Provider review

RxSpan MD review

It will sell you the real drug or the copy — and prices the copy as a first month.

One of the few programmes here dispensing brand-name Ozempic, Wegovy and Zepbound beside the compounded version, so the choice is genuinely yours. Its own product cards, though, quote a first-month figure and never say what month two costs.

Price, exactly as they publish it

$249 / month month-to-month for compounded semaglutide, as a weekly injection or a daily oral capsule; $219/mo on a 3-month plan, $199 on 6 months and $194 only on 12. Brand-name Ozempic® $1,299/mo, Wegovy® $1,349/mo and Zepbound® $1,069/mo are sold separately at monthly-plan pricing. Consultation, medication, supplies, shipping and 24/7 support are inside the plan price — no membership and no visit fee

Semaglutide is prescription-only and compounded semaglutide is not the FDA-approved brand product — decide with a clinician. Prices are as the provider published them when we last checked; confirm current terms before you buy.

How Semawise makes money (plainly)

Here's the honest version: some of the links on this site are affiliate links, routed through the Katalys network. Click one and go on to start a treatment or buy something, and we may earn a commission — without costing you a single penny more. That's what keeps the lights on and the answers free. The part that matters: a commission never buys a softer review, a different price, or kinder pros and cons. What it does buy is position — affiliate partners are listed ahead of providers we have no relationship with, and we say so on each board rather than only here. Want the longer version? It's all in our full disclosure.

The verdict

Most of this board sells you one thing and explains why the other is unavailable. RxSpan MD sells both: the compounded copy of semaglutide, in a weekly injection or a daily capsule at the same price, and the actual FDA-approved branded product, at branded pricing. Whether that second route is worth its cost is a real decision rather than a rhetorical one, and very few programmes on this board let you make it. It is also unusually forthcoming about the parts of a compounded prescription that are normally invisible — all four compounding pharmacies are named on the homepage with phone numbers, and the founding physician is named rather than an anonymous medical team, so the two questions readers most often cannot answer about a compounder are answerable here before you pay. What holds it back is the pricing display. Every product card labels its figure as a first-month price and stops there; the rate you keep paying only appears if you open the plan picker, and the cheaper numbers alongside it are commitment terms rather than discounts you carry forward. Nothing here is dishonest — the plan picker is one click away and the recurring rate is in it — but the number that catches your eye is not the number you should be comparing. Read the plan picker before you read the card, and this is a straightforward, well-disclosed programme with an unusually wide choice.

The trade-off we'd want you to read first

Every product card labels its price "(For the first month)" and says nothing about what month two costs — the recurring rate is only visible if you open the plan picker

Who it suits, and who it doesn't

A good fit if

  • You have not decided between the branded product and a compounded copy, and you want one prescriber who will dispense either
  • You want to know which pharmacy will fill your prescription before you hand over any details, and to be able to ring them
  • You would rather take a daily capsule than a weekly injection, and you do not want that preference to cost more
  • You want a named physician standing behind the practice rather than an unnamed medical team

Look elsewhere if

  • You are comparing monthly costs across this board and reading the product cards — the figure they show is a first month, not a rate you keep
  • You are shopping on price alone, since the compounded line here sits mid-to-high against the cheapest sellers we track
  • You want baseline bloodwork or a monitoring schedule — none is required and none is offered
  • You are browsing with JavaScript off or on a very slow connection, because every page returns "No products found" until it renders
  • You want a dedicated weight-loss clinic rather than one arm of a practice that also runs hair, sexual health and longevity lines

How the programme actually works

RxSpan MD is a physician-led telehealth practice founded by Dr. John Diaz, a board-certified plastic surgeon, running weight loss alongside separate longevity, hair-loss and sexual-health lines. It compounds semaglutide and tirzepatide in two routes each — a weekly injection and a daily oral capsule, both priced the same within a molecule — and, unusually for this board, it will also dispense the genuine FDA-approved product: Ozempic, Wegovy, Zepbound and Mounjaro are all sold, at brand pricing, beside the compounded line. It names all four of its 503A compounding partners on the homepage with phone numbers, which most of this field does not, and it names the physician behind the practice rather than an anonymous medical team. Intake is a short online assessment with no labs and no video visit, it serves all 50 states, and it is LegitScript-certified. Two things to read carefully. Every product card shows its price labelled "(For the first month)" and does not say what month two costs — the recurring figure is inside the plan picker. And the cheaper numbers on the page are commitment rates: $194/mo semaglutide is twelve months paid up front, against $249 month to month.

What it does well

  • Sells the real FDA-approved product as well as the compounded copy — Ozempic, Wegovy, Zepbound and Mounjaro are all dispensed, so the choice is genuinely available rather than a marketing page
  • Names all four compounding pharmacies on the homepage with phone numbers — Belmar, Strive, Epiq Scripts and Casa Pharma Rx — so you can ring the pharmacy that would fill your order before you buy
  • Names the physician behind the practice, Dr. John Diaz, a board-certified plastic surgeon, instead of an unnamed medical team
  • Both routes are priced identically within a molecule — the daily oral capsule costs the same $249 as the weekly injection, so the needle question is not a pricing decision
  • A one-month plan genuinely exists at $249, so nothing forces a prepay to reach a usable price, and plans can be cancelled or changed at any time
  • Consultation, medication, supplies, shipping and unlimited 24/7 support are all inside the plan price — no membership fee and no separate visit fee
  • Registered-dietitian support is carried as a $0 line in its own catalogue rather than sold as an upsell
  • LegitScript-certified (#50405601) and available in all 50 states

The other trade-offs

  • The cheaper figures are commitment rates, not discounts you keep: $194/mo semaglutide means twelve months paid up front, and the rate you can buy a single month at is $249
  • At $249 the compounded line sits mid-to-high against the cheapest sellers on this board, and the brand-name route is priced steeply — Wegovy $1,349, Ozempic $1,299, Zepbound $1,069
  • Its two cheapest GLP-1 products — Semaglutide ODT at $179 and Tirzepatide ODT at $199 — exist in the site's own public product API but appear on no page a reader can reach, so they are not prices you can act on
  • Nothing on the site is legible without JavaScript: every product page returns "No products found" and "Total if prescribed $0" to a plain fetch, which is also what a screen reader or a slow connection may get
  • No labs or bloodwork are required or offered and no monitoring cadence is published, so this is a prescriber and a pharmacy rather than oversight
  • A multi-vertical practice — hair loss, sexual health, longevity and testosterone sit alongside weight loss — not a dedicated metabolic clinic
  • The legal entity behind the practice is not published anywhere on the site, so the only named party is the founding physician
  • Compounded semaglutide is not the FDA-approved product; the branded route here is a separate, much dearer purchase

If this one isn't it

If RxSpan MD is not it, these are not our favourites and they are not the ones that pay the most — each is the provider closest to this one that does better on the axis this one does worst on. The axis is named on every card, with both providers’ own published wording underneath, so you can check the claim rather than take it.

Any link on this page may earn us a commission if you go on to start care, at no extra cost to you — see our full disclosure. The cards above are chosen by the rule stated at the top of this section, which is computed from published figures and has no access to which providers pay us.

Before you buy

Semaglutide is a prescription medicine, and the compounded version is not the same regulated product as brand-name Wegovy or Ozempic. Whatever you decide, decide it with a clinician who knows your history — and go into that conversation with real numbers.

Where this sits on the board

RxSpan MD is one of 48 telehealth semaglutide programmes we track. The board puts every published price on one screen, ordered with the companies that pay us first — a mechanism we state there, on the page it applies to, rather than only in the small print.

Semaglutide is prescription-only and compounded semaglutide is not the FDA-approved brand product — decide with a clinician. Prices are as the provider published them when we last checked; confirm current terms before you buy.
