Read our full Claya review →About MadeMed
Nothing is priced in public at MadeMed; the number waits inside the product pages or the checkout. Its catalog runs to four distinct products, compounded semaglutide and compounded tirzepatide, each offered as an injection or by mouth, so patients who dislike needles get more choice here than most rivals allow. A LegitScript certification badge is displayed, and unlike chat-only competitors it publishes a phone line for support.

Claya
What we like
- Shows its price before the medical questionnaire, so you can compare it without handing over health information
- The monthly price includes the medication and shipping
- We found no FDA warning letters issued to Claya
Watch-outs
- Semaglutide costs $299 a month, 63% above the $184 median for compounded semaglutide across the sellers we compare
- Tirzepatide costs $299 a month, 20% above the $250 median for compounded tirzepatide across the sellers we compare
- Confirm it serves your state before you start the intake
- Ask which pharmacy fills the prescription before you pay, so you can check its license
- Its semaglutide and tirzepatide are compounded rather than FDA-approved, so they have not been reviewed by the agency for safety, effectiveness or manufacturing quality
