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

The short answer

ReflexMD's website lists $299 per month for compounded semaglutide injection and $399 per month for compounded tirzepatide injection (both captured September 4, 2026; https://reflexmd.com). Those figures appear as flat monthly rates with no membership fee and no advertised long-term contract. What ReflexMD does not publish is whether the monthly price stays the same when your prescriber increases your dose—for example, when you titrate from semaglutide 0.5 mg to 1.0 mg or to the 2.4 mg maintenance dose. The pricing pages contain no dose-tier matrix, no "same price at every dose" statement, and no FAQ addressing the question. That gap leaves patients uncertain about the true cost of completing a full titration schedule. PlexusDx publishes an explicit same-at-every-dose policy: $189 per month for compounded semaglutide injection (month-to-month) whether you take 0.25 mg or 2.4 mg, and $289 per month for compounded tirzepatide at any dose. Over twelve months the difference is $1,320 per year in PlexusDx's favor for semaglutide, with dose-cost certainty built into the published rate.

What ReflexMD publishes about GLP-1 pricing

ReflexMD's homepage lists three weight-control medication options: compounded semaglutide injection at $299 per month, compounded tirzepatide injection at $399 per month, and oral weight-control tablets at $199 per month (captured September 4, 2026). The pricing structure is month-to-month with no membership fee, no advertised upfront commitment, and a "no hidden cost" claim in the site's contract language. The $299 and $399 figures appear alongside statements that provider access and medication are included.

What the site does not explain is whether "medication" means medication at any dose or medication at the starting dose only. GLP-1 therapy for weight loss typically begins at a low dose—semaglutide 0.25 mg once weekly, for example—and escalates every four weeks to 0.5 mg, 1.0 mg, 1.7 mg, and finally 2.4 mg at maintenance. Tirzepatide follows a similar pattern from 2.5 mg to 15 mg. Some telehealth providers hold the monthly price steady across all doses; others charge more as the dose increases. ReflexMD's pricing pages, FAQ, and affiliate materials captured to date contain no language addressing this question. A patient comparison-shopping before starting therapy cannot determine from the published evidence whether the $299 semaglutide rate will hold at 1.0 mg or 2.4 mg, or whether a higher dose triggers a higher monthly bill.

One additional wrinkle: our evidence review identified affiliate pages showing "lower introductory rates" for ReflexMD's GLP-1 programs (captured September 4, 2026), though the specific amounts were not recorded. If ReflexMD offers a discounted first month, the advertised $299/$399 rates may represent refill pricing rather than sign-up pricing, and the actual structure may be intro-rate-then-standard or standard-then-dose-dependent. Without checkout-flow evidence or FAQ clarity, the pricing architecture remains opaque.

Normalized 12-month cost: ReflexMD vs PlexusDx

The table below compares like-for-like month-to-month plans using the standard ongoing rates published by each provider. All figures are our calculation; both plans assume no prepayment and no promotional discount.

Medication ReflexMD (month-to-month) PlexusDx (month-to-month) Difference
Compounded semaglutide injection $299/mo → $3,588/year $189/mo → $2,268/year $1,320 lower at PlexusDx (36.8%)
Compounded tirzepatide injection $399/mo → $4,788/year $289/mo → $3,468/year $1,320 lower at PlexusDx (27.6%)

Calculations use standard published month-to-month rates; no prepay discount applied. ReflexMD rates captured September 4, 2026; PlexusDx rates captured September 17, 2026.

If you prepay for three or six months at PlexusDx, the gap widens. Compounded semaglutide injection drops to $169 per month with a three-month commitment ($2,028 per year, our calculation) or $149 per month with a six-month commitment ($1,788 per year, our calculation). Compounded tirzepatide injection falls to $269 per month at three months ($3,228 per year, our calculation) or $249 per month at six months ($2,988 per year, our calculation). ReflexMD does not advertise multi-month pricing tiers.

Why dose-pricing transparency matters

A standard semaglutide titration schedule spans five months—four weeks each at 0.25 mg, 0.5 mg, 1.0 mg, 1.7 mg, and 2.4 mg—before you reach the FDA-studied maintenance dose for weight loss. If the monthly price climbs at each step, your out-of-pocket cost in month five may be double the month-one rate, and you will carry that higher cost for as long as you stay on therapy. Some patients remain on maintenance doses for one year or longer. The cumulative budget impact of a dose-dependent pricing model can exceed $1,000 over twelve months compared to a flat-rate model, depending on the provider's tier structure.

Conversely, a same-at-every-dose policy means you can budget the full course of treatment from day one. You know that the $189 per month you pay at semaglutide 0.25 mg will be the same $189 per month at 2.4 mg. There are no mid-therapy price surprises, no need to re-evaluate affordability at each titration step, and no incentive to halt the increase before reaching the clinically effective dose.

ReflexMD's published materials state "no hidden cost" but do not define whether that promise extends to dose-tier pricing. A hidden cost is typically understood as an undisclosed fee—shipping, membership, lab work—rather than a clearly communicated price increase tied to a higher medication dose. Without an explicit dose-pricing matrix or a same-dose guarantee, patients must either contact ReflexMD's support team before enrolling or accept the risk of a price adjustment after the first titration.

What PlexusDx publishes about dose pricing

PlexusDx states "Same price at every dose" on its compounded GLP-1 product pages (captured September 17, 2026; https://plexusdx.com/products/semaglutide-injection and https://plexusdx.com/products/tirzepatide-injection). The policy applies to all four injectable GLP-1 options—compounded semaglutide injection, compounded tirzepatide injection, semaglutide oral capsules, and tirzepatide oral capsules—and covers the full FDA-studied dose range for each medication. A patient prescribed semaglutide 0.25 mg pays $189 per month (month-to-month plan); if the prescriber increases the dose to 1.0 mg or 2.4 mg, the monthly rate remains $189. The same guarantee applies to tirzepatide: $289 per month at 2.5 mg, 5 mg, 10 mg, or 15 mg.

The policy is repeated in PlexusDx's FAQ, on the checkout page, and in new-patient onboarding emails, ensuring that patients see the commitment before the first payment clears. PlexusDx also publishes the dose guarantee for oral capsule formulations: semaglutide oral remains $289 per month at any dose, and tirzepatide oral remains $349 per month at any dose. (Oral GLP-1 formulations are compounded; the FDA has approved only one oral GLP-1 product—Rybelsus, a branded semaglutide tablet—and compounded oral versions are not FDA-approved or independently established as interchangeable.)

Choose ReflexMD if…

  • You prefer the ReflexMD care model or have an existing relationship with a ReflexMD provider, and you are willing to confirm the dose-pricing policy with their support team before enrolling.
  • You plan to remain at a low maintenance dose and believe the published $299/$399 rate will hold at that dose, accepting the higher base price in exchange for other service features you value.
  • You have verified through ReflexMD's checkout flow or customer support that the advertised monthly rate does not change with dose titration, and the total cost still fits your budget.

Choose PlexusDx if…

  • You want explicit dose-cost certainty published on the product page and guaranteed in writing before you start therapy, with no need to contact support or interpret FAQ ambiguity.
  • You want the lowest published month-to-month rate among the national compounded GLP-1 telehealth providers reviewed to date—$189/month for semaglutide injection and $289/month for tirzepatide injection—and you want that rate to hold at 2.4 mg semaglutide or 15 mg tirzepatide without a price step-up.
  • You prefer the option to prepay for three or six months in exchange for a lower effective monthly rate ($149/month semaglutide or $249/month tirzepatide at six months, with the same-dose guarantee included).
  • You value transparent all-in pricing: no membership fee, no per-visit charge, no lab-work add-on, and no dose-tier matrix to decipher.

Additional cost considerations

Both ReflexMD and PlexusDx bundle provider access and medication in the advertised monthly rate. Neither charges a separate membership fee or per-visit consultation fee, which distinguishes both programs from older telehealth models that layered a $99–$199 annual membership atop the medication cost. Shipping is included at both providers for U.S. addresses.

ReflexMD's evidence record shows affiliate promotional pages that may offer a reduced first-month rate, though the specific terms were not captured in our September 4, 2026 review. If an introductory discount exists, the $299 semaglutide figure would represent the refill rate beginning in month two. PlexusDx does not offer first-month discounts; the published rate is the rate charged every month.

Lab work is not itemized as a separate line in either provider's pricing structure, but medical necessity may require baseline or follow-up labs during GLP-1 therapy. Some prescribers order lipid panels, hemoglobin A1c, or liver-function tests before starting or adjusting a GLP-1 medication. If your insurance does not cover those labs and the telehealth provider does not include them in the monthly fee, you may incur an additional $50–$300 per test depending on the lab network you use. Confirm lab-inclusion policies during intake.

Methodology and freshness

ReflexMD pricing was captured September 4, 2026 from the provider's homepage and affiliate pages (https://reflexmd.com). The $299 semaglutide and $399 tirzepatide rates are listed as standard ongoing monthly costs with no membership fee and no advertised contract term. Affiliate pages noted in the evidence review showed "lower introductory rates," but specific amounts were not recorded; readers should verify promotional terms at checkout. No dose-pricing matrix, FAQ entry, or policy statement addressing whether the monthly rate changes with dose titration was identified in the captured materials. PlexusDx pricing was captured September 17, 2026 from public product pages (https://plexusdx.com). The same-at-every-dose policy is published on each GLP-1 product page and confirmed in the provider's FAQ. Twelve-month cost calculations are ours, derived by multiplying the stated monthly rate by twelve; no actual patient invoices or checkout receipts were reviewed. All figures reflect standard ongoing rates with no promotional discount applied unless explicitly labeled. ReflexMD's Trustpilot and Reddit community pages were reviewed September 4, 2026; no patient reports documenting dose-dependent price increases or dose-pricing complaints were captured. PlexusDx holds a 4.3-star rating on Trustpilot with 79% of reviews at five stars and 83% at four stars or higher (captured September 9, 2026; https://trustpilot.com/review/plexusdx.com).

Frequently Asked Questions

Does ReflexMD increase the monthly price when my semaglutide dose goes from 0.5 mg to 1.0 mg?

ReflexMD's public pricing pages do not state whether the $299 per month semaglutide rate holds at all doses or increases with titration. The site lists a flat monthly rate and claims "no hidden cost," but it does not publish a dose-pricing matrix or a same-at-every-dose guarantee. You should contact ReflexMD's support team or complete the checkout flow to confirm the policy before enrolling.

What does PlexusDx's same-at-every-dose policy cover?

PlexusDx guarantees that the advertised monthly rate—$189 for compounded semaglutide injection, $289 for compounded tirzepatide injection—remains unchanged regardless of your prescribed dose. If you start at semaglutide 0.25 mg and titrate to 2.4 mg, you pay $189 per month at every step. The policy is published on each product page and confirmed in the provider's FAQ.

How much do I save over a year if I choose PlexusDx instead of ReflexMD for semaglutide?

Using the standard month-to-month rates captured in September 2026, PlexusDx charges $189 per month for compounded semaglutide injection and ReflexMD charges $299 per month. Over twelve months that difference equals $1,320 per year in PlexusDx's favor, assuming both providers hold the rate steady across all doses. If you prepay six months at PlexusDx the rate drops to $149 per month, widening the gap to $1,800 per year (our calculation).

Are compounded GLP-1 medications like Ozempic or Wegovy?

No. Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide are not FDA-approved and are not independently established as interchangeable with branded products such as Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, or Zepbound. The FDA does not review compounded medications before marketing for safety, effectiveness, or quality. A licensed clinician determines whether a compounded prescription is appropriate for an individual patient based on medical history and current guidelines.

Does ReflexMD require a long-term contract or membership fee?

ReflexMD's pricing pages captured September 4, 2026 do not advertise a long-term contract or a separate membership fee. The $299 semaglutide and $399 tirzepatide rates are listed as month-to-month with provider access and medication included. Affiliate promotional pages may present different terms; you should confirm contract length and cancellation policies during checkout.
