ElixaMD review
A promotional first month, a stated refill price, and three compounding pharmacies named on the homepage.
The verdict
ElixaMD sells a compounded semaglutide program. The first month is $99 with no contract. Refills are stated at $199, medication included. On this site, $199 is the price. A first-month promotion never is.

ElixaMD is a telehealth storefront for GLP-1 weight loss. Its listed address is in Newark, Delaware. It offers compounded injections and the branded Wegovy and Zepbound.
Who writes the prescription, and what do they see?
OpenLoop Health clinicians prescribe. The footer names CareGLP Affiliated P.C.s and OpenLoop Health as the medical providers. A clinician meets the patient after checkout. The clinician decides whether to prescribe.
The steps run in this order. 1) An online assessment screens out ineligible patients. 2) Checkout. 3) A clinician visit. 4) Shipping from a partner pharmacy. Support is listed as available around the clock.
What happens when the dose goes up?
The FAQ states one refill price. It does not state a price for each dose. No published line says the refill rises at a higher dose. The dose ladder itself is not published.
What the price includes
The first month costs $99. Refills cost $199, according to the FAQ. The refill covers the physician review, the plan, the guidance and the medication. Branded medication carries its own cost, which is not published. Cancellation needs 72 hours' notice before the next billing date.
What it claims, and what it cites
The compounded injections are not FDA-approved. The site says so directly. Three partner pharmacies are named: Triad Rx, RedRock Pharmacy and Beaker Pharmacy & Compounding. Wegovy and Zepbound are branded, FDA-approved products.
Where it holds up, and where it does not
- Strength: Refill price stated in the FAQ
- Strength: Three partner pharmacies named on the homepage
- Strength: Prescribing network named in the footer
- Strength: Medication included in the refill price
- Limitation: Headline price is a first-month promotion
- Limitation: Price at each dose not published
- Limitation: No refund for months already billed
- Limitation: Branded medication cost not published
What the evidence says about this kind of treatment
The assessment above is about ElixaMD. These are about the drugs it sells, and they are traced to the primary literature.
- Right for
- A buyer who wants compounded semaglutide at one stated refill price.
- Wrong for
- A buyer who needs the price at each dose step before starting.

- Does ElixaMD charge $99 every month?
- No. $99 is the first month. Refills are $199, per the FAQ.
- Who prescribes?
- An OpenLoop Health clinician, after checkout. The clinician decides whether a prescription is written.
- How does cancellation work?
- Contact support at least 72 hours before the next billing date. A month already charged is not refunded.
- Is ElixaMD expensive compared with other GLP-1 telehealth sellers?
- ElixaMD publishes a starting figure of $199/mo. Across the 399 GLP-1 telehealth sellers we review that publish a single monthly figure, those run $49 to $525.42 with a median of $189, which puts ElixaMD above the median. The other 58 GLP-1 telehealth sellers we review quote only after an intake or price by dose, so they are not in that comparison. A starting figure is not a bill — labs, consultations and shipping are often charged separately, so confirm what your own quote includes.
