Visit ShedRxThe verdict
Winner: ShedRx
ShedRx takes it with a higher Verdict Score — 87/100 to 84/100 (grade B+ vs B). People who want options rather than one route: a needle-free form, a brand pathway, or coaching included instead of sold separately. MadeMed still earns its place — anyone who expects to titrate and wants the year-two cost visible before starting, with an oral route available without changing provider.
Neither of these is our overall #1. That title goes to CoreAge Rx (94/100) — the most honest middle of the market: nationwide access, both molecules at one flat, no-surprise price.

MadeMed
What we like
- One flat price at every dose, published dose by dose — semaglutide 0.25mg to 2.4mg, tirzepatide 2.5mg to 15mg
- LegitScript verified, with board-certified physician review and US compounding pharmacies
- Full refund minus a $39 physician-visit fee if you are not prescribed — stated before checkout, not buried in terms
- Oral semaglutide and oral tirzepatide offered alongside the injections, with free overnight shipping and supplies included
The caveats
- The most expensive tirzepatide on this board at $399/mo quarterly
- Available in 40 states rather than nationwide — check yours before starting
- Compounded only, with no brand-name pathway
- Ships one vial every two months, a less flexible cadence than a monthly refill
ShedRx
What we like
- Four routes to a GLP-1 — injection, liquid drops, lozenges and an oral daily pill — plus brand Zepbound and Wegovy
- Tirzepatide $299/mo month-to-month falling to $239 on a twelve-month plan; semaglutide $199 falling to $159
- Health coaching included with membership rather than upsold
- Publishes a 120-day weight-loss guarantee, which almost nothing else here offers
The caveats
- The advertised "as low as $239" tirzepatide rate requires committing to twelve months — month-to-month is $299
- Compounded medication is not FDA-approved the way brand Ozempic, Wegovy, or Zepbound are
- The dispensing compounding pharmacy is not publicly named
