How I scored MD Exam
Every factor here comes from MD Exam's own pricing and its disclosures, and the six add up to the 41/100 Mom-Tested Score on the same weighted six-factor method I use on every provider. Some providers are partners, and we may be paid if you sign up through our links.
Scores low: pinning down the real ongoing number takes work.
Scores low: whether it reaches you is the open question.
Scores low on choice — the medication menu is narrower here.
Exit terms are the weak point: lock-in, notice periods, or a cancellation you have to chase.
Scores low here: getting started asks more of your week than most.
Support is the weakest part of this provider's score.

Before you sign up
I opened MD Exam's signup and stopped at the first screen that asked for personal details, so I can't tell you what comes after it. Here's what's worth knowing before you start.
Worth knowing
- A monthly price is visible on the public homepage before any intake — you do not have to hand over information to see a number
- The intake form sits on a separate site, not the one you started on
Pricing
| Medication | Monthly | Plan |
|---|---|---|
| Compounded semaglutide | $225 | Program price, medication included"Our program is priced as low as $225 per month, which includes telemedicine visits, nutrition and exercise coaching, and medication." A $50 consultation fee is charged separately, and the FAQ separately says the practice bills most major insurance — two models on one site. |
HSA and FSA usually work for this — worth checking your own plan. The prices here are what MD Exam's public disclosures showed at last review, and they change often; confirm the current number on MD Exam's own site.
What I like
- The advertised program includes medication and telemedicine
- Nutrition and exercise coaching are included
The caveats
- The $225 monthly figure is a starting price
- A separate $50 consultation fee is published; whether it is credited is unclear
- Confirm any lab and shipping costs
What I actually think of MD Exam
MD Exam advertises its medication-inclusive program from $225 a month, with telemedicine and nutrition and exercise coaching. The FAQ also lists a $50 consultation fee, refundable if not approved. Confirm whether that fee is credited and whether labs or shipping add to your selected plan. It runs about $225/month — pricier than most, so the extras have to earn it.
I look at MD Exam 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 MD Exam really costs
- Compounded semaglutide — Program price, medication included: $225/mo
For context, the typical ongoing price across my shortlist is around $179/month, so MD Exam sits at the pricey end.
Which meds MD Exam prescribes
MD Exam prescribes semaglutide (the active drug in Wegovy and Ozempic). Compounded GLP-1s are not FDA-approved finished products like Wegovy and Zepbound. Ask who dispenses the prescription and why a compounded formulation is appropriate for your situation.
Who MD Exam is — and isn't — for
A good fit if…
- you want a no-nonsense semaglutide program and you'll confirm the details before you commit.
Look elsewhere if…
- you specifically want an FDA-approved brand pen with its own pregnancy and lactation labeling.
- you want to compare another option before deciding — review the published terms and support offered by CoreAge Rx, our featured partner, alongside this provider.
Can you trust it?
I'll be honest: I couldn't verify much — MD Exam publishes little about how the program actually runs, so you're buying on price and trust in its partners. 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.
Pregnancy plans and breastfeeding need a product-specific discussion with your prescriber. Lactation guidance differs by medicine and formulation; limited milk-transfer studies do not establish long-term safety for every infant. See the breastfeeding evidence guide and plan the timing with your own clinician.
So, would I use it?
MD Exam is a reasonable option — weigh it against the picks below on nursing and pregnancy timing and canceling without a fight. If you want a second option, CoreAge Rx is our featured partner — you can see them side by side in this head-to-head.
The bottom line for moms
Best for: Someone who wants nutrition and exercise coaching alongside telemedicine and medication.

Head-to-head & alternatives
MD Exam, answered
- How much does MD Exam cost?
- As I last checked, MD Exam's pricing starts around $225/month (From $225/mo including medication, plus a $50 consultation semaglutide, Not priced separately tirzepatide). Confirm the current, all-in number on MD Exam's own site before you commit — these move.
- Is MD Exam okay to use while I'm breastfeeding?
- Breastfeeding advice depends on the exact medication and formulation. Breastfeeding is not recommended during oral semaglutide treatment; injected semaglutide and tirzepatide labeling calls for weighing clinical need, breastfeeding benefits and possible infant effects. Limited milk-transfer findings do not establish infant safety. Discuss the product offered by MD Exam, your baby's age and feeding pattern with your prescriber and pediatrician before deciding.
- Does MD Exam have both semaglutide and tirzepatide?
- MD Exam's tirzepatide access isn't consistently disclosed; it reads as mainly a semaglutide program right now. If you specifically want tirzepatide, confirm it's available first.
- Where does MD Exam land on your list?
- MD Exam scores 41/100 on the Mom-Tested Score (ranked #320), which weights the six things that actually matter when you're doing this around kids. CoreAge Rx, our featured partner, is worth a look side by side.
Pricing, states and verification reflect MD Exam's public disclosures at last review; the Mom-Tested Score is one mom's editorial judgment per the published method. This is background reading, not medical advice — GLP-1 medications are not established as safe in pregnancy or breastfeeding. See my medical disclaimer and how I'm funded.
