Candor Rx review

What it is

Candor Rx is an online GLP-1 service that calls itself a marketplace platform: it connects patients with independently licensed providers and doesn't practice medicine itself. Its FAQ names the prescriber network, MD Integrations, and the pharmacy that may fill your prescription, Manifest Pharmacy in Greer, South Carolina. Its returns address lists Vigor Compounding LLC, doing business as both Candor Rx and Manifest Pharmacy, which suggests the platform and pharmacy are run by the same company. The site lists addresses in Sheridan, Wyoming, and Athens, Ohio. It treats adults 18 and older in 49 states, every state except Alaska, and doesn't accept insurance. Its FAQ describes broader ambitions across acute and chronic care, but today the site sells compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide.

How it works

You choose a medication, answer a short set of medical questions and, in some states, upload a photo ID and a selfie. A U.S.-licensed doctor reviews your answers, and you should hear back within about 24 hours; some states require a live chat or video visit, in which case a doctor contacts you to complete it. If you're prescribed, the pharmacy ships within about 48 hours of approval, with no signature required. You can message clinicians without limit through the patient portal, and you're contacted before each refill is billed and shipped. You can also ask for the prescription to go to a local pharmacy, though Candor says it can't guarantee pricing there. Klarna buy-now-pay-later is offered at checkout. Its FAQ explains that the photo ID and selfie are there because state rules require providers to see who they're treating, and that refills are billed only when they ship, based on the plan you chose.

Pricing transparency

Plan prices are clear once you reach the plans page. Compounded semaglutide is $190 a month on the monthly plan, $133 a month on a three-month plan, $119 on six months and $99 on twelve, which is billed as $1,188 up front. Compounded tirzepatide is $239 a month, then $196.33, $179 and $149, or $1,788 up front for a year. Every plan includes the clinician visit, unlimited chat and shipping, and the price doesn't change with your dose. The homepage headline of "$95/month. Any dose. Forever." doesn't match any of these plans, so don't count on it. You get a full refund if the physician can't prescribe, and you can cancel or change your plan any time before a refill ships. Once medication is charged and handed to the carrier, all sales are final. Lost packages are reshipped, and damaged ones should be reported to support.

Branded vs compounded

Candor offers compounded semaglutide and compounded tirzepatide, which it labels clearly as not FDA-approved. Its own pharmacy, Manifest Pharmacy, may fill your prescription, and its FAQ gives the pharmacy's address and phone number. One detail stands out: its returns policy says it doesn't currently ship refrigerated products. Compounded GLP-1 injections are often shipped cold, so ask how your medication is formulated and how it should be stored when it arrives. Brand-name Wegovy or Zepbound isn't offered. The site shows a LegitScript badge without a seal number that can be checked, so it isn't counted here. A search of the FDA warning-letter database under the Candor Rx, Vigor Compounding and Manifest Pharmacy names returned no letters.

Pros and watch-outs

The evidence behind what Candor Rx prescribes

We grade the molecules, not the marketing. Here is what the human data actually shows for each thing on their menu.

• What the semaglutide weight-loss trials actually showed

  STEP 1, STEP 4, and SELECT — the efficacy, the rebound, and the cardiovascular signal, read straight from the primary literature.

• Tirzepatide vs semaglutide for weight loss: what the trials actually support

  Most comparisons are cross-trial. Only SURPASS-2 and SURMOUNT-5 randomized one drug against the other — here's the precise distinction.

• Compounded vs branded GLP-1: regulatory status, sourcing and the evidence

  Compounded GLP-1 isn't FDA-approved, the shortage exception behind it ended in 2025, the FDA moved against mass-marketed copies in 2026, and the trial data belong to the branded product. Here's the precise picture.
