Compounded semaglutide
Rixa Health review
At Rixa Health, compounded semaglutide starts at $195 for four weeks at 0.3 mg, close to $212 over a calendar month. There are five dose levels, and the two middle ones are sold as five-week supplies. You see a provider live before anything is charged.
Is it right for you?
Worth a look if
- You want a real appointment with a provider before starting.
- You'd consider a dissolving tablet under the tongue instead of an injection.
- You care which licensed compounding pharmacy prepares your medication.
Skip it if
- You want the same price at every dose.
- Monthly check-in visits for six months don't fit your schedule.
- You'd prefer a charge once per calendar month to a four-week cycle.
What's included
Rixa sells injectable semaglutide in five levels, from 0.3 mg to 2.2 mg a week. Level 1 costs $195 for four weeks. Levels 3 and 4 each cover five weeks, and the top level returns to four. Every price bundles the provider visit with the medication, and Rixa charges no monthly fees on top.
The medication ships to you straight from the preparing pharmacy. Rixa lists three partners by name: Belmar Pharma Solutions, Red Rock Pharmacy and Seven Cells Pharmacy. It also sells a semaglutide and B12 oral dissolving tablet, priced per 30 or 90 days. Weight-loss patients get a free smart scale that reads body composition.
From sign-up to refills
- Pick your state on Rixa's booking page and book a visit with a listed provider. Your card is held, not charged.
- Complete the intake form that follows. Anything that disqualifies you is flagged before the visit, at no cost.
- Before the visit, Rixa sends a 30-minute video on the program, the medication and side effects.
- At the appointment you and the provider settle on a dose. You're charged only once you approve that plan and price.
- Refills come with a monthly follow-up for the first six months. Go 90 days without one and you'll redo the intake.
What's good, what isn't
What's good
- Your first Rixa visit is a live appointment, and the card is charged only after you approve the plan.
- Belmar Pharma Solutions, Red Rock Pharmacy and Seven Cells Pharmacy are named as Rixa's partner pharmacies.
- Rixa also sells a semaglutide and B12 dissolving tablet for anyone who'd rather skip needles.
What isn't
- Semaglutide at Rixa costs more at each of its 5 dose levels, from 0.3 mg up to 2.2 mg.
- Two middle levels at Rixa are five-week supplies, so the billing rhythm shifts as your dose climbs.
- A late-cancel or no-show fee applies at Rixa, and the amount isn't posted.
Read these terms first
- Which level you'll reach
- Your price depends on your weekly dose. Ask the provider which level you're likely to end up on.
- Appointment fee
- Missing a visit or canceling late triggers a fee. Confirm the figure when you book.
- Keeping your place
- Follow-ups are monthly for six months. A 90-day lapse sends you back to a new patient intake.

Common questions about Rixa Health
- Is Rixa Health legit?
- Rixa Health is a telehealth practice with a team of D.O. physicians and a board-certified nurse practitioner. It lists its partner pharmacies publicly. The semaglutide it prescribes is compounded, so it isn't Wegovy or Ozempic and isn't FDA-approved.
- How much does Rixa Health semaglutide cost?
- Level 1, 0.3 mg a week, is $195 for four weeks, about $212 a calendar month. Each higher level costs more. Rixa's tirzepatide starts near $304 a month.
- Does Rixa Health accept insurance?
- You pay Rixa directly for the visit and medication bundle. Its pricing page says HSA or FSA cards can be used.
- Is there a contract with Rixa Health?
- No. Rixa says there are no contracts or long-term commitments, and no monthly fees. You pay for the plan you agree to at each visit.
