Flat $239/mo semaglutide and $399/mo tirzepatide with L-Carnitine thrown in free at every dose, and one-click cancellation — but it only ships to 23 states, and California, Washington and most of the Northeast aren't among them.

How I scored MadeMed
Every factor here comes from MadeMed's own pricing, its disclosures and the signup I walked, and the six add up to the 62/100 Mom-Tested Score on the same weighted six-factor method I use on every provider — never nudged by whether a provider pays us.
Scores low here: getting started asks more of your week than most.
Scores low: pinning down the real ongoing number takes work.
Covers what most moms need, if not every option.
Scores low: whether it reaches you is the open question.
Support is the weakest part of this provider's score.
Exit terms are the weak point: lock-in, notice periods, or a cancellation you have to chase.

$239 and $399 on the quarterly plan, or $199 and $369 across six months. But look at the map first — twenty-three states, excluding California, Washington, Oregon and most of the Northeast and Midwest. The state list and the refund terms are both tucked inside accordions.
What to expect when you sign up
I walked MadeMed's public signup funnel (August 2026) — a first-hand look at the flow. I don't create accounts, enter medical info, or check out, so this is what any visitor sees, not a patient outcome.
- 1Pick semaglutide or tirzepatide — the quarterly 'Most Popular' price is shown by default, with a 6-month option that drops it further
- 2Fill out a medical-history intake (weight history, current meds, conditions)
- 3A board-certified physician reviews it before anything ships
- 4Free overnight discreet shipping, with L-Carnitine included at every dose at no upcharge
What I noticed
- Both dedicated drug pages (injectable-semaglutide, injectable-tirzepatide) needed live rendering in-browser to show the states list and cancellation terms in their FAQ accordions — the static HTML shell alone doesn't carry that content
- Cancellation is genuinely one click from the dashboard — MadeMed's own copy is 'no chat queues, no guilt trips'
- Nothing on the site mentions pregnancy, breastfeeding, or postpartum — a real gap for this audience
- The 23-state map excludes California, Washington, Oregon, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, North Carolina, Virginia and Minnesota — check the list before you get attached to the price
Pricing
Prices re-verified
| Medication | Monthly | Plan |
|---|---|---|
| Compounded semaglutide | $239 | All doses (flat), quarterly planBilled $717 every 3 months — MadeMed's default 'Most Popular' plan. Drops to $199/mo if you commit to a 6-month plan instead; same flat price at every dose either way. |
| Compounded tirzepatide | $399 | All doses (flat), quarterly planBilled $1,197 every 3 months. Drops to $369/mo on the 6-month plan. |
HSA and FSA usually work for this — worth checking your own plan. The prices here are what MadeMed's public disclosures showed at last review, and they change often; confirm the current number on MadeMed's own site.
What I like
- Flat price at every dose for both molecules — no dose-upcharge surprise later
- One-click, self-serve cancellation, no phone call required
- Free L-Carnitine add-on at every dose, no upcharge
- Free overnight discreet shipping
- 6-month plan drops the price further ($199/$369) if you're ready to commit
The caveats
- Only ships to 23 states — excludes California, Washington, Oregon, and most of the Northeast and Midwest, a real dealbreaker for a lot of readers
- No mention anywhere of pregnancy, breastfeeding, or postpartum guidance
- Quarterly billing ($717 upfront) is the default plan shown, even though it's not the cheapest tier
- Compounded only — no FDA-approved brand option
- $39 doctor-visit fee withheld from your refund if the intake doesn't result in a prescription
What I actually think of MadeMed
Flat $239/mo semaglutide and $399/mo tirzepatide with L-Carnitine thrown in free at every dose, and one-click cancellation — but it only ships to 23 states, and California, Washington and most of the Northeast aren't among them. It runs about $239/month, and it's flat at every dose — pricier than most, so the extras have to earn it.
I look at MadeMed the way moms actually have to — not just the real monthly number, but nursing and pregnancy timing and canceling without a fight. That's the stuff a generic weight-loss review skips right over.
What MadeMed really costs
- Compounded semaglutide — All doses (flat), quarterly plan: $239/mo
- Compounded tirzepatide — All doses (flat), quarterly plan: $399/mo
For context, the typical ongoing price across my shortlist is around $179/month, so MadeMed sits at the pricey end.
Which meds MadeMed prescribes
MadeMed prescribes semaglutide and tirzepatide — the two with the strongest published weight-loss numbers, and having both on one account genuinely matters if insulin resistance is in the mix (which it often is with PCOS or after gestational diabetes), because that's when tirzepatide tends to be the better fit. These are compounded from a licensed pharmacy — that's why the price stays down — but compounded GLP-1s aren't FDA-approved finished products the way Wegovy and Zepbound are, and it's worth knowing that going in.
Who MadeMed is — and isn't — for
A good fit if…
- you might need to move between semaglutide and tirzepatide as your body and hormones shift.
Look elsewhere if…
- you specifically want an FDA-approved brand pen with its own pregnancy and lactation labeling.
- you'd rather a prescriber actually talk through nursing and pregnancy timing with you — that's what my #1 pick, CoreAge Rx, is built to do.
Can you trust it?
I'm confident in the public facts on MadeMed — pricing, pharmacies, and the clinical network all checked out when I last looked. With any compounded GLP-1, the most useful thing you can do is confirm which licensed pharmacy fills it and what's actually in the formulation — I explain how I weigh oversight in the scoring method.
One line that's true of every provider on this site: no GLP-1 is established as safe in pregnancy or while breastfeeding, and the labels say don't. This is me reviewing a commercial signup, not giving you a green light — the timing call is yours and your clinician's.
So, would I use it?
MadeMed is a reasonable option — weigh it against the picks below on nursing and pregnancy timing and canceling without a fight. For most moms, CoreAge Rx is still the stronger all-round fit — and you can see them side by side in this head-to-head.
The bottom line for moms
Best for: Moms who live in one of MadeMed's 23 covered states and want a flat, no-dose-upcharge price with an actually-easy cancel button.
If MadeMed isn't the one
Providers I have a referral relationship with, ordered by Mom-Tested Score — highest first. A fee never moves a score, but it does decide who shows up in this box, so it isn't everyone: my full ranking has every provider, paid or not.
- Visit CoreAge RxMom-Tested Score94/100ACoreAge RxMy #1 pick
The one I'd point a friend to first: I finished the intake in a single nap, the price on screen was the price I'd actually pay, and both semaglutide and tirzepatide were right there on one account.
- Visit Pallas HealthMom-Tested Score86/100B+
Pallas is one of the few places that will sell you either the cheap compounded route or the real brand-name pen without making you pick a provider first — compounded semaglutide works out to about $199 a month and tirzepatide about $299, while actual Zepbound, Ozempic, Wegovy and Mounjaro sit alongside them at cash-pay prices from $1,069. The price genuinely doesn't climb as you titrate, Pallas says so plainly on its own site, and the clinician, dose adjustments, check-ins and messaging are all inside that one number with no membership fee stacked on top. Two clinicians are named and both check out in the federal NPI registry, the LegitScript badge it displays is a real one, and it publishes an actual refund policy — full refund if a clinician turns you down, and a $5 processing fee if you cancel a qualifying payment — which is more paperwork than most of this market bothers with. The two things to know before you commit: it bills every 12 weeks in $597 and $897 chunks rather than monthly, and it never names its compounding pharmacy.
- Visit Trimi HealthMom-Tested Score85/100B
The price-first pick: some of the lowest flat, all-inclusive pricing I found, in all 50 states — great if the monthly number is your whole decision and you read the annual-prepay fine print before you sign.
