AskRx, answered
Is AskRx legit?
AskRx is a real, operating GLP-1 telehealth program, but we don't find it on the LegitScript registry, so it carries less third-party verification than the certified providers on our board. It dispenses compounded medication, which isn't FDA-approved. Vet the prescriber and pharmacy before you commit.
How much does AskRx cost?
AskRx lists compounded semaglutide from $349/mo (all doses, brand-name) and tirzepatide from $299/mo (2.5 mg dose, brand-name) — above our category median of $179/mo. These are the provider's public figures at our last review (June 2026); confirm on their site, since some teaser tiers step up after month one.
Does AskRx ship to my state?
Yes — AskRx reports availability in all 50 states, so most people can start within days.
AskRx vs CoreAge Rx — which is better?
Both are on our board. AskRx scores 63/100; CoreAge Rx leads our default ranking at 91/100 for its flat nationwide pricing on both molecules and easy cancellation. AskRx can still win for you if its strengths match your priorities — best for: People who want a brand-name-only GLP-1 prescriber routing to NovoCare or LillyDirect. Run the quiz to see which comes out ahead for you.
