Best for: Readers who want one clinic that can handle compounded vials now and a brand-name or insurance route later, with refills that are never charged automatically.
MatchScript's take: A physician-led clinic with both compounded and brand-name routes, but you will need to confirm the actual medication price before ordering.
The factor breakdown
DrBrainRx on the six Match Score factors — the same sub-scores the quiz reweights to your priorities. See the methodology.
Medication prices conflict across the site and a $25 membership is added on top, so Budget Fit sits at the unpriced level of 48.
Most patients are approved within 48 hours with no video visit, but the states served are not published.
Both compounded molecules plus brand-name Zepbound through Lilly Direct and insurance-covered brands; no oral GLP-1.
Physician-founded care with direct text access, side-effect prescriptions and an insurance prior-authorization team.
Refills are charged only when you request them, and the membership can be canceled any time without fees.
The care fees are clear, but medication prices disagree between pages, and states and pharmacies are not published.

What we found on their site
Read on DrBrainRx's own website in October 2026. Quoted text is theirs.
- The compounded section reads "Semaglutide starting at $129 dollars." and "Tirzepatide $249 dollars for doses up to 7.5 mg and $399 dollars for higher doses."
- Beneath the prices it adds "Refills are patient-initiated and never auto-charged."
- The brand-name option is described as "Authentic tirzepatide from Eli Lilly. Medication cost paid directly to Lilly. Care through DrBrainRx at 99 dollars monthly."
What we like
- Founded and led by Dr. Sara Siavoshi, board-certified in neurology, headache medicine and obesity medicine
- Compounded refills are requested by you and never auto-charged, and the membership can be canceled any time with no fees
- A brand-name path: Zepbound through Lilly Direct with $99-a-month care, or an insurance concierge that handles prior authorizations for Wegovy, Ozempic, Mounjaro and Zepbound
- If an insurance request is denied, the $99 membership is credited toward a compounded vial
- Direct text or email access to the care team, with prescriptions for nausea or constipation when needed
The caveats
- Medication prices differ across the site: semaglutide appears at $129 and $199, and tirzepatide at $249 or $299 for doses up to 7.5 mg and $399 above that
- The $25 monthly care membership is charged on top of the medication on the compounded track
- Membership fees and consults are non-refundable once started, and shipped medication cannot be refunded
- The states it serves are not listed, and the compounding pharmacies are not named beyond being USP-certified
- Lilly Direct vials over 44 days late are listed at $650 instead of $499

DrBrainRx, answered
Is DrBrainRx legit?
DrBrainRx 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 DrBrainRx cost?
DrBrainRx 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 DrBrainRx ship to my state?
DrBrainRx doesn't publish a full state list, so confirm your state is covered during intake before you pay.
DrBrainRx vs MyDrHank — which should I pick?
They score within a few points of each other: DrBrainRx at 67/100 and MyDrHank at 67/100, so neither wins on the headline number. DrBrainRx is the better fit for readers who want one clinic that can handle compounded vials now and a brand-name or insurance route later, with refills that are never charged automatically. MyDrHank suits people who want an oral semaglutide tablet on the same account as the injections, and who are willing to ask for the monthly price during intake. Run the quiz and the weighting shifts to whichever of those matters more to you.

DrBrainRx is a small telehealth clinic run by Dr. Sara Siavoshi, a neurologist who is also board-certified in obesity medicine. Its appeal is choice: compounded semaglutide or tirzepatide on a $25-a-month care membership, brand-name Zepbound through Lilly Direct on a $99 membership, or help getting Wegovy, Ozempic, Mounjaro or Zepbound covered by insurance. Compounded refills are only charged when you ask for them, and you can cancel the membership any time. The pricing is the weak spot. The site lists semaglutide from $129 in one place and $199 in another, tirzepatide moves from $249 or $299 to $399 at higher doses, and the membership is added on top. States served and pharmacies are not listed, and fees are non-refundable once started. Bottom line: worth considering if you may move between compounded and brand-name care, but get your all-in monthly cost confirmed first.
