MadeMed review
A flat $239/mo semaglutide, $399/mo tirzepatide with one-click cancellation and a free L-Carnitine add-on at every dose — but it's only licensed in 23 states, and most of the country's biggest population centers aren't on the list.

How we scored MadeMed
Each factor is scored from MadeMed's real pricing, disclosures and oversight, then combined into the 46/100 Metabolic-Fit Score by the same weighted six-factor framework we apply to every provider — never nudged by whether a provider pays us.
No postpartum or breastfeeding framing — a generic weight program.
Thin on the hormonal picture that drives many mothers' weight.
Limited public detail on who oversees care and how.
Cost is unpredictable or sits at the premium end.
Support is thin once the prescription ships.
Exit terms are the weak point: lock-in, notice periods, or a cancellation you have to chase.

Independently live-verified 2026-08-04 by browser walkthrough — the state list and cancellation copy sit inside FAQ accordions on a client-rendered Next.js page and don't appear in a plain HTML fetch. LegitScript Verified; the pharmacy is described only as a 'Made in US pharmacy,' with no specific 503A pharmacy named.
What to expect when you sign up
We walked MadeMed's public signup funnel (August 2026) — a first-hand look at the flow. We don't create accounts, enter medical data, or complete checkout, so this is what any visitor sees, not a patient outcome.
- 1Browse the semaglutide or tirzepatide page directly — both list the flat quarterly price up front, no quiz required to see the number
- 2Complete the intake; a board-certified physician reviews your history before prescribing
- 3If approved, your vial ships free overnight in discreet packaging, along with injection supplies and a free L-Carnitine add-on at no upcharge
- 4Cancel any time from the dashboard in one click — no phone call
What we noticed
- The state list (23 states) and the cancellation policy both live inside FAQ accordions that only render once the page's JavaScript loads — the static HTML shell alone doesn't carry them
- Same flat price at every dose for each molecule; the only price movement is by commitment length, never by mg
- No mention anywhere of pregnancy, breastfeeding, postpartum recovery, or PCOS
- A refund is offered — full refund minus a $39 doctor-visit fee — if intake doesn't result in a prescription

What we like
- One flat price at every dose for each molecule — no step-up as you titrate
- One-click self-serve cancellation, no phone call or chat queue
- Free overnight shipping, injection supplies, and an L-Carnitine add-on bundled in at no extra cost
- Refund offered (minus a $39 doctor-visit fee) if intake doesn't lead to a prescription
The caveats
- Licensed in only 23 states — California, Washington, Oregon, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, North Carolina, Virginia, and Minnesota are all excluded, a real barrier for most of the country's population
- No mention anywhere of pregnancy, breastfeeding, postpartum recovery, or PCOS
- The specific 503A compounding pharmacy behind the 'Made in US pharmacy' claim isn't named
- The $239/mo headline is only on the quarterly plan; month-to-month pricing isn't published, and the deeper $199/mo rate requires a 6-month prepay
MadeMed for mothers: our verdict
A flat $239/mo semaglutide, $399/mo tirzepatide with one-click cancellation and a free L-Carnitine add-on at every dose — but it's only licensed in 23 states, and most of the country's biggest population centers aren't on the list. It runs about $239/month, flat across every dose — a premium to the category, so the extras have to earn it.
We weigh MadeMed the way mothers actually have to: not just the monthly cost, but postpartum and breastfeeding timing and PCOS and insulin resistance — the parts a generic weight-loss review skips.
What MadeMed actually costs
- Compounded semaglutide — Quarterly plan (most popular): $239/mo
- Compounded semaglutide — 6-month plan: $199/mo
- Compounded tirzepatide — Quarterly plan (most popular): $399/mo
- Compounded tirzepatide — 6-month plan: $369/mo
For context, the typical ongoing price across our roster is around $162/month, so MadeMed sits at the premium end.
The medications MadeMed prescribes
MadeMed prescribes semaglutide and tirzepatide — the two molecules with the strongest published weight-loss outcomes, and having both on one account matters when insulin resistance (common with PCOS and after gestational diabetes) makes tirzepatide the better-suited option. These are compounded formulations from a licensed pharmacy — the reason the price stays down — but compounded GLP-1s aren't FDA-approved finished products the way Wegovy and Zepbound are.
Where MadeMed fits — and where it doesn't — for mothers
A good fit if…
- you may need to move between semaglutide and tirzepatide as your body and hormones change.
Look elsewhere if…
- you specifically want an FDA-approved brand pen with its own pregnancy and lactation labeling.
- you'd rather a prescriber talk through timing around postpartum and breastfeeding timing — that's what our #1 pick, CoreAge Rx, is built for.
Trust, safety, and oversight
Our confidence in MadeMed's public facts is high — pricing, pharmacies, and clinical network were verifiable at last review. As with any compounded GLP-1, the most useful thing mothers can do is confirm which licensed pharmacy fills the prescription and what's in the formulation — we explain how we weigh oversight in our scoring methodology.
One line that applies to every provider on this site: no GLP-1 is established as safe in pregnancy or while breastfeeding, and the labels advise against use. This is a review of a commercial program, not a green light — the timing decision belongs to you and your clinician.
The bottom line
MadeMed is a reasonable option — weigh it on postpartum and breastfeeding timing and PCOS and insulin resistance against the alternatives below. For most mothers, CoreAge Rx remains the stronger all-round fit — see why it tops our ranking.
The bottom line for mothers

Alternatives to MadeMed
Providers we have a referral relationship with, ordered by their Metabolic-Fit Score — highest first. This module leaves out the provider whose page you are reading, so on CoreAge Rx's own review our #1 pick is the one name you will not find here. These are not the whole roster: see the full ranking for every provider we cover, paid or not.
- Visit CoreAge Rx92
Metabolic-Fit / 100
CoreAge RxOur #1 pickOne flat price, both molecules on a single chart, and a prescriber who reads your history before writing — the most predictable place for a mother to start and, just as important, to pause.
- Visit Gala Health84
Metabolic-Fit / 100
A flat $179 for either molecule with a genuinely gentle microdosing tier — a reasonable, all-doses-included option if you can live with a yearly plan and a pharmacy it doesn't name.
- Visit Enhance MD81
Metabolic-Fit / 100
One of the more oversight-forward compounded programs here — lab work and a live provider visit bundled into every plan, with a gentle microdosing tier — the catch is that the low '$212' headline you'll see quoted is the 12-month prepay rate, not the $249 you'd pay month to month.

MadeMed, answered
- Is MadeMed available in my state?
- Only in 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. That list notably excludes California, Washington, Oregon, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, North Carolina, Virginia, and Minnesota — check it before you start intake.
- Does MadeMed's price change by dose?
- No — it's one flat monthly price across the whole dose range for each molecule (0.25mg-2.4mg for semaglutide, 2.5mg-15mg for tirzepatide) on the quarterly plan. A 6-month prepay drops the price further, to $199/mo semaglutide or $369/mo tirzepatide.
