The closest pair in this comparison
Both offer each compound as a weekly injection or a daily oral form. Both are licensed across all fifty states plus the District of Columbia. Both hold the rate steady while the dose climbs, and both fold lab work and follow-up into the program rather than invoicing them.
Both also stop at the same place on disclosure. Neither names the pharmacy that compounds and dispenses the medication, and neither displays a third-party accreditation seal.
So the usual separators do not separate them. Two things do: how each provider's advertised figure relates to what you will actually pay, and what is in the preparation you receive.
The first-month figure is not the price
YourHealthRx advertises a discounted introductory month. The ongoing monthly rate is higher, and that is the number a patient lives with from month two onward.
Apex MD's published figure has no such step. It is the standing rate, with nothing prepaid and no plan-length ladder underneath it.
An introductory rate set against a competitor's standing rate manufactures a gap that does not survive thirty days. Compare the YourHealthRx ongoing rate against the Apex MD rate. The discount is real value — it lowers the cost of finding out whether treatment suits you — but it is not the number to budget against.
What is in the vial is the other real difference
Apex MD's compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide arrive with NAD, B-12, and L-carnitine in the same preparation. YourHealthRx dispenses the compounded GLP-1 itself.
Apex MD publishes what is in its preparation. What those additions accomplish is not established here, and no clinical conclusion is invented to fill the gap. What changes for a buyer is the comparison: these are not the same product at two prices.
A multi-ingredient preparation is also harder to reason about. That matters for a reader who already takes supplements, or who wants to work out what is behind a side effect. Raise it at intake rather than reading it off a label later.
Who you are actually dealing with
YourHealthRx describes itself as the technology and commerce layer. Deciding who qualifies and writing the prescription happen inside partner clinical operations rather than at YourHealthRx.
That arrangement is common in telehealth and is not a defect on its own. It does change who to contact when something goes wrong. Establish at intake who reviews eligibility, who signs the prescription, who handles a side-effect question, and who handles a shipment problem. On a platform model those are often different parties.
Apex MD publishes no operating entity either, so neither provider leaves a reader with much to look up. Combined with an unnamed pharmacy on both sides, the chain behind the purchase stays largely anonymous at both.
Scope of the catalog
YourHealthRx sells a broader catalog of longevity peptides alongside its GLP-1 line. Apex MD's offering in this category is the compounded GLP-1 preparation itself.
That is either a reason to consolidate or a reason to look elsewhere, depending on whether you want a focused weight-management program or a wider pharmacy relationship.
So which one
It depends on which of these matters more to you. If you want a single-ingredient compounded GLP-1 and a wider catalog behind the same account, YourHealthRx fits — provided you budget against its ongoing rate rather than its introductory one.
If you want the advertised figure to be the figure, with unlimited visits and Labcorp work already inside it, Apex MD is the simpler arrangement. The blend and the unnamed pharmacy are the price of that simplicity.
Boards both of these appear on
Apex MD and YourHealthRx both qualify for 4 of the 6 boards on this site. Each board ranks a wider field than these two, so a position here is against everyone on it, not against each other.
- Semaglutide — Apex MD #64, YourHealthRx #259, of 334
- Tirzepatide — Apex MD #61, YourHealthRx #238, of 319
- Cheapest Overall — Apex MD #67, YourHealthRx #295, of 396
- Cash Pay vs Insurance — Apex MD #30, YourHealthRx #76, of 80
Who each one is better for
Apex MD
- Readers who want the advertised figure to be the standing figure, with no introductory step to price around.
- Patients who expect to use their follow-up visits and lab draws, since unlimited visits and Labcorp work sit inside the rate.
- Readers who want a straightforward month-to-month arrangement rather than a platform with a wider catalog attached.
YourHealthRx
- Readers who want a single-ingredient compounded GLP-1 rather than a preparation with added ingredients.
- Patients interested in a broader peptide catalog alongside a GLP-1 program, behind one account.
- Readers who budget against the ongoing rate and treat a discounted first month as a lower-cost way to find out whether treatment suits them.
Frequently asked questions
Why is the YourHealthRx figure here higher than the one on its own site?
Because the figure carried here is the ongoing monthly rate a patient reaches in month two, not the discounted first month YourHealthRx advertises. Comparing that introductory figure against Apex MD's standing rate produces a difference that does not exist past the first thirty days. The qualifier printed beside each figure says which kind of number it is, and that is the detail that decides this comparison on price.
Are these two selling the same medication?
No. Apex MD's compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide carry NAD, B-12, and L-carnitine in the same preparation. YourHealthRx dispenses the compounded GLP-1 itself. A monthly figure at one does not buy the same preparation as a monthly figure at the other. What is in Apex MD's product is stated because the company states it; what the added ingredients accomplish is not established, and nothing is invented to fill that gap.
Can I avoid the weekly injection at either one?
Yes, at both. Apex MD offers each compound as a weekly injection or a daily oral dose. YourHealthRx offers each as a weekly injection or a daily dissolving tablet. That makes this pair unusual — most providers in this comparison sell an injection and nothing else. Be honest about the trade: a daily form is easier to start and easier to forget than a weekly one.
Does either name the pharmacy that compounds the medication?
No, and neither displays a third-party accreditation seal. That absence carries extra weight at YourHealthRx, where a platform model already separates the patient from the parties doing the clinical and dispensing work. It carries extra weight at Apex MD for a different reason, since the preparation itself is not a standard single-ingredient product. On this dimension the two are equally uninformative.
Is YourHealthRx the clinic, or a middleman?
YourHealthRx sits at the technology and commerce layer, with eligibility and prescribing handled inside partner clinical operations. That is a common telehealth arrangement rather than a defect, but it changes who you call when something goes wrong. Ask at intake who reviews eligibility, who signs the prescription, who answers a side-effect question, and who handles a shipment. Apex MD publishes no operating entity of its own, so neither provider leaves much to look up.
