Price transparency
What is disclosed before intake, not a clinical rating.
DrBrainRx separates its weight-care offer into compounded treatment, branded prescriptions through insurance and a manufacturer-direct pathway. For compounded treatment, the homepage lists a $25 monthly care membership plus $129 semaglutide or $249 tirzepatide, with refills requested by the patient. Comparing the complete care and medication cost matters more than the medicine-only headline.
DrBrainRx does not pay us. We review it so you can compare it with the programs that do. Disclosure
DrBrainRx publishes its price before the medical intake — you can see what it costs without handing over your health history first.

The verdict
DrBrainRx shows its price before the medical intake, but leaves gaps, such as what the advertised price includes or which pharmacy fills the prescription. It ranks 136 of 293 on price transparency.
The score beside DrBrainRx's name rates how much it tells you before the medical intake — the price, the pharmacy and the terms — not how cheap it is.

What do you get with DrBrainRx?
- A clinical evaluation and individualized treatment decision through a service whose current terms identify Siavoshi Inc. doing business as DrBrainRx, a California professional corporation.
- Compounded semaglutide or tirzepatide with a separate monthly care membership, and distinct branded-prescription pathways with a different care fee.
- Ongoing care-team access for treatment questions, progress, dose adjustments and follow-up, with pharmacy fulfillment handled independently.
- Patient-initiated compounded medication refills described as never automatically charged, alongside an ongoing care membership that still needs cancellation if you stop.
- Insurance prior-authorization assistance in the branded track, with medication costs paid through the appropriate pharmacy or manufacturer pathway.
How does DrBrainRx work?
Choose the right financial pathway
The compounded track has a $25 monthly care fee and separate medication prices. The branded track lists $99 monthly care, while insurance copays or manufacturer-direct medication payments remain separate. Ask which arrangement fits your intended prescription, and do not combine one track’s care fee with another track’s medicine quote.
Complete the medical evaluation
A clinician assesses your history and whether treatment is appropriate. The current terms identify the professional corporation behind the service, but access still depends on your location and clinician availability. Disclose existing medicines, prior GLP-1 treatment and any relevant health conditions before a prescribing decision.
Confirm the prescription and payment
For compounds, the homepage lists semaglutide at $129 and tirzepatide at $249 across doses. Ask what quantity and duration the purchase supplies, which pharmacy will dispense it and whether shipping or taxes add to the order. The branded pathways have their own medication charges and dispensing arrangements.
Request refills and manage care membership
The site describes compounded refills as patient-initiated rather than automatically charged. That does not by itself stop the monthly care fee. Use the portal to manage membership and retain confirmation; the terms give a 48-hour advance deadline before an applicable monthly processing date.
How much does DrBrainRx cost?
Compounded semaglutide $129 plus $25/month care; complete delivered supply and ongoing month-to-month total not established.
Compounded tirzepatide $249 plus $25/month care; complete delivered supply and ongoing month-to-month total not established.
Confirm clinical and pharmacy eligibility for your state and selected prescription; full current treatment-state access is not established
The compounded track lists $25 per month for care, plus semaglutide at $129 or tirzepatide at $249. Those components add to $154 or $274 before any unestablished order-specific charges, but the public offer does not fully settle the complete recurring supply and delivered total. Branded care is $99 monthly with medication costs separate, including insurance copays or manufacturer-direct payments.
- The medicine cards say all doses, and the compounded track says there are no price hikes with increased doses. Ask for the prescribed quantity and supply period rather than assuming every vial lasts a calendar month or that all fulfillment charges are included in the advertised amount.
- The first-vial discount is an introductory promotion. A coupon does not reduce the ongoing membership or every later prescription automatically. Request the regular next refill amount and the continuing care fee before comparing it with a single-price bundled provider.
- The branded insurance track advertises prior-authorization assistance, not guaranteed coverage. The site says a denied request can apply the $99 membership amount to compounded treatment. Obtain the conditions, timing and any remaining payment rather than treating the credit as a cash refund.
- The homepage describes no commitment or cancellation fee and portal cancellation with access through the paid cycle. The terms specify cancellation up to 48 hours before applicable monthly processing. Make the request early and retain confirmation rather than relying only on the broader cancel-anytime phrase.
- The refund policy excludes medication returns, exchanges and refunds once shipped. Possible pharmacy-error exceptions include an incorrect dispensing or an address error attributable to the pharmacy. Report problems promptly and keep the order, label and shipping information.
- Telehealth consultations, prior-authorization assistance and administrative services are non-refundable once initiated. Ask what you owe if treatment is declined and whether any unperformed services remain refundable before authorizing a membership or medication order.

The pharmacy behind the medicine
It does not name its pharmacy. DrBrainRx does not publicly disclose which compounding pharmacy fills its prescriptions. That is common and it is not an accusation — but it does mean the one thing you would most want to verify about a compounded medicine is the one thing you cannot.
A compounded drug is mixed to order by a pharmacy rather than manufactured and released as a finished product, so the FDA has not reviewed the specific preparation you are prescribed for safety, effectiveness or quality. That is true of every compounded program, including the highest-scoring ones.
What else do people ask about DrBrainRx?
Is DrBrainRx semaglutide only $129?
The compounded medication is listed at $129, but that track also has a $25 monthly care membership. The two components add to $154 before any unestablished order-specific charges. Confirm the supply period, shipping and full delivered amount instead of comparing the medication-only headline with a bundled plan.
What is the tirzepatide price?
The compounded track lists $249 for medication and $25 monthly care, adding to $274 before any unestablished extras. The site says the medication price applies across doses. Obtain the quantity, supply and pharmacy invoice for the actual prescription before treating it as a complete recurring total.
Are refills automatic?
The homepage says compounded refills are patient-initiated and never automatically charged. The care membership is a separate continuing payment. Ask how to pause or stop it if you do not request another prescription, and use the portal to retain a cancellation confirmation.
How does branded treatment differ financially?
The branded track lists $99 monthly care. Medication is paid separately through insurance or a manufacturer-direct pathway, so copays, product and dose can change the complete cost. Prior-authorization assistance is included in the described service, but coverage and prescription approval are not guaranteed.
When should I cancel membership?
The homepage describes portal cancellation and access until the billing cycle ends. The current terms require up to 48 hours before an applicable monthly processing date. Submit early, keep confirmation and distinguish membership cancellation from a prescription that has already entered pharmacy fulfillment.
Can I return an unopened prescription?
The refund policy excludes prescription returns or refunds once shipped. Clinical and administrative services are also non-refundable after they begin. Pharmacy errors have a separate possible exception; contact the service and dispensing pharmacy promptly rather than sending medication back without instructions.
