MadeMed
Publishes its price at every single dose, so what month six costs is knowable on day one.
Desk Score 82/100 (B−) · Verified August 2026
What we checked — August 2026: MadeMed's own plan pages, pricing, FAQ and policy pages, all read on the same visit.
What you're buying
MadeMed sells four GLP-1 products and prices each of them dose by dose on its own page, which almost nobody does. There is injectable semaglutide and injectable tirzepatide, both enhanced with L-carnitine, and sublingual tablet versions of each — the oral semaglutide adds vitamin B6. Beside the weight-loss line sit tadalafil, injectable and oral sermorelin, and NAD+ as an injection or a nasal spray.
The value here is legibility. On the injectable semaglutide page every strength from 0.25 mg to 2.4 mg is listed with its price, and every one of them is the same number. Same on tirzepatide from 2.5 mg to 15 mg, on the oral semaglutide tablet from 1 mg to 6 mg, and on the oral tirzepatide tablet from 3 mg to 7 mg. You can see on day one what month six will cost, which is the single most common thing sellers here hide. MadeMed is LegitScript verified, puts every order in front of a certified physician, uses US compounding pharmacies, and publishes a phone number, +1 (800) 582-1428, on every product page.
What it costs (and how it's billed)
Everything bills quarterly. In August 2026, injectable semaglutide was $239/mo, stated on the card as "Billed $717 every 3 months", falling to $199/mo on a six-month plan. Injectable tirzepatide was $399/mo, billed $1,197 every 3 months, falling to $369/mo on six months. The oral tablets are cheaper: sublingual semaglutide $219/mo, billed $657 every 3 months, from $179/mo on six; sublingual tirzepatide $299/mo, billed $897 every 3 months, from $279/mo on six.
So there is no month-to-month option at all. The smallest commitment MadeMed sells is a quarter, and the smallest single charge is $657 up front. That is a real barrier, and it sits oddly next to how open the rest of the pricing is.
Shipping cadence is the other thing to plan around. The injectables ship one vial every two months and the tablets ship sixty at a time, also a two-month supply — so a quarterly charge does not map to a quarterly delivery, and your dose "only changes when you request it, no automatic increases." The plan price includes the physician consultation, injection supplies, free overnight discreet shipping and the medication. If you are not prescribed, you get a full refund minus a $39 doctor visit fee, and that is stated before checkout rather than buried.
Who can order
This is the number that matters most and it is much smaller than the marketing implies. Both injectable FAQs name the same 23 states: Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Maine, Missouri, Montana, North Dakota, New Mexico, New York, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Wisconsin and Wyoming, with a note that MadeMed is working to expand. California, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan, North Carolina and Washington are all absent.
If you live outside that list, nothing else on the page matters. Check it before you read a price. To MadeMed's credit the list is published in full rather than gated behind the quiz, which is more than most of the wider services here manage.
How the intake works
Four steps and about five minutes of questions. A doctor reviews and prescribes within 24 hours, the medication ships overnight with everything included, and you inject weekly or take the tablet daily under your tongue. New patients start at the lowest strength and the physician steps the dose up gradually based on how you respond.
The FAQ set on each product page is genuinely useful and covers the things people actually ask — how to switch from another telehealth provider at your current dose, whether you need to send old records, how to pause, how to cancel, and whether you will be charged without warning. Support is the published phone line plus support@mademed.com.
What we'd want changed
The returns policy is the harshest thing on the site and it is not mentioned on any product page. Once medication is dispensed, all sales of prescription and over-the-counter products are final and non-refundable, and the consultation fee is non-refundable once the consultation has happened regardless of the outcome. Damaged, incorrect or lost orders must be reported within seven days. Those terms are defensible; hiding them behind a footer link while the product pages advertise a full refund minus a visit fee is not.
We would also like a month-to-month rung. MadeMed has built the most transparent dose pricing we have read and then made the entry point a $657 charge, which filters out precisely the cautious first-timer its flat pricing is designed to reassure. And the 23-state footprint deserves to be on the home page, not four clicks down inside a collapsed FAQ.
Bottom line
If you live in one of the 23 states MadeMed serves, this is the easiest GLP-1 price to understand in the entire field: one number per product, published at every dose, with the drug, the doctor, the supplies and overnight shipping inside it. Injectable tirzepatide at $399/mo is the most expensive we cover, and the oral tablets undercut the injections meaningfully. Just budget for the quarter, not the month, and read the returns page before you order rather than after.
Best for someone in one of MadeMed's 23 states who expects to titrate up and wants the eventual cost visible on day one. The sublingual tablets at $219/mo and $299/mo are the value here; the quarterly-only billing and the final-sale returns policy are what to weigh against it.
Is MadeMed legit?
Only what MadeMed publishes and what we could check ourselves — nothing inferred. See the methodology.
- Certification
- MadeMed publishes a LegitScript certification on its own pages.
- Where it ships
- 23 states, as published on the site.
- Last checked
- August 2026, against MadeMed's own pages.
- Published price
- MadeMed publishes a figure for semaglutide and tirzepatide — the qualifiers are in "What does MadeMed cost?" below.
- What it sells
- Compounded medication only, injectable and oral routes.
- Licensing & trust
- 90/100 on the scored dimension of that name — one of the six in our published methodology.
Checks out as far as the figures go, with one caveat: every price MadeMed publishes carries a condition, so the number on the site is not the monthly bill.
What does MadeMed cost?
Each figure exactly as MadeMed publishes it, with the condition attached to it spelled out.
Semaglutide
$239/mo billed $717 every 3 months (from $199/mo on 6 months); sublingual tablets $219/mo billed $657 every 3 months (from $179/mo on 6 months)
That is a prepay rate: $239 a month applies only if the whole term is paid up front, so the charge on your card is larger than the monthly number.
Because that figure carries a condition, it is held out of our "cheapest" rankings and out of the median we compute for semaglutide — only flat month-to-month rates compete there.
Tirzepatide
$399/mo billed $1,197 every 3 months (from $369/mo on 6 months); sublingual tablets $299/mo billed $897 every 3 months (from $279/mo on 6 months)
That is a prepay rate: $399 a month applies only if the whole term is paid up front, so the charge on your card is larger than the monthly number.
Because that figure carries a condition, it is held out of our "cheapest" rankings and out of the median we compute for tirzepatide — only flat month-to-month rates compete there.

Weigh MadeMed against the full ranked field on the best semaglutide providers ranking, or line it up against its closest alternatives. Or go one-on-one: MadeMed vs CoreAge Rx. Because MadeMed dispenses compounded medication, it’s worth understanding whether compounded GLP-1 is legit and safe.
Desk Score breakdown
Each of the six scored dimensions. See the methodology.
What we like
- One flat price at every dose, published dose by dose — semaglutide 0.25–2.4mg, tirzepatide 2.5–15mg
- LegitScript verified, board-certified physician review, US compounding pharmacies
- Full refund minus a $39 visit fee if you are not prescribed, stated before checkout

Where points come off
- The most expensive tirzepatide here at $399/mo, and quarterly billing means the smallest charge on the site is $657 up front
- Just 23 states, not 40 — the product FAQs name Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Maine, Missouri, Montana, North Dakota, New Mexico, New York, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Wisconsin and Wyoming, and no others
- No month-to-month rung exists on any product — the smallest commitment MadeMed sells is a quarter
- Compounded only, with no brand-name lane
- Ships one vial every two months, a less flexible cadence than a monthly refill
- The returns page — linked only from the footer — makes all dispensed prescription sales final and the consultation fee non-refundable once the consult has happened, with a 7-day window to report a damaged, incorrect or lost order
The bottom line — B−
Best for: Anyone who expects to titrate and wants the eventual cost visible before starting.
