MadeMed review

By Alyssa Selinger, EditorPricing checked

MadeMed in brief

MadeMed fits someone who wants one price that never rises with the dose: compounded semaglutide injections run $239 a month on a quarterly plan, or $199 on six months, and tirzepatide $399. The catch is geography and commitment — injections ship to only 23 states, and every plan is billed three or six months at a time.

Our take on MadeMed

MadeMed's pitch is a single number per medicine. On its own product pages, injectable semaglutide is $239 a month at 0.25mg and still $239 at 2.4mg; injectable tirzepatide is $399 a month from 2.5mg through 15mg. The company explains why in its FAQ: when prices climb with each dose, every titration call becomes a revenue decision, and it wants its doctors out of that math. For a reader planning past the first two months, that matters more than an intro rate, because the dose you end up on is usually the expensive part elsewhere.

The trade is commitment. There is no month-to-month option on these pages. The quarterly plan bills $717 every three months for semaglutide and $1,197 for tirzepatide; the six-month plan lowers the monthly rate by $40 for semaglutide (to $199) and $30 for tirzepatide (to $369). One vial arrives every two months, with L-carnitine mixed in, syringes and swabs included, and overnight shipping in cold packaging at no charge. Doses only go up when you ask and the care team approves it, no sooner than about every four weeks.

Two tablet options sit beside the shots: oral semaglutide with vitamin B6 at $219 a month quarterly (from $179 on six months), and oral tirzepatide at $299 (from $279). These are sublingual tablets you dissolve under the tongue, shipped 60 at a time. Everything MadeMed sells for weight loss is compounded, so none of it is FDA-approved, and there is no route to Wegovy or Zepbound.

Check your state before anything else. The injection FAQs list 23 states, including Texas, Florida, Illinois and New York, while the tablets reach 40 states but skip Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Hawaii, Massachusetts, Missouri, New Mexico, New York, South Carolina and Virginia. A New Yorker can get the shot but not the tablet; someone in California, Ohio or Pennsylvania appears to be limited to the tablets.

Signing up, paying and canceling

What MadeMed's own site shows a new patient.

  • The intake is a short questionnaire — MadeMed estimates five minutes — and a doctor reviews it within 24 hours. If you are not prescribed, you get a full refund minus a $39 doctor visit fee, a term printed right under the Get Started button.
  • MadeMed says it emails you seven days before every charge with the exact amount and links to pause, skip or cancel, and that canceling is one click from the dashboard with no phone call required.
  • Pausing stops billing immediately rather than at the next cycle, according to the FAQ — useful if a side effect or a trip interrupts treatment.
  • Switching from another telehealth company does not mean restarting at the lowest dose: share your current prescription label or invoice during the consult and the doctor can continue you where you are. MadeMed quotes five to seven business days from consult to delivery for switchers.
  • Once dispensed, medication cannot be returned or refunded under MadeMed's returns policy; damaged or wrong orders must be reported within seven days of delivery.

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

  • Tirzepatide at $399/mo is roughly three times the cheapest flat rate we rank, and the quoted rate is a quarterly commitment
  • Injections ship to only 23 states (tablets reach 40) — 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

MadeMed: common questions

How much does MadeMed cost?

Compounded semaglutide injections cost $239 a month on a quarterly plan or $199 a month on six months, and tirzepatide injections $399 or $369. The sublingual tablets run $219 (semaglutide) and $299 (tirzepatide) a month quarterly. The price is the same at every dose and includes the doctor consult and shipping.

What states does MadeMed serve?

It depends on the medicine. MadeMed's injectable semaglutide and tirzepatide are offered in 23 states, among them Texas, Florida, Illinois, Georgia and New York. The oral tablets are offered in 40 states, excluding Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Hawaii, Massachusetts, Missouri, New Mexico, New York, South Carolina and Virginia.

Can you cancel MadeMed anytime?

You can cancel with one click from your dashboard, and MadeMed emails seven days before each charge so you can pause, skip or cancel first. Plans are billed every three or six months, though, and medication that has already been dispensed is not refundable.

Does MadeMed take insurance?

No. MadeMed's medicines are compounded rather than brand-name Ozempic, Wegovy or Zepbound, and its FAQ says insurance typically does not cover them. You pay the flat cash price, which covers the consult, the medication and shipping.

The verdict

Best for: Anyone who expects to titrate and wants the year-two cost visible before starting, with an oral route available without changing provider. Publishes its price at every single dose, so the cost of the dose you titrate to is knowable on day one rather than a surprise at month four.
