RxSpan MD GLP-1

Product Details

What Is RxSpan MD GLP-1?

RxSpan MD is a telehealth platform offering physician-guided GLP-1 treatment plans for weight management. The service was founded by Dr. John Diaz, a board-certified plastic surgeon with more than 20 years of experience, who built RxSpan MD to extend patient care beyond aesthetics into weight loss, hormone balance, and longevity. 

Patients can choose between compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide or brand-name options including Wegovy, Zepbound, and Ozempic, available in injection, capsule, or microdose formats. The platform pairs each prescription with a licensed provider and unlimited follow-up support.

Who Is RxSpan MD GLP-1 For?

RxSpan MD GLP-1 plans target adults looking for a structured, provider-supervised approach to weight management rather than a self-directed one. 

The platform suits people who want flexibility between compounded and brand-name medication, along with those who prefer capsule or microdosing formats over standard injections. 

It is not intended for anyone with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma, Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2, or pregnancy, and a licensed provider determines final eligibility during the virtual consultation.

How RxSpan MD Supports The Body?

GLP-1 medications like semaglutide and tirzepatide are synthetic versions of the naturally occurring incretin hormone GLP-1. They activate GLP-1 receptors in the brain, gut, and pancreas, which supports appetite regulation, slows gastric emptying, and promotes a fuller feeling after meals. 

Tirzepatide works similarly but also activates GIP receptors, giving it a dual-hormone approach. These effects support healthy blood sugar balance and gradual, sustained weight management rather than an immediate fix.

RxSpan MD GLP-1 Medications

RxSpan MD organizes its GLP-1 lineup into three categories: compounded, brand-name, and microdosing options, letting patients and their provider settle on a format that fits their plan and budget.

Compounded GLP-1

• Semaglutide Injection ($249) – a weekly, self-administered compounded injection for patients starting or continuing semaglutide therapy
• Semaglutide Capsules ($249) – an oral compounded option for patients who prefer to avoid injections
• Tirzepatide Injection ($329) – a compounded injection combining GLP-1 and GIP receptor activity
• Tirzepatide Capsules ($349) – an oral compounded version of tirzepatide

Brand Name GLP-1

• Wegovy® ($1,349) – the FDA-approved semaglutide injection indicated for chronic weight management
• Zepbound® ($1,069) – the FDA-approved tirzepatide injection indicated for chronic weight management
• Ozempic® ($1,299) – the FDA-approved semaglutide injection originally indicated for type 2 diabetes and commonly prescribed off-label for weight management

Microdosing GLP-1 RxSpan MD also lists a microdosing category for patients easing into treatment with smaller, gradually titrated doses. Specific microdose products and pricing are set with a provider during the consult, since the plan is tailored to each patient’s starting point and tolerance.
