CareBareRX Review: $199 Is the Dose You Leave, Not the One You Stay On
CareBareRX's "$199" is real, and it is the price of the dose you are meant to leave behind. Its own catalogue publishes the whole ladder — semaglutide at $199 for 0.25 mg rising to $299, tirzepatide from $299 to $399 — and semaglutide is titrated upward over months by design. What CareBareRX does unusually well is name things: all four pharmacies that fill its prescriptions, with street addresses and phone numbers, and four prescribing physicians with NPI numbers. What it does not publish is when it charges you again: its product records describe a 28-day pack while every page says "/mo", and the difference between those two is one extra bill a year.

Monthly (12×/yr)
August 2026
CareBareRX states that it serves "all 50 states and Puerto Rico". Its own product records contradict that for several non-GLP-1 items, carrying no-ship lists as long as eleven states (AL, AR, AK, CT, IN, KY, LA, MI, MN, VT, WI) for the two-in-one hair product and the tablet forms of tadalafil and sildenafil, and "No ship state: AL" for others. NAD+ and sermorelin instead note that patients in those states "will be supplied by secondary pharmacies. Cost may vary." No no-ship list is attached to the GLP-1 products themselves, and no state is identified as requiring a synchronous video visit.

Pricing, per compound
CareBareRX prices each compound separately, so there is no single “CareBareRX” price — only a price per compound. The table below shows, for each one, the price it leads with in the “Advertised” column and what a reader actually pays if they stop after one cycle in “Walk-away”, cheapest first. The “Provider” column names the compound, not the company — every row on this page is CareBareRX.
| Provider | Advertised | Walk-away | True year |
|---|---|---|---|
Semaglutide — compounded "Weight Loss Treatments Starting at $199", corroborated by CareBareRX's own catalogue at the 0.25 mg dose. ⚠ That is the STARTING dose. The same catalogue publishes the ladder verbatim: ".25mg- $199 / .5mg- $249 / 1mg- $249 / 1.5mg- $299 / 2mg- $299" — so a patient titrated to a maintenance dose pays $299, half again as much, and semaglutide is designed to be titrated. ⚠ The rebill interval is not published: the product record says "4 Weekly Subcutaneous Injections" (a 28-day pack) while every page says "/mo". If it bills every 28 days the year is $2,587 rather than $2,388. Filed on CareBareRX's own monthly label because no 28-day interval is confirmed. Includes consult, medication and shipping; if no medication is prescribed the consult fee is $80. Verified · source | $199.00/mo | $199.00/mo | $2,388.00 $199.00 × 12 months |
Tirzepatide — compounded $299 at 2.5 mg and 5 mg, per CareBareRX's own published ladder: "2.5mg- $299 / 5mg- $299 / 7.5mg- $349 / 10mg- $349 / 12.5mg-$399 / 15mg- $399". Same unpublished rebill interval as the semaglutide row. The multi-month bundles are deliberately not quoted here: their descriptions are empty — no dose, no supply length, no cancellation terms — and the three-month bundle works out dearer per month than the one-month price, so no per-month rate can honestly be derived from them. Verified · source | $299.00/mo | $299.00/mo | $3,588.00 $299.00 × 12 months |
Ozempic® — brand, cash-pay $705 for the 2–4 mg pen, per CareBareRX's own catalogue and its /about price grid. ⚠ Its affiliate landing page quotes $749 for the same product; the catalogue figure is the one filed. Novo Nordisk sells Ozempic direct to self-pay patients for less than either. Verified · source | $705.00/mo | $705.00/mo | $8,460.00 $705.00 × 12 months |
True year assumes 13 payments a year for compounds billed every 4 weeks, and 12 for compounds billed monthly — see the arithmetic under each row.

Key terms
Show definitions
- Walk-away price
- What one cycle costs at the no-commitment, ongoing rate — what you actually pay if you stop after month one.
- True year
- The walk-away price multiplied by however many times a year it's actually billed — 12 for a calendar-month cycle, 13 for a four-week cycle.
- Four-weekly billing
- A cycle that repeats every 4 weeks rather than on the calendar month, so it bills 13 times in a year, not 12 — one extra charge a reader counting by "months" won't expect.
- Compounded
- Made to order by a pharmacy from raw ingredients, rather than dispensed as an FDA-approved, mass-manufactured product.
Bottom line
CareBareRX’s cheapest walk-away price is $199/mo (Semaglutide — compounded) — about $2,388 a year if you keep paying it every cycle. Check the pricing table above for every compound this provider sells before you commit to one.
Visit CareBareRXFrequently asked questions
Is CareBareRX really $199 a month?
At the starting dose, yes. $199 buys 0.25 mg of compounded semaglutide, and CareBareRX publishes what the next rungs cost in its own words: $249 at 0.5 mg and 1 mg, $299 at 1.5 mg and 2 mg. Semaglutide is meant to be titrated upward over the first months, so the $199 is the price of the dose most patients are moving away from. Tirzepatide starts at $299 and reaches $399. The price does include the consultation and shipping, which is not true everywhere.
How often will I actually be charged?
CareBareRX does not say, and its own documents point two ways. The GLP-1 product records describe "4 Weekly Subcutaneous Injections" — a 28-day pack — while every consumer-facing page and the FAQ say "month". A 28-day cycle comes round 13 times a year rather than 12, which at $199 is $2,587 instead of $2,388. Since no page states the rebill interval, this review files the monthly figure CareBareRX itself advertises and flags that the year cannot be computed from what it publishes.
Which pharmacy fills the prescription?
One of four, and CareBareRX names all of them with street addresses and phone numbers: Belmar Pharmacy in Scottsdale, Strive Pharmacy in Torrance, Epiq Scripts in Clovis and Casa Pharma Rx in Stafford. That is the most complete pharmacy disclosure on this site. It does not say which one fills a given order. Belmar received an FDA warning letter in March 2023 about compounding quality, which the FDA closed out in October 2023.
Why do some prices on the site not match each other?
Because CareBareRX publishes two different price grids. Its /about and /faq pages quote hair at $180 and sexual health at $120; its homepage and affiliate landing page quote both at $99. Its own product catalogue has no product at $99 in either category, and no NAD+ product at the $199 the pages advertise — the only one is $325. This review publishes the catalogue figures, because a price the seller's own system cannot produce is not a price.
