Compounded semaglutide
EdgeRx review
For $199 a month, EdgeRx sends a month of compounded semaglutide with glycine and B12 added. The protocol is pitched at men who want to lose fat without losing muscle. Physician review, check-ins and shipping are part of the price.
Is it right for you?
Worth a look if
- You're a man looking for a GLP-1 plan built around body composition rather than the scale alone.
- You want to see the compounding pharmacy's name before you buy.
- You'd like to message a physician outside business hours.
Skip it if
- You want to be charged only after a prescription is written. EdgeRx charges at checkout and refunds if you're declined.
- You need to return a vial after approval, which EdgeRx won't accept.
What's included
The semaglutide comes at 5 mg per mL, mixed with glycine, which EdgeRx includes to help protect muscle, and B12. One variable-dose vial covers a month, and it's ready to draw with no reconstitution. You inject once a week, on the day your physician sets.
Your $199 covers the medication, a physician evaluation, ongoing check-ins and free shipping. Strive Pharmacy compounds every EdgeRx protocol. EdgeRx says each vial is third-party tested for sterility, potency and endotoxins.
From sign-up to refills
- Start at the semaglutide page and pay for the first month at checkout.
- Watch your inbox for the medical intake and fill it in. It covers symptoms, history and current medications.
- An independent board-certified physician reviews it, most often within a day, and sets your starting dose.
- Strive Pharmacy prepares the order, and it ships discreetly, usually overnight.
- Each month's refill renews automatically. Your physician steps the dose up at check-ins.
What's good, what isn't
What's good
- Strive Pharmacy, a 503A pharmacy compounding since 2018, is named as the pharmacy behind every EdgeRx order.
- EdgeRx's semaglutide includes glycine and B12 at the same $199 a month.
- Pausing or canceling EdgeRx costs nothing, and there's no minimum commitment.
What isn't
- EdgeRx takes the first $199 payment before a physician has reviewed your intake.
- Approved orders are compounded for you, so EdgeRx gives no refund once one is filled.
- Semaglutide isn't available in Arkansas, Indiana or South Carolina.
Read these terms first
- Monthly renewals
- The checkout says your plan renews every month until canceled. Stop or pause it before the next refill goes to the pharmacy.
- Paying with pre-tax money

- What happens if EdgeRx declines me?
