Compounded tirzepatide

InstaRX review

By ·Editor·Reviewed

On InstaRX's month-to-month plan, compounded tirzepatide renews at $348 once a calendar month, whatever dose you're on. The first month is billed lower as an introductory offer, so the second charge is the one to budget for. Nothing is taken from your card until a provider approves you.

Who it suits

Good fit if

  • You want the same monthly charge at the starting dose as at the top one.
  • You'd like to be charged only after a provider signs off.
  • You live somewhere smaller sellers skip, since InstaRX says it serves all 50 states and the District of Columbia.

Look elsewhere if

  • You'd judge the price by the first charge alone. Every month after it costs $348.
  • You'd rather start with a live video visit than an online form a provider reviews.

What you get

InstaRX sells tirzepatide on four terms: one month, three months, six months and twelve months. The one-month plan is labeled a “1 Month Supply” and renews at $348. InstaRX labels the 3-month and 6-month prepays as saving 7% and 12%, and each is billed in one charge once you're approved. The product page promises the same price at every dose.

InstaRX, Inc. is a technology platform based in Huntington Beach, California. The prescribing is done by two outside provider groups, Dr Telx and MD Integrations. Its terms say the doctor consultation fee is already part of the monthly price. Medication comes from state-licensed pharmacies, with potency checked every 3 to 6 months by outside labs.

Shipping is free. A first order placed before 2:00 PM Eastern on a business day goes out overnight the same day. Refills travel by ground or 2-day shipping in a plain brown box.

How it works

  1. Start the online assessment, which InstaRX says takes about five minutes. It covers your health history, lifestyle and goals.
  2. Pick a plan length at checkout. The card is billed upon approval, not when you submit the form.
  3. A licensed provider from Dr Telx or MD Integrations reviews your answers and decides whether tirzepatide suits you.
  4. Once you're approved, the pharmacy ships your medication. InstaRX says medication can arrive in as little as 2 days.
  5. The plan renews by itself. You can see your next shipment date under Account, then Subscriptions.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • The tirzepatide page promises “Same price at every dose,” so $348 a month covers the higher strengths too.
  • Under InstaRX's Terms of Service, the doctor consultation fee is folded into the monthly price rather than added on top.
  • Early orders ship overnight: before 2:00 PM Eastern on a business day, a first order goes out the same day.

Cons

  • The introductory first month is cheaper than the $348 renewal, which is easy to miss at checkout.
  • Returns and exchanges end once an order ships, under InstaRX's “Shipping and Refund Policy.”
  • InstaRX's Terms of Service name no compounding pharmacy, so you won't know who fills your order beforehand.

Check before you pay

The renewal price
The subtext on the monthly plan shows a lower first charge followed by $348 a month. Budget for the renewal, since that is what every later month costs.
Canceling before renewal
InstaRX's terms say subscriptions renew automatically at the then-current rate unless you cancel before the renewal date. Check the date under Next Shipment in your account.
Prepay plans
The 3-, 6- and 12-month options each bill the full term upfront. Pick the one-month plan if you'd like to decide again each month.

InstaRX questions

Is InstaRX legit?
InstaRX is a telehealth platform run by InstaRx, Inc. in California. It doesn't prescribe or dispense anything itself. Providers at Dr Telx and MD Integrations make the medical decisions, and licensed pharmacies fill the orders. Its tirzepatide is compounded, so it isn't Zepbound or Mounjaro and has no FDA approval.
How much is InstaRX tirzepatide per month?
$348 a month on the monthly plan, at any dose, after a lower introductory first month. The doctor consultation and shipping are included. InstaRX's compounded semaglutide renews at $248 a month.
Does InstaRX take insurance?
No. InstaRX's FAQ says insurance isn't required, and the program is paid by card.
Can you cancel InstaRX?
Yes. Cancel before your renewal date and the next charge won't go through. An order that has already shipped can't be returned or exchanged.
