Regulatory notice

FDA issued Curex a warning letter in September 2025. You can read it in FDA's warning-letter database. We still list Curex, and we may earn a commission if you start care through the link on this page.

Curex is an allergy clinic first, and its GLP-1 program sits on a separate page.

Best for: Anyone who wants an oral tablet instead of injections, with round-the-clock messaging and a money-back promise, and does not mind learning the exact price during intake.

MatchScript's take: A needle-free tablet option and round-the-clock messaging, but you will not see your real monthly price until intake.

The factor breakdown

Curex on the six Match Score factors — the same sub-scores the quiz reweights to your priorities. See the methodology.

Budget Fit48/100

Only a first-month sale and a 'from $199' figure that names no medication are published, so Budget Fit sits at the unpriced default of 48.

Speed to Start76/100

Published all-50-state access broadens availability; appointment and shipping times still need confirmation, for a middling 76 on Speed to Start.

Formulary Match77/100

Both molecules as injections or under-the-tongue tablets give Formulary Match a 77; there is no brand-name option.

Support Level82/100

Support Level scores 82/100 in our comparison. Confirm who answers clinical questions, how to reach them and whether follow-up visits cost extra.

Flexibility75/100

Flexibility scores 75/100 in our comparison. Check the renewal, cancellation and refund terms before paying; dose changes require a prescriber's approval.

Transparency55/100

The ongoing price per medication and the pharmacy are not published, holding Transparency at 55.

What we found on their site

Read on Curex's own website in October 2026. Quoted text is theirs.

  • The GLP-1 page lists tirzepatide as "First Month starting at $149" and semaglutide as "First Month starting at $49", and elsewhere states "From $199/mo" with "No membership fee · Free shipping".
  • The FAQ says "Curex is available in all 50 states." and adds that "in California, state regulations currently limit prescriptions to oral tablet formulations only".
  • On brand-name drugs it says "We do not prescribe Ozempic®, Wegovy®, Zepbound®, or Mounjaro®", and on visits: "Depending on your location and medical history, your provider may conduct a video visit or an asynchronous text-based consultation."

What we like

  • Semaglutide and tirzepatide come as weekly injections or as once-daily tablets that dissolve under the tongue
  • The plan covers the intake review, prescription, medication and free shipping, with no membership fee
  • Unlimited 24/7 messaging with the care team, and a phone line you can call or text
  • A full refund if you are not prescribed, plus a lose-weight-or-your-money-back promise if you follow the plan (terms apply)
  • Available in all 50 states, and in California it prescribes the tablet form

The caveats

  • No standing monthly price per medication is published: the page shows a first-month sale from $49 for semaglutide and $149 for tirzepatide, and a general 'from $199/mo' that names no medication
  • Injectable medication is not available to California residents
  • Depending on your state and history, a video visit may be required
  • The pharmacy is not named, and clinicians may recommend labs or other medications the plan does not cover
  • No brand-name Wegovy or Zepbound, and FDA sent Curex a warning letter in September 2025, public in FDA's warning-letter database

Curex, answered

Is Curex legit?

Curex is a real, operating GLP-1 telehealth program. LegitScript certification is the third-party check worth asking for — look for the seal on their site and confirm your prescriber is US-licensed at intake. It doesn't publish whether it dispenses compounded or brand-name medication, so ask which one you're being prescribed.

How much does Curex cost?

Curex doesn't publish a clear compounded-semaglutide price up front. You'll typically see full pricing after the intake questionnaire. Get the all-in monthly number in writing before you pay.

Does Curex ship to my state?

Yes — Curex reports availability in all 50 states, so most people can start within days.

Curex vs Direct Meds — which should I pick?

They score within a few points of each other: Curex at 68/100 and Direct Meds at 68/100, so neither wins on the headline number. Curex is the better fit for anyone who wants an oral tablet instead of injections, with round-the-clock messaging and a money-back promise, and does not mind learning the exact price during intake. Direct Meds suits people who want a needle-free sublingual semaglutide option or a quick start, and who are fine learning the tirzepatide price during intake. Run the quiz and the weighting shifts to whichever of those matters more to you.

Verdict · Grade C · 68/100

Curex is an allergy clinic first, and its GLP-1 program sits on a separate page. It prescribes compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide as weekly injections or as tablets that dissolve under the tongue, which is a real draw if you want to avoid needles. The plan includes the review, medication and shipping with no membership fee, the care team answers messages around the clock, and it promises a full refund if you are not prescribed or, with conditions, if you do not lose weight. The pricing is the problem: the page leads with a first-month sale from $49 and a general 'from $199/mo' that names no medication, so the ongoing monthly cost is unclear until you are in the intake. It does not name its pharmacy, injectables are not available in California, and FDA sent the company a warning letter in 2025. Worth a look for the tablets; confirm the month-two price first.
