Taurus Meds vs Royal Medical Center: Which TRT Service Fits You in 2026?

Last updated: September 28, 2026

Last verified September 28, 2026 · By TRT Provider Guide Editorial Team · Editorial research, not a hands-on review and not clinically reviewed · How We Review TRT Providers

Royal Medical Center here means the hormone clinic in Deerfield Beach, Florida (royalmedicalcenters.com), not any other clinic with "Royal" in its name.

In the Taurus Meds vs Royal Medical Center choice, Royal currently publishes the lower baseline price: $89 a month, or $1,068 for 12 payments, versus Taurus's $49 start plus $149 a month, or $1,837. Royal also has a live $75 page that conflicts with its current program listings, while Taurus's fee and prepayment terms conflict across its documents.

The provider links on this page are direct public-information links. We did not verify an active compensated enrollment link for Taurus or Royal on this page as of September 28, 2026.

Price is the easy part. The harder question is who will write your prescription, and whether that person is licensed where you live. Testosterone is a controlled drug, so that question matters more than $50 a month. The other thing to know before you pay is what you're stuck paying if you want out after month one. We put both companies' own documents side by side to answer both. A few of those documents don't agree with each other.

Taurus vs Royal at a glance

Sources: each company's public pages and terms, checked September 28, 2026. The year-one figures are our math on listed prices, not quotes.

Royal is the better fit if:

• Lowest current program-listing price matters most to you.
• You want labs and visits folded into one monthly fee.
• Injections are fine.
• Royal can tell you, before you pay, who will prescribe and that they're licensed in your state.

Taurus is the better fit if:

• You want a video visit with a clinician who, Taurus says, is licensed where you live.
• You want cancellation and refund rules in writing before you start.
• You'd like the option of a gel instead of shots.

Neither one yet if:

• Your low testosterone hasn't been confirmed by two early-morning blood tests.
• You want to have a child in the next year or two.
• You need insurance to pay for your care.

TRT Provider Guide is the independent decision resource for testosterone replacement therapy — helping U.S. adults understand how low testosterone is evaluated, compare online and local care models and providers, and choose the next step that fits their health needs, fertility plans, budget, state, and care preferences, with every material claim verified and dated.

The right TRT provider is not the same for every person. It depends on:

• whether low testosterone has been properly evaluated
• your symptoms and health history
• your fertility plans
• your state
• whether you'll use insurance or pay cash
• which treatment format you prefer
• your budget
• whether online or in-person care is the better starting point

Some situations belong with primary care, urology, endocrinology, reproductive urology, or urgent or emergency care when the symptoms warrant it. A general answer can't sort those out for you. That's why we built TRT Provider Guide's Find My TRT Path tool: it maps your situation to the right care route and the questions to ask before you pay.

This page is educational information, not medical advice. Chest pain, trouble breathing, sudden weakness on one side, or trouble speaking need emergency care right away.

Taurus Meds vs Royal Medical Center: what's the real difference?

Taurus Meds is an online platform. Its Terms name OpenLoop Health as a partner MSO, while OpenLoop's current consent says care comes from the professional practice identified for your visit. Royal Medical Center is a Florida hormone clinic that treats patients remotely and ships medication. Royal currently publishes the lower program price and clearer bundled lab-and-visit inclusions. Taurus publishes more about its platform structure and cancellation rules.

That structure explains almost every row below. Taurus says so plainly in its own footer: "Taurus is not a laboratory or a medical provider." You pay Taurus Medical, Inc., a Delaware company. Taurus's Terms name OpenLoop Health, Inc. as a partner MSO. OpenLoop's current telehealth consent says your care comes from the professional entity identified at the time of your visit, which may be an OpenLoop-affiliated or contracted practice.

Royal is the clinic. It lists an office at 1000 E Hillsboro Blvd in Deerfield Beach and a named physician.

Neither setup is automatically better. A platform can put a clinician licensed in your state on a video call. A clinic can give you one team that knows your chart. The question is which one gives you the answers you need before you pay.

Which is cheaper: Taurus Meds or Royal Medical Center?

Royal's current program-options page is cheaper at the low end: $89 a month comes to $1,068 for 12 payments, while Taurus comes to about $1,837 at its $49-plus-$149 offer. Taurus can reach $2,437 on month-to-month pricing described in a Taurus-issued 2025 advertorial. Royal also has a separate live $75 page, but because its current program listings show $89 and $195, we do not use $75 as the baseline until Royal confirms it.

Here's every published scenario, lined up from cheapest to most expensive:

Our math, using each company's published prices as of September 28, 2026. It assumes 12 months at the same price, no extra labs, no dose-related price changes and no tax. These are fee subtotals, not quotes, and the plans don't include the same drugs.

That last point matters. Royal's current $89 program and Taurus's $149 offer are the closest public price comparison, but they are still not the same package: Royal lists an estrogen blocker, while Taurus does not list one as a default. Royal's $195 plan is not just a pricier version of the same thing. It adds supporting medication you may not want or need. We cover those below.

Why Taurus's $149 might not be $149

Three Taurus documents describe its price three different ways:

1. The $49 offer page says medication is "$149/mo - all inclusive. No membership fees. No hidden fees."
2. Section 28 of Taurus's Terms of Service says that anyone who creates an account agrees to "a recurring membership fee of $17.99 USD per billing period," unless stated otherwise at purchase.
3. A December 2025 Taurus-issued promotional article that Taurus published through ACCESS Newswire (labeled promotional, with affiliate links) says $149 a month applies with a six-month prepayment of $894. It lists month-to-month pricing at $199 a month.

The current $49 page doesn't mention prepayment. So we can't tell you which rule your checkout will use. What we can tell you is the one question that settles it:

Send this to support@taurusmeds.com before you pay: "For the $149/month TRT plan, do I pay monthly or six months upfront? Will I be charged the $17.99 membership fee in Section 28 of your Terms? Please answer in writing."

Save the reply. It's your receipt if the bill looks different later. Our Taurus Meds cost guide walks through every Taurus fee scenario in more detail.

Why Royal's lower-priced plan has conflicting prices

Royal's current program-options page lists $89 and $195 a month, and its TRT category/all-programs pages show the same two prices. A separate live product page still says $75 a month, while older product-page metadata has carried "$89 first month, then $119/mo" wording. In Royal's shop, the $89 product has also been labeled "Testosterone Only Therapy" even though current program copy says it includes an estrogen blocker.

None of that proves a billing problem. It does mean Royal's public pricing pages are not fully harmonized. Ask one thing directly: "Which program can I enroll in today, and what will I pay in month two and every month after that?" Our Royal Medical Center TRT cost guide has the full price history.

What you've spent if you quit after month one

This is where the two companies really differ. Most comparison pages skip it.

Customer reports are single experiences, not verified policy.

One more date to know. Online clinics can prescribe controlled drugs like testosterone without an in-person visit because of a temporary federal rule. That rule currently runs through December 31, 2026 (Federal Register, Dec. 31, 2025). Nobody knows yet what replaces it. If you're asked to prepay months that run past that date, ask each company what happens to your plan if the rule changes.

If the lowest current published program-option price is your top priority, Royal's $89 option is below Taurus's $149 offer. Compare Royal's current program options (unpaid link), then send Royal the prescriber and cancellation questions further down this page before you enter a card.

---

Who writes your prescription, and are they licensed in your state?

At Taurus, the OpenLoop-supported platform connects you with a treating practice and clinician; Taurus says its clinicians are licensed in the state where they prescribe. Royal names one physician on its website. His Florida license is clear/active, while official records also show a 2021 Oregon disciplinary order, follow-on actions in other states, and a California license surrender effective October 9, 2024. Neither company publishes a clinician-by-state roster, so check your own prescriber's license.

Why this matters more than the price

Testosterone is a Schedule III controlled substance. That means federal law limits how it can be prescribed, because it can be misused. Your prescriber must comply with the licensing, controlled-substance registration and telemedicine rules that apply to your care. Ask any TRT company who your prescriber is, then verify that clinician with your state medical board.

What the public record shows for Royal's named physician

Royal's About page names Dr. Dagoberto Rodriguez, MD, Florida license ME58463. We checked his public licensing records on September 23, 2026.

• Florida: his license is active, with no current restrictions listed.
• Oregon, October 7, 2021: he signed a stipulated order with the Oregon Medical Board. The board found that he had prescribed to Oregon patients without an Oregon license, and that this broke a federal rule on who may issue controlled-substance prescriptions. He neither admitted nor denied the findings. He withdrew his Oregon license application and agreed not to reapply.
• 2022: his Florida public record has listed multiple follow-on actions by other state licensing bodies tied to the Oregon matter. The entries included reprimands, consent orders, a fine/CME requirement and a voluntary surrender in Louisiana.
• California, October 9, 2024: the Medical Board of California records a surrender of his California license after charging him based on the Oregon discipline. The California summary says there were no admissions on those charges.

Let's keep this in proportion. The Oregon order is five years old, the California surrender is from 2024, and his Florida license is clear/active today. Nothing in the record tells you how Royal treats patients now, and we're not suggesting otherwise.

What the record does show is that state licensing at a remote clinic isn't a formality. Royal also doesn't publish which clinicians cover which states. Recent Trustpilot reviews mention Royal clinicians by name who aren't listed on its website. So the fix is to ask. Our Royal Medical Center TRT cost guide has the full record with links to each board document.

How Taurus's setup works

Taurus doesn't name a physician on its TRT page. Its FAQ says it "partners with thousands of clinicians across the U.S. that are registered and licensed in the state for which they are prescribing medication." Its Terms name OpenLoop Health, Inc. as a partner MSO. OpenLoop's current consent says the treating professional entity is identified at the time of the visit and may be an OpenLoop-affiliated or contracted practice.

The catch: you won't know your clinician's name until your visit is booked. Ask for it then, and check it.

Check any prescriber's license in about 60 seconds

1. Get the full name of the clinician who will prescribe for you.
2. Search that name on your state medical board's license lookup, or at DocInfo.org, which is run by the Federation of State Medical Boards.
3. Confirm the license is "active" in your state, and read any listed board actions.

If a company won't give you a name before you pay, that tells you something.

The honest tradeoff

Taurus does not win on price. It costs roughly twice as much as Royal's cheapest plan. If the lowest monthly bill is your priority, Royal is the better deal. For you, Royal's plans or our Royal Medical Center alternatives are the better next read.

But Taurus uses a national telehealth platform/medical-practice network rather than a clinic site built around one named doctor. That gives you two published points to verify:

• a video visit with a clinician Taurus says is licensed where you live
• published rules for what happens to your money

For some men, that added written structure may be worth paying more than Royal's lower current published option.

Want the licensing question answered by the setup itself, not by a phone call? → Review Taurus's $49 blood test and video-consult offer When you book, ask for your clinician's name and look it up. A clinician decides whether TRT is right for you.

What's actually included: labs, visits and monitoring

Royal says its current $89 and $195 programs include labs, physicals and provider consultations, with follow-up labs required 90 days after treatment starts; the $195 page also lists medication, supplies and shipping. It doesn't publish the exact lab panel. Taurus's $49 covers the first blood test and consult, while its $149 offer covers prescribed medication if approved; it does not publish a complete follow-up lab schedule or cost.

We sorted every "included" claim into three buckets:

What "labs included" should mean

"Labs included" can mean one test or ten. Before treatment, the American Urological Association (AUA) says low testosterone should be confirmed with two total testosterone tests on separate early mornings, plus symptoms or signs that fit. Total testosterone is all the testosterone in your blood. The AUA treats a result below 300 ng/dL as a reasonable cutoff, a guide rather than a hard rule. The Endocrine Society likewise says to diagnose low testosterone only when symptoms or signs line up with results that are clearly and consistently low.

Once you start, monitoring usually includes three things:

• your testosterone level
• your hematocrit, the share of your blood made of red blood cells, which testosterone can push up
• for many men, PSA, a prostate blood test

So ask both companies the same thing:

"Which tests are in my first panel? Will you repeat an early-morning testosterone test before prescribing if my first result is borderline? Which tests are in the follow-up, how often, and are they included in my price?"

---

What medication will you get, and is it FDA-approved?

Both companies disclose compounded medication, but their public pages do not prove that every patient receives a compounded testosterone product. Compounded drugs are not FDA-approved, and FDA does not verify their safety, effectiveness or quality before marketing. Taurus names four partner pharmacies; Royal names Belmar Pharma Solutions and says actual medication may vary. Ask what exact finished product and pharmacy would apply to you.

Compounded vs FDA-approved, in plain words

FDA-approved testosterone products have been through the FDA's review. Compounded testosterone hasn't. It's legal when prescribed for a patient, but the FDA says compounded drugs are not FDA-approved. They aren't checked the same way for safety, effectiveness or quality. Royal says the same thing in its own disclaimer: "The FDA does not verify the safety, effectiveness, or quality of compounded drugs offered at our clinic."

Compounding can serve a medical need when an FDA-approved product is not appropriate. The point is to know which product you are actually getting and why.

What each plan ships by default

"Off-label" means a doctor is using an approved drug for something the FDA didn't approve it for. It's legal and common, but it's worth knowing.

Royal's default estrogen blocker

This is easy to miss. Royal's current $89 and $195 descriptions include an estrogen blocker. Its separate live $75 page also says an estrogen blocker is included, despite the "Testosterone Only Therapy" title. Some men on TRT do develop high estrogen and may need one. Many don't. In February 2026, one verified Royal reviewer wrote that a provider "insisted I take an AI even though my levels were fine." (An AI here is an aromatase inhibitor, the class of drug an estrogen blocker belongs to.) That's one person's report, not a pattern we can prove. It's still a fair question to ask: "Will I only get an estrogen blocker if my labs show I need one?"

Which pharmacy fills your order

Taurus names its pharmacies only at the bottom of its Terms of Service:

Royal lists Belmar Pharma Solutions as a dispensing pharmacy, while its medication disclaimer says the actual product and pharmacy can vary.

Ask either company: "Is my testosterone an FDA-approved product or compounded, and which pharmacy will fill it?" We cover the Taurus side in depth in our Taurus Meds testosterone cypionate guide.

---

Can you cancel, and do you get money back?

Taurus publishes its rules. You must cancel at least 72 hours before your billing date, and ordinary cancellation does not produce a refund. Taurus says medically disqualified patients can receive a refund, but its Terms separately say blood work is non-refundable. Royal says it refunds the program payment if you're medically ineligible, but it does not publish post-start cancellation terms. Get Royal's agreement in writing before you pay.

Taurus: what's written down

From Taurus's refund policy (updated February 28, 2026) and Terms:

• You're charged when you finish the intake form.
• If a clinician disqualifies you, Taurus's refund policy says a refund is issued for the remaining Subscription Service charges; its TRT page also says ineligible patients will be refunded. Its Terms separately say blood work is non-refundable, so confirm how the $49 is handled.
• If you cancel for any other reason: "IN NO EVENT SHALL YOU BE ISSUED A REFUND UPON CANCELLATION."
• Timing: cancel at least 72 hours before your billing date. Otherwise you're billed again.
• Blood work and shipped medication can't be refunded.

There's also a wrinkle. Taurus's $49 page advertises a "Taurus Advantage Guarantee": a full refund if you don't "see serious results within 90 days," minus lab and pharmacy fees. That guarantee does not appear in the general refund policy we checked. If it matters to you, ask Taurus how to claim it, and get the answer in writing.

Royal: what isn't written down

We couldn't find a cancellation or refund policy for Royal patients who've started treatment. Two clues from customers and from Royal itself:

• In a 2023 reply to a Trustpilot reviewer, Royal wrote that "certain terms outlined in the signed agreement do apply."
• An August 2024 reviewer wrote: "You will be billed for 2 months at time FYI."

Neither of those is a published policy. Both are good reasons to ask Royal for a copy of its patient agreement before you pay.

Where do Taurus's and Royal's own pages disagree?

Both companies publish claims that do not line up cleanly across their own pages. Taurus's sales page says "no membership fees" while its Terms describe one, and its 90-day results guarantee is not in the general refund policy. Royal's current program pages show $89 and $195 while a separate live page still shows $75, and its "testosterone only" naming conflicts with copy that includes an estrogen blocker. None of this proves bad faith, but each conflict is a question to settle before you pay.

No other page we found lines these up. We checked every claim against the company's own documents on September 28, 2026:

Taurus Meds vs Royal Medical Center reviews: what customers say now

Trustpilot is useful here only as a customer-experience signal. On the latest profiles we could inspect, Taurus showed 4.3 from 884 reviews, with 882 in the last 12 months; Royal showed 4.6 from 2,031 reviews, with 8 in the last 12 months. Many Taurus reviews discuss erectile-dysfunction products rather than TRT, so neither average is a clean measure of current TRT care.

Here's how we read it. Royal's 4.6 is built mostly from older reviews because only 8 reviews appeared in the last 12 months. Taurus's 4.3 is dominated by recent reviews, but many discuss a different product. Neither score tells you much about TRT at either company today. The recent written complaints are more useful than the stars.

A few recent, real reviews, quoted as written. Each is one person's experience, not proof of typical service or results:

"Received quick response from the doctor, approval, etc … But there was a blip between approval and knowing when I'd receive the medication." — Andy, Taurus, 4 stars, September 2026

"He gets my orders in so quickly and is so responsive when I have a question." — Darvin Jackson, Royal Medical Center, 5 stars, April 28, 2026

"Didn't listen to what I had to say at all, just shut me down." — Matthew Beachy, Royal Medical Center, 3 stars (verified), updated February 16, 2026

On the Taurus side, recent one-star reviews describe refund denials and support that was hard to reach. In one, the reviewer says they paid for three months upfront, the medication shipped one month at a time, and they got no refund on the unshipped months. These reviews don't always say which product they're about.

---

How fast can you start, and what are the steps?

Taurus says it takes one to two weeks on average from purchase to medication. You pay $49, get a blood test, then have a video visit. Royal starts with a consultation and lab work but doesn't publish a timeline. At both companies, a clinician must approve you before anything is prescribed.

Taurus, step by step (as Taurus describes it):

1. Pay $49 and complete the intake form. You get lab instructions right away.
2. Get your blood drawn at Labcorp or Quest. If neither is within 50 miles, Taurus says it sends a home kit at no extra charge.
3. Pay for your medication plan and book a video visit with a clinician.
4. If the clinician prescribes, medication ships to you.

Royal, step by step (as Royal describes it):

1. Book a consultation, by phone (1-800-625-3837) or online.
2. Complete lab testing and a review of your health history.
3. If approved, medication, supplies and instructions ship to your home.
4. Get follow-up labs at 90 days, then a physical "annually or as directed."

Switching from another clinic? Taurus says you'll still take its assessment and get a plan based on your current levels. Royal doesn't say whether it accepts outside labs, so ask. Either way, don't stop, overlap or change medication on your own. Let the new clinician manage the handoff.

---

Will Taurus or Royal TRT affect your fertility?

It can. Testosterone therapy can lower sperm production, sometimes a lot. If you want a child in the next year or two, see a urologist or reproductive urologist before starting either program. Drugs some clinics pair with testosterone, like gonadorelin, enclomiphene or clomiphene, aren't a promise that fertility will be protected.

Both the AUA and the Endocrine Society advise against starting testosterone in men who are trying to conceive or planning to soon. Royal's site markets clomiphene and enclomiphene as supporting "sperm volume" and "testicular function." Those drugs aren't testosterone. Clomiphene is only FDA-approved for women's ovulation problems, and enclomiphene isn't FDA-approved for anything. Neither is a guarantee.

This is a decision for a specialist, not a price table.

Do Taurus Meds or Royal Medical Center take insurance?

Taurus presents this TRT offer as cash-pay and says it is "exploring" insurance. Royal's public TRT pages do not give a clear insurance-coverage policy, so we cannot honestly label Royal cash-only from the pages checked. If insurance coverage is essential, start with your plan and an in-network clinician, then confirm coverage for the visit, testing and exact prescription separately.

HSA/FSA eligibility depends on the expense and your plan rules; the pages checked do not establish one universal itemized-receipt process for both companies. Your plan may ask for one. For the details on Taurus, see does Taurus Meds take insurance.

---

Which should you choose: Taurus Meds or Royal Medical Center?

Start with Royal if the lower current published program price matters most and Royal can confirm the current rate, cancellation terms and prescriber for your state before you pay. Start with Taurus if you want its video workflow, a listed gel option and published cancellation rules—and you get its fee and prepayment questions answered in writing. Pick neither yet if low testosterone is not properly confirmed, fertility is a near-term priority, or insurance coverage is essential.

Does that sound like you? Video visit, gel option, rules in writing? → Review Taurus's current $49 lab-and-consult offer

Price comes first for you? → See Royal's plan options (unpaid link)

---

What if neither Taurus nor Royal fits you?

Then choose by your reason. Insurance-first care or a preference for a specific FDA-approved product may point to an in-network primary-care clinician, urologist or endocrinologist rather than either provider. Near-term fertility points to a reproductive urologist. A complex health history may need primary care, urology or endocrinology. If you still want online care, compare other programs on the same rows before you pay.

We'd stop comparing these two if any of these is true:

• You've had only one testosterone test, or none. Get the second early-morning test first.
• You want children soon. See a reproductive urologist.
• You have a history of prostate or breast cancer, a very high hematocrit, untreated severe sleep apnea, or a recent heart attack or stroke. Start with an in-person doctor.
• You're worried about a pituitary or testicle problem. Primary care, urology or endocrinology comes first.
• You need insurance to pay. Go through your plan.
• Neither company will answer your prescriber, fee or cancellation questions in writing.

Still want online TRT, just not these two? We compare other programs, including Male Excel and Hone Health, on the same rows in our Royal Medical Center alternatives guide.

What should you ask Taurus or Royal before you pay?

Ask both the same questions in writing, so you can compare the answers. A company that can't tell you your total commitment, your prescriber, your medication and pharmacy, your lab schedule, and what happens if you cancel hasn't given you enough to make a roughly $1,000-to-$2,400-plus annual decision.

The 12-question checklist

Money

1. What is my total minimum commitment? Do I pay monthly or upfront?
2. What fees can appear besides the advertised price?
3. What do I pay if I cancel after month one?

Care

4. Who will prescribe for me, and are they licensed in my state?
5. Which blood tests do you require before treatment? Will you repeat an early-morning test if needed?
6. Which labs happen during the first year, how often, and are they included?
7. How fast can I reach a clinician with a medical question?

Medication

8. What exact testosterone product would I get? Is it FDA-approved or compounded?
9. Which pharmacy fills it?
10. Will you add an estrogen blocker or other drugs? Only if my labs show a need?

Exit

11. How do I cancel, and how much notice do you need?
12. How do I get copies of my labs and records if I switch providers?

Two emails you can copy

To Taurus (support@taurusmeds.com):

Hi, before I buy the $49 TRT offer: (1) For the $149/month plan, do I pay monthly or six months upfront? (2) Will I be charged the $17.99 membership fee in Section 28 of your Terms? (3) How do I claim the 90-day guarantee on your offer page? (4) Is the testosterone FDA-approved or compounded, and which pharmacy fills it? Thanks.

To Royal (1-800-625-3837, or the email on its contact page):

Hi, before I sign up: (1) Which TRT plan can I enroll in today—the $89 plan shown on your current program page, the separate $75 page, or another price? What will I pay from month two onward? (2) How often am I billed? (3) What are your cancellation and refund terms after I start? Can you send your patient agreement? (4) Who would prescribe for me, and is that clinician licensed in the state where I will receive care? (5) Which lab tests are included, and how often? Thanks.

Save both replies. If a company won't answer, you have your answer.

What we actually verified

Checked: September 28, 2026 (prices, terms, pharmacies, reviews and federal guidance). Licensing records re-checked against current Florida status and official Oregon/California records.

Sources we read:

• Taurus: its $49 TRT offer page, its Terms of Service (updated June 24, 2025) and its refund policy (updated February 28, 2026). Also its December 2025 promotional article on ACCESS Newswire.
• Royal: its "Testosterone Cypionate – Program Options" page, current TRT/category pages, separate $75 product page, $89 and $195 product pages, men's FAQ and About page.
• Public records: the Florida Department of Health practitioner profile, the Oregon Medical Board stipulated order (effective October 7, 2021), and the Medical Board of California's 2024 surrender record.
• Other sources: Trustpilot profiles for both companies, HHS/DEA telemedicine guidance, and FDA, AUA and Endocrine Society guidance.

Facts we confirmed: Taurus's current $49/$149 offer, its Section 28 fee clause and refund/cancellation language; Royal's current $89/$195 program listings plus the conflicting live $75 page; provider-stated program contents and named pharmacy relationships; the current Florida license status and official Oregon/California actions; the latest Trustpilot profile figures we could inspect; and the December 31, 2026 federal telemedicine-extension date.

What the companies say that we couldn't independently test: "all inclusive," "no hidden fees," clinician state licensing (Taurus), the 1–2 week timeline, which exact labs are included, delivery performance and shipping promises.

Customer-experience signals (single reports, labeled as such): two-month billing (Royal), a prepay with no refund (Taurus), and an estrogen blocker a provider "insisted" on (Royal).

What we could not confirm:

• whether Taurus's $17.99 fee or six-month prepay applies to today's $149 offer
• Taurus's follow-up lab costs
• Royal's post-start cancellation terms, exact billing cadence and clinician-by-state coverage
• the names and licenses of Royal's other clinicians
• whether a given patient at either company gets an FDA-approved or compounded testosterone product
• either company's medical-records process

What this page is not: a hands-on review. We didn't enroll, pay or receive care at either company. TRT Provider Guide is not a clinic, pharmacy, laboratory, insurer or medical practice.

We compared both companies using How We Review TRT Providers. That method separates verified facts, company claims, customer reports and our own conclusions. It calculates full cost instead of repeating a teaser price. It covers testing, clinician access, state availability, formats, medication and pharmacy transparency, fertility, monitoring, cancellation, support and how honest a company's claims are. It gives no scores.

Taurus Meds vs Royal Medical Center: FAQ

Is Taurus Meds or Royal Medical Center cheaper? Royal currently publishes the lower baseline price on its main program pages: $89 a month, or $1,068 for 12 payments. Taurus is about $1,837 at its $49-plus-$149 offer. Royal also has a separate live $75 page, but it conflicts with the current $89/$195 program listings, so confirm the enrollable rate before paying.

How much does Taurus Meds TRT cost per year? About $1,837 ($49 plus 12 × $149). It's $2,052.88 if the $17.99 fee in its Terms applies monthly, and $2,437 at the $199 month-to-month price in Taurus's December 2025 promotional article. Confirm which applies before paying.

How much does Royal Medical Center TRT cost per year? $1,068 or $2,340 on the current $89 or $195 program listings, assuming the price does not change. A separate live $75 page would equal $900 for 12 payments if Royal confirms that rate is still enrollable.

Does Taurus charge a membership fee? Its offer page says no. Its Terms describe a $17.99 recurring fee "per billing period" unless stated otherwise at purchase. Ask in writing.

Does Royal Medical Center include blood work? Royal says labs are included, with follow-up labs required at 90 days. It doesn't list which tests.

Does Taurus Meds include labs? The $49 covers the first blood test and consult. Follow-up lab costs aren't published.

Is Taurus or Royal testosterone FDA-approved? Both disclose compounded medication, but the public pages do not prove every patient receives compounded testosterone. Ask for your exact finished product and pharmacy; compounded drugs are not FDA-approved.

What pharmacy does each use? Taurus names RedRock Pharmacy, Health Warehouse, Precision Compounding Pharmacy and Triad Rx in its Terms. Royal names Belmar Pharma Solutions.

Can I get testosterone gel instead of shots? Taurus lists a gel. Royal's TRT plans are injections.

Does Royal make you take an estrogen blocker? Its current $89 and $195 descriptions include an estrogen blocker. The separate $75 page also says an estrogen blocker is included despite its "testosterone only" title.

How do I cancel Taurus Meds? Contact support at least 72 hours before your billing date. There's no refund after you cancel, except if a clinician disqualifies you.

How do I cancel Royal Medical Center? Royal doesn't publish its cancellation terms. Ask for its patient agreement before you pay.

Is Royal Medical Center legit? It is a Florida clinic with a published Deerfield Beach address. Its named physician has a clear/active Florida license, plus a 2021 Oregon disciplinary order, follow-on state actions and a California license surrender effective October 9, 2024. Check the actual prescriber assigned to you.

Is Taurus Meds legit? It's a real Delaware company whose Terms name OpenLoop Health as a partner MSO and four partner pharmacies. Taurus presents this TRT offer as cash-pay and publishes a no-refund rule for ordinary cancellation, subject to its separate medical-disqualification language.

Do either take insurance? Taurus presents its TRT offer as cash-pay. Royal's public TRT pages do not publish a clear insurance-coverage policy, so confirm with Royal and your insurer rather than assuming coverage.

Will TRT from Taurus or Royal affect my fertility? It can lower sperm production. See a urologist or reproductive urologist first if you want children soon.

Which has better reviews? The latest Trustpilot profiles we could inspect showed Royal at 4.6 and Taurus at 4.3, but Royal had only 8 reviews in the last 12 months while Taurus had 882. Taurus's recent reviews also mix TRT with other products, so the averages are not clean TRT comparisons.

Will online TRT still be allowed in 2027? The federal rule that lets clinicians prescribe testosterone by telehealth without an in-person visit runs through December 31, 2026. What comes next hasn't been announced. Ask each company about its plan.
