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.

A summer promotion puts compounded semaglutide injections at $179/mo to start. OnlyRx takes cash only and sells both molecules two ways, injected or as oral disintegrating tablets (ODT), so a needle can be avoided; branded GLP-1s are written where appropriate. Prescribers are named, as is a fulfillment network of four pharmacies. All 50 states are served, and Buy Now Pay Later is offered.

MadeMed
What we like
- Shows its price before the medical questionnaire, so you can compare it without handing over health information
- We found no FDA warning letters issued to MadeMed
Watch-outs
- Semaglutide costs $239 a month, 30% above the $184 median for compounded semaglutide across the sellers we compare
- Tirzepatide costs $399 a month, 60% 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
