Factor by factor
The six factors behind each Value Score. The orange bar marks the stronger side. See the methodology.
HealthRX
A LegitScript-certified, physician-supervised program that's one of the few offering a genuine oral GLP-1 tablet alongside injectable — with transparent flat monthly pricing and no insurance required.
Why it's a deal
- LegitScript-certified (#50087439) — a genuine third-party trust signal
- Physician-supervised telehealth with licensed-provider intake
- Both molecules plus a rare oral GLP-1 tablet for the needle-averse
- Transparent flat monthly pricing with no insurance required
The fine print
- Compounded medication is not FDA-approved
- Some pricing tiers are company-stated and the site is thin — confirm before you buy
- Brand-name tiers are an expensive pass-through (Ozempic ~$1,299/mo)
- States served are not publicly listed — confirm coverage before you sign up
ShedRx
Good headline prices and four routes to a GLP-1 — but the cheapest numbers it advertises need a year-long commitment.
Why it's a deal
- Four routes — injection, liquid drops, lozenges and a daily oral pill — plus brand Zepbound and Wegovy
- $299 month-to-month tirzepatide is still competitive against flat-fee rivals
- Available in all 50 states, with health coaching included
The fine print
- The advertised "as low as $239" needs a twelve-month commitment — month-to-month is $299
- Compounded medication is not FDA-approved the way brand Ozempic, Wegovy, or Zepbound are
- The dispensing compounding pharmacy is not publicly named
