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.
Is MadeMed legit?
Yes. MadeMed is a real, operating US company, and we found no FDA warning letters issued to it. Its site shows LegitScript certification. We rate it 6.5/10 overall, across six areas from price to trust and safety. Legitimate is not the same as right for you, though: that part is a decision for you and a licensed clinician.
Is there a MadeMed promo or coupon code?
We know of no promo or coupon code for MadeMed. Its listed price is $219 a month. Coupon sites advertising "MadeMed discount codes" are not a source we can vouch for, and any genuine offer shows at checkout without a code.

How MadeMed scores
Six columns, each one computed from something MadeMed has published rather than from an opinion we formed: what it charges, which molecules it will dispense, what its record shows, and what the monthly figure actually buys. Where a seller keeps something back, such as its price or its pharmacy, the score reflects it. Every seller we review goes through the same six columns.
Value25%
3.2/10$239/month is 29% above the $185 median for compounded semaglutide across the sellers we compare. That figure is a multi-month plan paid up front, not a month-to-month rate, so the comparison flatters it.
Effectiveness25%
10.0/10Dispenses semaglutide and tirzepatide, compounded only. Anchored to SURMOUNT-1 (tirzepatide, -20.9%) and STEP 1 (semaglutide, -14.9%).
User Experience15%
8.0/10A price is shown before the questionnaire starts.
Trust & Safety15%
6.5/10No pharmacy is named for its prescriptions. It shows a price before asking for health information.
Accessibility10%
5.0/10No state list is available to check, so this is held at the midpoint rather than scored on reach.
Support10%
5.0/10States too little about what the monthly cost covers to score the bundle. Held at the midpoint rather than assumed.

What signing up with MadeMed involves
What to expect on the way to a prescription: where the price appears, who fills the medication, and what the monthly price covers. It is not medical advice, and a clinician makes the prescribing decision.
- 1MadeMed shows a price on its own site before asking anything about you, so you can compare it with other sellers before you start a questionnaire.
- 2MadeMed does not require a live video visit or baseline bloodwork before a first prescription.
- 3Ask MadeMed which pharmacy fills the prescription before you pay. The pharmacy's name is what lets you check its license.
- Lowest ongoing monthly price: semaglutide $239, tirzepatide $399. That leaves out membership fees, first-month rates and insurance copays.
- Confirm that MadeMed serves your state before you start.
- The medication is compounded, so it is not an FDA-approved product and has not been reviewed by the agency for safety, effectiveness or manufacturing quality.

Check the price yourself before you pay
Every figure here was read off MadeMed's own checkout on the date shown. Sellers move prices without announcing it, and promotional rates lapse, so confirm the standing cost on their site before committing.
In its favor
- 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
Against it
- Semaglutide costs $239 a month, 29% above the $185 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
What MadeMed charges
MadeMed charges $219/month.
- Compounded semaglutide: $239/month
- Compounded tirzepatide: $399/month
- Oral semaglutide: $219/month
- Oral tirzepatide: $299/month
For compounded semaglutide, the median across the sellers we compare is $185/month, so MadeMed's $239 is a premium, and a premium has to buy something. Check what is bundled before you accept it.
HumeCare+ dispenses semaglutide and tirzepatide from $199/month, which makes it the fair comparison to run before you commit here.
What MadeMed dispenses
MadeMed prescribes semaglutide (approved as Wegovy and Ozempic) and tirzepatide (approved as Zepbound and Mounjaro). Between them these are the two molecules with the largest published weight-loss trial programs behind them. The medication is compounded rather than dispensed as an approved pen. Compounding serves real clinical needs and is entirely lawful; what it is not is reviewed, and the cost difference reflects that.
A needle-free oral option is genuinely uncommon and is the reason some readers will look at MadeMed at all. Set expectations on the evidence, though: the published weight-loss trials for these molecules used injections. Oral and sublingual delivery of peptides is far less studied, so treat it as a route that solves the needle problem rather than as a proven equal to the shot.
Safety and disclosure
MadeMed tells you its price before you start the medical questionnaire. We found no FDA warning letters issued to MadeMed. Because the medication is compounded, the most useful question to ask at intake is which licensed pharmacy fills the prescription. If MadeMed will not tell you, treat that as a warning sign. How we weigh oversight, disclosure and price is set out in our scoring methodology.
Who should look elsewhere
- You care most about the twelve-month total, not the first bill. A flat-rate seller such as Collective will usually win that math.
- You want the FDA-approved pen specifically. Everything listed here is compounded.
- You need insurance to cover the cost. Check whether MadeMed bills your plan before you start.
It fits if
- injections are the thing keeping you from starting
Our read
MadeMed costs more than the middle of this market, and the oral option is the clearest thing that premium buys. If the extras it charges for are ones you would actually use, that is a defensible trade. If not, the same molecule is available for less. Eden is the nearest comparison we review, and worth reading alongside this.
The Bottom Line
MadeMed's strongest column is the clinical side: which molecules it will prescribe, and how it handles dosing.
Before you pay MadeMed
Starting at $219 a month. Check today's price, then start the intake.
Where MadeMed is the wrong choice
No seller suits every reader, and pretending otherwise is the easiest way to sell one. On these three counts, another seller does better.
- If you need the FDA-approved pen rather than a compounded vial, consider Sesame Care.
- If the standing monthly cost is what decides it, consider Collective (from $59/mo).
- If you want a human checking in, not just a prescription, consider ShedRx.
