How I scored Telos Rx
Every factor here comes from Telos Rx's own pricing, its disclosures and the signup I walked, and the six add up to the 82/100 Mom-Tested Score on the same weighted six-factor method I use on every provider — never nudged by whether a provider pays us.
One of the easiest starts on my list — very little stands between you and a real answer.
Scores high: what you'd actually pay is easy to establish before you commit.
Scores high on medication choice — the options that matter are covered.
Scores low: whether it reaches you is the open question.
Support is the weakest part of this provider's score.
Workable to cancel, just not frictionless.

$99 for semaglutide, $139 for the weekly tirzepatide shot, flat at every dose, with sublingual drops at $129 and a microdose tier at $116. Simple and clearly stated — which makes the gaps stand out: no state list, no named pharmacy, no medical director.
What to expect when you sign up
I walked Telos Rx's public signup funnel (August 2026) — a first-hand look at the flow. I don't create accounts, enter medical info, or check out, so this is what any visitor sees, not a patient outcome.
- 1Pick a priority — strongest appetite control, lowest entry price, no needles, or gentlest start — or skip picking and let a provider match you
- 2Do a five-minute online visit — no appointment to book
- 3A provider reviews it, usually within hours; not approved means you pay nothing
- 4Cancel anytime with one click from the patient portal
What I noticed
- Four prices are posted up front for both molecules, and stated flat: 'your monthly cost stays the same even as your dose goes up'
- There's a needle-free sublingual option and a low-dose microdose tier, plus a cancel-anytime portal
- State coverage still isn't published anywhere on the site
Pricing
Prices re-verified
| Medication | Monthly | Plan |
|---|---|---|
| Compounded semaglutide | $99 | Weekly injection'As low as $99/mo', stated flat — Telos says price does not rise as your dose is adjusted. |
| Compounded tirzepatide | $139 | Weekly injection'As low as $139/mo', flat. |
| Oral tirzepatide | $129 | Sublingual drops, needle-free'As low as $129/mo', flat. |
| Compounded tirzepatide | $116 | Microdosed weekly (gentlest start)'As low as $116/mo', flat. |
HSA and FSA usually work for this — worth checking your own plan. The prices here are what Telos Rx's public disclosures showed at last review, and they change often; confirm the current number on Telos Rx's own site.
What I like
- Both molecules plus a sublingual option and a low-dose microdose tier
- Four price points posted up front, before any intake — genuinely transparent on the headline number
- Stated flat pricing — 'your monthly cost stays the same even as your dose goes up' — in writing on the pricing page and its own FAQ
- Cancel anytime with one click from the portal
The caveats
- State coverage isn't listed, and no pharmacy or medical director is named
- 'As low as' pricing still depends on what's prescribed — confirm the exact number at intake
- No postpartum, breastfeeding, or PCOS framing
What I actually think of Telos Rx
Four flat, posted price points and a written promise your cost won't climb with your dose — a real step up in clarity from what we found last check — undercut by a state list it still won't publish. It runs about $99/month, and it's flat at every dose — toward the cheaper end of what I walked.
I look at Telos Rx the way moms actually have to — not just the real monthly number, but nursing and pregnancy timing and canceling without a fight. That's the stuff a generic weight-loss review skips right over.
What Telos Rx really costs
- Compounded semaglutide — Weekly injection: $99/mo
- Compounded tirzepatide — Weekly injection: $139/mo
- Oral tirzepatide — Sublingual drops, needle-free: $129/mo
- Compounded tirzepatide — Microdosed weekly (gentlest start): $116/mo
That's under the roughly $179 median I found across the providers I walked — real money back in the grocery budget.
Which meds Telos Rx prescribes
Telos Rx prescribes semaglutide and tirzepatide — the two with the strongest published weight-loss numbers, and having both on one account genuinely matters if insulin resistance is in the mix (which it often is with PCOS or after gestational diabetes), because that's when tirzepatide tends to be the better fit. These are compounded from a licensed pharmacy — that's why the price stays down — but compounded GLP-1s aren't FDA-approved finished products the way Wegovy and Zepbound are, and it's worth knowing that going in.
There's a needle-free sublingual option too, which is a relief if injections are the thing stopping you — just set expectations honestly: the under-the-tongue versions are far less studied than the shots the trials actually used.
Who Telos Rx is — and isn't — for
A good fit if…
- money is the actual barrier and you want a low, predictable number you can plan around.
- you might need to move between semaglutide and tirzepatide as your body and hormones shift.
Look elsewhere if…
- you specifically want an FDA-approved brand pen with its own pregnancy and lactation labeling.
- you'd rather a prescriber actually talk through nursing and pregnancy timing with you — that's what my #1 pick, CoreAge Rx, is built to do.
Can you trust it?
I'm confident in the public facts on Telos Rx — pricing, pharmacies, and the clinical network all checked out when I last looked. With any compounded GLP-1, the most useful thing you can do is confirm which licensed pharmacy fills it and what's actually in the formulation — I explain how I weigh oversight in the scoring method.
A standing caveat, because I'm a mom writing this and not your doctor: GLP-1 meds aren't established as safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding, and every label advises against it. Nothing here changes that — plan the timing with your own clinician.
So, would I use it?
Telos Rx is a genuine budget play — weigh it against the picks below on nursing and pregnancy timing and canceling without a fight. For most moms, CoreAge Rx is still the stronger all-round fit — and you can see them side by side in this head-to-head.
The bottom line for moms
Best for: Moms who want a needle-free option and genuinely flat, posted pricing across either molecule, and who will confirm state availability before enrolling.
If Telos Rx isn't the one
Providers I have a referral relationship with, ordered by Mom-Tested Score — highest first. A fee never moves a score, but it does decide who shows up in this box, so it isn't everyone: my full ranking has every provider, paid or not.
- Visit CoreAge RxMom-Tested Score94/100ACoreAge RxMy #1 pick
The one I'd point a friend to first: I finished the intake in a single nap, the price on screen was the price I'd actually pay, and both semaglutide and tirzepatide were right there on one account.
- Visit Pallas HealthMom-Tested Score86/100B+
Pallas is one of the few places that will sell you either the cheap compounded route or the real brand-name pen without making you pick a provider first — compounded semaglutide works out to about $199 a month and tirzepatide about $299, while actual Zepbound, Ozempic, Wegovy and Mounjaro sit alongside them at cash-pay prices from $1,069. The price genuinely doesn't climb as you titrate, Pallas says so plainly on its own site, and the clinician, dose adjustments, check-ins and messaging are all inside that one number with no membership fee stacked on top. Two clinicians are named and both check out in the federal NPI registry, the LegitScript badge it displays is a real one, and it publishes an actual refund policy — full refund if a clinician turns you down, and a $5 processing fee if you cancel a qualifying payment — which is more paperwork than most of this market bothers with. The two things to know before you commit: it bills every 12 weeks in $597 and $897 chunks rather than monthly, and it never names its compounding pharmacy.
- Visit Trimi HealthMom-Tested Score85/100B
The price-first pick: some of the lowest flat, all-inclusive pricing I found, in all 50 states — great if the monthly number is your whole decision and you read the annual-prepay fine print before you sign.

Head-to-head & alternatives
Telos Rx, answered
- What does Telos Rx actually cost?
- Telos now states flat pricing across the board: as low as $99/mo for semaglutide, $139/mo for injectable tirzepatide, $129/mo for the needle-free oral version, and $116/mo for the microdosed tier — with the site saying directly that the price doesn't rise as your dose is adjusted. That's a real improvement in clarity over what we found on our last check, though 'as low as' still means your specific quote depends on what a provider prescribes.
- Does Telos Rx have a no-needle option?
- Yes — Telos offers a sublingual (under-the-tongue) tirzepatide alongside the injections, plus a low-dose 'microdose' tier pitched as a gentler on-ramp. Two honest notes: sublingual GLP-1s are far less studied than the injections the trials used, and 'microdose' is a marketing term, not a proven protocol. Handy options, just not proven equals to the standard shot.
- Do I need a video visit for Telos Rx?
- No — it's a five-minute async online visit with no appointment, and a provider usually reviews it within hours. If you're not approved, you pay nothing, and you can cancel anytime with one click from the portal. The convenience is real; just balance it against the thin transparency — the state list and pharmacy/medical-director names aren't published on-site.
Pricing, states and verification reflect Telos Rx's public disclosures at last review; the Mom-Tested Score is one mom's editorial judgment per the published method. This is background reading, not medical advice — GLP-1 medications are not established as safe in pregnancy or breastfeeding. See my medical disclaimer and how I'm funded.
