal
• $240 less expensive than PlexusDx month-to-month over 12 months

ShedRx tirzepatide injection (12-month commitment)

• $239 per month × 12 months = $2,868 over 12 months (our calculation)
• Requires 12-month commitment at sign-up
• $600 less expensive than PlexusDx month-to-month over 12 months
• Lowest total cost among all tirzepatide options reviewed

All figures are verified as of the capture dates cited and represent the all-inclusive subscription price (provider visit, medication, shipping). ShedRx pricing was captured from the product page on September 4, 2026, which was designated the authoritative source after researchers noted conflicting teaser prices elsewhere on the ShedRx site. Readers should confirm commitment terms, cancellation policies, and any early-termination fees at ShedRx checkout before committing to a multi-month plan.

Oral GLP-1 options

Both providers offer non-injectable GLP-1 formulations, but the specific compound, delivery format, and pricing differ.

PlexusDx oral semaglutide capsules

• $289 per month month-to-month
• Compounded semaglutide in capsule form
• 12-month cost: $289 × 12 = $3,468 (our calculation)

ShedRx oral GLP-1 lozenges

• $199 per month (verified September 4, 2026)
• Described as "oral GLP-1 lozenges"; specific compound determined by clinician
• 12-month cost: $199 × 12 = $2,388 (our calculation)
• $1,080 less expensive than PlexusDx oral semaglutide over 12 months

ShedRx oral lozenges represent the lowest-cost GLP-1 option in this comparison. The product page does not specify whether the lozenge contains semaglutide, tirzepatide, or another GLP-1 agonist; the prescribing clinician determines the compound based on individual assessment. PlexusDx oral capsules use compounded semaglutide exclusively. Readers who prefer sublingual/buccal absorption or want the lowest oral option should consider ShedRx lozenges; those who want capsule convenience and semaglutide certainty may prefer PlexusDx.

Injectable semaglutide pricing

PlexusDx offers compounded semaglutide injection at $189 per month month-to-month, which over 12 months totals $2,268 (our calculation). ShedRx advertises injectable semaglutide in its medication catalog, but verified checkout pricing with plan structure (monthly, 6-month, 12-month) was not available in the product listings reviewed on September 4, 2026. One source captured a $149 advertised figure, but the plan duration, billing terms, and route confirmation were not documented. Readers interested in ShedRx injectable semaglutide should confirm current pricing and plan options directly at checkout.

Medication catalog and branded options

ShedRx lists compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide injections, oral drops, lozenges, and tablets, plus branded Wegovy and Zepbound in its catalog (verified September 4, 2026). PlexusDx offers compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide in both injection and oral capsule forms, plus a microdose semaglutide injection protocol. Neither provider's catalog includes pricing or availability for branded medications in the verified sources. Readers interested in branded GLP-1 drugs should inquire directly with each provider about current stock, insurance billing, and any incremental cost over compounded options.

Commitment structure and flexibility

PlexusDx uses a single month-to-month pricing model across all medications. You pay the stated rate each month, cancel anytime, and face no early-termination penalty. ShedRx offers three tiers for injectable tirzepatide: a month-to-month rate ($299), a six-month commitment rate ($269/month), and a 12-month commitment rate ($239/month). The six-month and 12-month rates require upfront commitment; the product page reviewed on September 4, 2026, did not specify whether billing occurs monthly or as a lump sum, nor did it detail any early-cancellation fees or refund policies. Readers should confirm billing cadence, cancellation terms, and any penalties with ShedRx before selecting a commitment plan.

Pricing transparency and source conflicts

During research on September 4, 2026, investigators noted that ShedRx pages contained conflicting teaser prices; the product page (https://shedrx.com/products/compounded-tirzepatide-injections) was used as the authoritative source for the figures published in this article. The $299 monthly, $269 six-month, and $239 12-month tirzepatide rates all come from that product page. Readers comparing providers should verify pricing at checkout and confirm that any advertised rate matches the final subscription terms before approving a charge.

Review ratings and reported service quality

PlexusDx holds a 4.2-star rating on Trustpilot, with 76% of reviews at five stars and 81% at four stars or higher (captured September 4, 2026). ShedRx maintains a Trustpilot profile, but the rating and review volume were not captured during the September 4, 2026, research pass. A Reddit search for ShedRx complaints returned results, but no recurring negative theme was coded in the indexed dataset. Readers evaluating ShedRx should check current Trustpilot and Reddit discussions for recent service reports, shipping speed, provider responsiveness, and prescription-transfer experiences.
