“I'm just starting out with AltRx and the rep who really, really helped me, Natalie, was so wonderful. She gave me info on the plan and answered all of my questions and concerns. I hope everyone at AltRx is this helpful. Wish me luck. I was able to join the plan with no hassles.”

“I am going on 3 months with Altrx and it hasn't been bad. I read these negative reviews and I find it hard to believe that we are all with the same company. They always respond to my messages with in 24 hours. I receive my shipment of tirzepatide with in a couple days after I follow up. Plus they haven't bumped my price it's been $148 since I started. I like Altrx. Plus I've lost 10 pounds. The only side effect I have is being sleepy but it's getting better.”

“Great company that takes care of my needs promptly. I'm seeing a lot of negative reviews but I can't help but think they may be coming from another provider. This company is great and takes care of me and my family quickly and they are very customer service oriented. My order came in correct and even after taking a break, was able to use the medication at have at a different dose. They didn't try to sell me another beginner dose. A+”

“Ive be been using AltRx for 4 months (out of a 6 mo subscription) after switching from another company. Not a single problem. Ive communicated with customer service multiple times and received prompt responses. Ive continually lost 4-5 pounds a month. They accidentally billed me once but after contacting them, I was refunded immediately. Ive been really happy with my experiences using them.”

“I don't understand all of the bad reviews because I've had a great experience so far! Paige my care consultant (maybe AI but idk) helped me get a discounted rate and answered all of my questions! I had previously been taking GLP1 from a Medspa and they were great but the price was Insane and it stopped working for me there. With AltRX I've lost 8 lbs and it hasn't even been a month yet since I started.”

“I joined in June 2026. At first I was worried cause the ad I saw said $129 a month for tirzepatide but when I signed up they said it was an error and it would be $149 a month forever. And so far it's been great. My dose has increased but my price hasn't. I haven't had any trouble with communication via messaging them. My experience so far has been great, but I am not a social person I appreciate them checking up on me monthly and not annoying me with weekly check ins.”

“I spoke to someone at Altrx last week. I told her I wanted a high dose of Triz since I have been on Triz for one year. My order arrived today, a week after ordering. Everything went very smoothly. The only concern was the tiny vial in comparison to other companies I previously ordered from. I just hope it works as it should.”

“I was very skeptical about ordering with this company but thankfully I was proven wrong for the most part. Once I was approved I received email stating that my prescription had been sent to the pharmacy for compounding. It took about 5 days but I finally received an email that it had been shipped & I received it the next day. Total process took about 8 days total. Paige was great about texting me back if I had questions but customer service never responded back to me. However, I did receive them & I'm happy that everything has worked out so far. Overall experience - very satisfied.”

“I'm on my third month with altRx and while my first two months were very smooth, this third one has been terrible. My refill order has yet to be fulfilled with zero reason as to why. Customer service says they requested to “expedite it” but nothing yet. We shall see. I've been happy otherwise.”

“I was looking for a telehealth that utilized the same pharmacy I was already using, and AltRx was one of the ones. Ordering through AltRx was almost a 3rd of the cost I spent the first 3 months through the FSA site. Everything else ran smoothly. I ordered 7/5 and received it today, 7/13. I paid through Afterpay, so they can't renew without my approval.”

“When the pricing at the company I had been using went up I knew I had to look for a better option. I was "only" looking for maintenance support, but it was not possible with many other companies, or they were more expensive, or had membership fees, or monthly billing, or bad customer service, or found other ways to take advantage of you. Checking out Eden on Trust Pilot made a world of difference. The high ratings for fair pricing, customer service, and support of the doctors was the deciding factor for me, and they were spot on. The people I have dealt with have been great, especially Nick who I spoke to the most, and they should all be commended!”

The bottom line

How we compare — and how to read this

We weigh the factors that actually change a patient’s experience: real price (and whether it’s compounded or branded), the medications and formulations on offer, shipping, pharmacy accreditation and the clinician model, insurance stance, and commitment. We name a top pick for most people, then lay the trade-offs out in full so you can override it when your priorities or insurance point the other way. Pricing is provider-reported and moves often — and compounded-drug availability shifts with FDA shortage status — so confirm the current details on the provider’s own site before enrolling. Affiliate relationships never change a program’s placement. This page is educational, not medical advice; see our disclaimer.
