Rex MD is a telehealth service owned by the proprietor LifeMD, formerly known as Conversion Labs.
The company started offering generic prescriptions for ED and male pattern hair loss. They have since branched into primary care, and they also offer care for:
Rex MD offers virtual on-demand access to licensed physicians in all 50 states. The service is designed to save you time on doctor’s office visits. To start with Rex MD, sign up on their website and answer some health-related questions ahead of the physician visit.
You’ll work with a doctor to assess your symptoms. Then, the doctor will make a diagnosis. After that, your prescriptions will arrive at your door in discreet packaging.
Rex MD may be good for those who are showing symptoms of either ED or male pattern hair loss.
According to a
ED symptoms can range from reduced sexual desire to the inability to keep an erection. It’s important to note that underlying health conditions may manifest in ED symptoms, such as:
With male pattern baldness, also called androgenetic alopecia, hair loss typically occurs on the top of the head and on the forehead hairline.
This hair loss is associated with a male sex hormone, the androgen dihydrotestosterone (DHT). If you have a close relative with baldness, you may be at a higher risk.
If you don’t have the time to make a doctor’s appointment to talk about ED or hair loss, Rex MD may be right for you. Also, if you’re embarrassed to address these conditions with your general practitioner, Rex MD may be a good option.
You don’t need an existing prescription to use Rex MD.
Rex MD has a simple process to get started with your medications.
Here’s how it works:
- Head over to rexmd.com and fill out the information for your free online consultation. You’ll check boxes about the results you’re interested in and enter other basic information like your email, name, height, weight, and information about your sex life. You’ll also need to upload a photo for authorization purposes, a photo ID, and a recent blood pressure reading.
- In some cases, the health history you complete may be enough to make a diagnosis and get your prescription. Rex MD will let you know within 24 hours. But you can always ask to be set up with a virtual doctor’s appointment if you want.
- If your assigned physician decides a prescription is right for you, Rex MD will send your prescription to your doorstep in discreet packaging with free 2-day delivery.
- You can reach your assigned physician through the site’s member portal at any time with questions, requests, or concerns. Follow-up appointments are free.
Rex MD offers medication and supplements targeting a small handful of health conditions, but it focuses largely on men’s sexual health and hair loss.
While there are many treatments available through Rex MD, here are a couple of its most popular prescriptions and product offerings.
Rex MD offers medications like generic Viagra, starting at $2 per 20 mg tablet, and daily generic Cialis, starting at $2 per 2.5 mg or 5 mg tablet. In addition to generic medications, REX MD also offers brand-name Viagra and Cialis, but the price will be significantly higher per ED pill compared to the generics.
Most insurance policies don’t cover telehealth services like Rex MD. However, the company offers flexible pricing depending on your needs and goals.
Subscription model
With your first monthly order, Rex MD includes a free online visit. This is so that one of their doctors can provide an assessment and write a treatment plan. After that, there’s a monthly recurring fee for refills of medications.
The company says that if, after you’ve completed your doctor visit, your doctor decides that you’re not a candidate for ED medications, they will fully refund what you’ve already paid and then provide advice for next steps.
For those with recurring prescriptions, charges happen, according to the company, on the same day each month thereafter, or with each billing period.
Rex MD says you can cancel at any time on your member account page.
The company provides discounts if you sign up for 3 months.
Rex MD says that all medications are delivered for free with FedEx overnight shipping.
The company says on its website that order fulfillment usually takes less than 1 day, so your order will arrive in 2 to 4 days. If you prefer overnight shipping, it’s available for an additional charge.

If you are concerned about erectile dysfunction, your sexual health, or recent hair loss, it’s a good idea to talk with a doctor. Many of the products offered at Rex MD require a prescription because they can sometimes have side effects that a doctor can help you address and manage.
One of the benefits of Rex MD is its telehealth option that allows you to meet with a doctor who’s licensed in your state to address your concerns.
Note: telehealth cannot replace in-person evaluation for complex hair loss.
But you may prefer to talk with your regular doctor, who can also prescribe similar medications and will be more familiar with your specific health history. Whether you choose to meet with a Rex MD licensed doctor or your own local doctor, you can discuss your options openly and honestly with them to build the treatment plan that is right for you.
Rex MD does offer a “Two Night Free Sample” of generic Viagra. It is worth noting that the sample is not entirely free — there is a $4.95 shipping fee — and you will need to create an account, meet with one of Rex MD’s doctors, and be prescribed the samples. Additionally, when creating your account, you will need to search by state to make sure there is a licensed Rex MD doctor that covers your location.
You’ll be charged on the same day each month, or at the beginning of the next billing cycle, for recurring prescriptions.
Rex MD offers ED and hair regrowth medication without an in-office doctor’s appointment.
Rex MD may be a good solution if you’re too busy to meet with a doctor or don’t want to discuss your symptoms with your regular physician.
You’ll pay out of pocket for these services, but they’re sometimes less costly than an insurance copay and what you’d pay at a pharmacy.
