Eden at $239 a month, against Direct Meds' $249. Those are all the cheaper sellers compared here.
TMates, at 7.6/10 and $249 a month, followed by Independent Wellness at 7.4. Direct Meds scores 6.4. Our score weighs price, medication, trust and access together, so check the one that matters most to you in the table.
RxSpan MD, Wellorithm and Eden, plus 4 more in the table. Direct Meds does not publish its states.
Yes: RxSpan MD, Luvo Health and MEDVi sell FDA-approved brand-name pens. Direct Meds sells compounded medication, which costs less but has not been through FDA review.
Usually not. A new seller's clinician writes a fresh prescription after reading your history, and a compounded prescription is tied to the pharmacy that filled it. Before you switch, note the medication, the dose you reached and the pharmacy, and do not change your dose on your own while you move.
